Human Resources
What's important with job assessment is that the HR professional defines the job's overall objectives (i.e., Why does the job exist? What are major results to be achieved?). Another key component to job analysis are the key functions of the job (the priorities of the various functions, the time spent on each function, etc.). Additionally, the job's qualifications need to be review and updated regularly (i.e., education, experience, resources, abilities, etc.). Finally, the personal attributes required to successfully function within this job description should be clarified (i.e., individual attributes, level of team interactiveness, leadership style, etc.).
