Rooted in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, job analysis is essential for numerous HR functions. This systematic approach involves collecting, documenting, and analyzing job-related information within an organization. It offers a thorough understanding of job requirements, including responsibilities, necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs), as well as the work environment.
DCI employs a multi-method approach to ensure accurate and reliable insights. Our methods include:
- Reviewing existing job descriptions, performance data, and other relevant documents
- Observing employees perform their job responsibilities to gain firsthand insights
- Leading discussions with job incumbents, supervisors, and other subject matter experts to capture comprehensive perspectives
- Distributing job analysis surveys to capture quantitative data on job requirements
This evidence-based process results in a detailed understanding of job requirements, which can inform a number of HR processes.
- Develop clear, detailed job descriptions that outline essential job functions/responsibilities and the KSAOs sought in a candidate
- Enhance legal defensibility of HR processes by grounding them in job-related, merit-based characteristics and aligning them with regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- Develop and validate hiring selection tools that accurately measure job-relevant KSAOs and predict job performance
- Create fair, structured performance appraisal criteria based on lists of job requirements
- Identify knowledge and skill gaps and design targeted training programs to upskill employees
- Support equitable compensation structures by comparing information about job responsibilities across roles and to the market
- Facilitate strategic workforce planning by understanding the KSAOs needed for advancement across roles
