Document Summary

The key point here is that workflow analysis is not a neutral or an entirely technical activity. Employees & hr practitioners are making decisions about what sort of work force they will have and how they will treat their workers. These decisions set the tone for subsequent hrm functions, such as creating a recruitment plan and establishing compensation policies. The purpose of job analysis is to collect accurate information about what a job requires (knowledge, skills, abilities etc. ), what it entails (activities), and what it contributes (outputs). This information is often recorded in the job description. Work flow design is the process of analyzing the tasks necessary for the production of a product or service. To achieve high quality performance, organizations have to understand and match job requirements and people. This understanding requires job analysis; the process of getting detailed information about jobs.
