A complete functional job analysis not only outlines the essential tasks of the job, but also identifies the critical knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform the tasks and determines the physical demands that are directly linked to the tasks. When a job analysis incorporates all this information, duplication of effort is eliminated while specific job information is easier to keep current.

The job analysis process that Solutions Northwest uses serves to uncover issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. The process often leads to the development of more efficient and effective work methods and processes.

The functional job analysis can meet all your personnel management needs to include:

• Identifying personnel needs
• Selecting the best applicants
• Developing useful and effective training programs
• Developing relevant job performance evaluations
• Uncovering safety, health and ergonomic issues
• Identifying more efficient and organized work methods
• Managing occupational and non-occupational illnesses and injuries

As part of writing job analyses Solutions Northwest will work with your team to:

• Develop task descriptions
• Write task statements
• Determine task clusters
• Defined critical tasks
• Define the knowledge, skills, abilities and other attributes of the critical tasks
• Define the physical demands of the job.

Regardless of the size of your organization, the job analysis is an essential management tool for human resource professionals, occupational nurses, general management, and claims managers.
