Job Task Analysis
Most organisations have documented position descriptions, including KPI’s relating to employees performance and their code of conduct. Inherent requirements of jobs are not the same as job description.
Sometimes employers and employees alike do not fully comprehend the key demands of a job, including the physical, psychological, cognitive, behavioural and environmental components of that job. As such, certain situations like recruiting the right candidate or planning the safe return to work of an injured employee can become a daunting task if the inherent requirements of a person’s role are not clearly outlined.
What is Job Task Analysis?
Job Task Analysis (JTA) involves a comprehensive examination and breakdown of the demands specific to a particular task within a workplace. JTA’s are conducted by experienced Occupational Health Consultants, with extensive knowledge of workplace environments, skilled in observation of movement.
Our Job Task Analysis helps organisations identify the inherent requirements of a role and can be used for pre employment screening and RWT planning.
