Job and competency analysis

Job analysis, competency frameworks, and job profiles provide a strong foundation for organisational success because they assist you to:

• identify skill and competency requirements
• recruit and induct the right people
• identify where training and professional development is required
• develop expertise in key areas
• evaluate performance
• plan for succession.

Workbase has an effective process to create job profiles, which has been successfully used with many businesses and industry training organisations.

Job analysis

Developing the necessary workforce skill base requires defining the tasks, capabilities, knowledge and attributes needed for each role, and knowing the extent to which current employees meet these requirements.

Job analysis can help to improve:

• recruitment
• induction
• training
• development
• succession planning
• employee evaluation.

Competency frameworks

Job analysis can be used to develop a competency framework. A competency framework specifies the organisation's skill requirements making them transparent to employees. Having a competency framework benefits organisations by:

• clarifying what competencies are required for improved performance
• ensuring training focuses on what will deliver the greatest benefits
• delivering focused development strategies.

Job profiles

Job analysis can be used to produce job profiles. Job profiles describe a job's main tasks and how frequently those tasks are performed. They may specify the literacy and numeracy skills needed to complete those tasks. Job profiles can:

• explain the essential components of occupations
• assist with developing job descriptions
• assist with developing qualifications
• help to identify existing staff members' training needs.
