During the review, duties, competencies, knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics of the job can be added, deleted or modified. Job analysis is designed to provide a reliable method of quickly and effectively identifying critical competencies (ie knowledge, skills and abilities) and establishing the qualifications for a job or role.

But we plan, very carefully and cautiously, before making most other investments in process changes and in capital and operating expenditures. We need to do the same for Human Resource Development. The largest expense for HRD programs, by far, is attributable to the time spent by the participants in training programs, career development, and/or organization development activities. ==================================================================== METHODS OF TRAINING NEEDS IDENTIFICATION In addition to -PERFORMANACE APPRAISAL there are other methods like -ONE TO ONE INTERVIEWS [ in person / by telephone] [ one to one information gathering] -FOCUS GROUPS [meetings of individuals who share an interest in the subject exchange ] -USING QUESTIONNAIRE [ information gathering on paper] -DOCUMENT ANALYSIS [reviewing the existing documents/ analysing] -OBSERVATION [observing / reviewing people performing on the job] -SEEKING...
