Job Task Analysis Ergonomic Analysis Job-Specific Testing Requirements Ongoing Validation

Accurately assess the true physical demands of your jobs with measured and quantified Job Task Analysis.

WorkSTEPS’ Job Task Analysis allows for employers to consistently make informed and legally-compliant decisions about hiring new employees, moving existing employees into new jobs, and returning injured employees safely back to work.

Making such decisions based on functional job analysis data that accurately reflects the actual requirements of a job gives you a competitive edge, because you can:

  • Attract employees more likely to be a good fit for the job
  • Reduce turnover
  • Decrease work-related injuries
  • Lower workers’ compensation costs
  • Quickly return injured workers back to the job
  • Avoid disruptions to production that occur when skilled employees become disabled

When the physical demands of your jobs change, WorkSTEPS is there to assess how those changes potentially impact the validity of your test criteria and update the test criteria to reflect those changes in real time with a PAVE subscription.

Employers can be confident that trained and certified job analysts will accurately assess the physical requirements of the jobs, develop test criteria that ensures candidates and employees are able to safely perform their jobs, and are supported by the most legally-compliant validation program on the market through PAVE.

Accurate and Reliable Job Task Analysis.

Job analysis requires precision to accurately quantify the various demands of a given job. Our Job Analysis team collects, analyzes, and interprets data on various factors of the job including ergonomic, physical, environmental, and more. Our rigorous and scientific process ensures the demands of your positions are accurately identified and quantified so you can find the right employee for the position. 

Job analysis usually requires the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data surrounding the role in question.
This may require:

  • Identifying the duties of an employee in the position
  • Monitoring the duration of each task
  • Observing the employee at work
  • Interviewing the employee and managers about the requirements of the position
  • Comparing the position to other jobs within the same job classification

Once the data has been analyzed, we can help work with you to develop a clear picture of the physical demands of the job. This will help you determine what qualifications are required of your candidates.

Customized to Your Needs.

Our Job Task Analysis and Job Description services can be tailored to your unique requirements. Whether you need a more comprehensive analysis measuring the physical demands of all essential and marginal functions required of a position, or a more targeted analysis of only the most physically-demanding tasks, we’ve got you covered. For the most thorough, validated, and legally-defensible job analysis process available, consider our proprietary Physical Abilities Validity Evaluator (PAVE™).

Job Analysis Report.

Job descriptions are the foundation for recruiting, hiring, performance evaluation, and promotion tracking. Accurate, validated job descriptions are critical if you need to defend disparate impact in hiring due to physically-demanding jobs, or if you need to defend an employee’s pay grade or classification. Having the accurate job demands and functions available within a job description will help employers attract the right candidate.

Before creating a job description, it is recommended that you perform a thorough job analysis to understand the requirements of the position. Once this has been completed and assessed, you can create a strong description of the duties.

A job analysis report will include:

  • Essential duties of the position
  • Physical requirements and their frequencies
  • Select identified risks
  • Work environment details
  • Vision requirements
  • Specialized and rated tools and equipment
  • Confined spaces
  • Safety gear
  • Licenses or certifications

While some of this may seem standard, many employers fail to create tailored descriptions for their jobs and may have descriptions that are vague or unclear. Another mistake that many make is failing to update their descriptions as requirements or technologies change over time. It is essential to make sure that your descriptions are accurate and match the real-life demands of the position to ensure that you get the candidates you need.
