...organizations in the health care industry. As a midlevel sales manager, part of my jobs and responsibilities are to select new members for my sales team and create a development plan to help my team succeed with the company’s new strategy. In other to accomplish these objectives, certain things have to be in their right places. For example, a job analysis has to be conducted, an outline of a workforce planning system has to instituted, and new competent team members have to be selected. A job analysis is a description of work to be done, the skills needed, and the training and experience required for various jobs (Cascio, p. 157). A job description can be referred to as an overall written summary of task requirements, while overall written summary of worker requirements is called job specification. The result of the process of job analysis is a job description and a job specification (Cascio, p.158). In order to effectively conduct a job analysis, I need to identify the analysis method (s) that is appropriate, so as to achieve and attain the Interclean’s short and long term goals. These analysis methods are: Job Performance, Observation, Interviews, Critical Incidents, and Structured Questionnaires. Sound HR management practice dictates that thorough job analysis always is done, for they provide a deeper understanding of the behavioral requirements of jobs. This in turn, creates a solid basis on which to make job-related employment decisions (Cascio, p.159). Since InterClean provides...
