Question

The Wentworth Corporation is a mid-sized manufacturing company located in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia. In business for ten (10) years, it has become one of the area’s largest producers of Widgets. James Henderson and three (3) associates founded the company, which has slowly grown to employ 500 employees, primarily production workers, in its three (3) existing facilities. Henderson is the President and CEO of the corporation, and Mike Johnson is the newly appointed Manager of Human Resources. Wentworth has not employed a full-time HR manager in the past. Henderson is currently in the final stages of securing a major new account. If awarded to Wentworth, it would be a major accomplishment for the firm. However, the additional business would require setting up a new production facility in the state of Wisconsin and hiring 275 additional employees. Mike Johnson has had little experience in creating large staffing initiatives, and both he and Henderson are unsure how to proceed. Henderson and Johnson turn to HR Strategies, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in the functional areas of human resources. As a senior-level consultant in the staffing and recruitment division, you have been asked to head up the team designed to assist Wentworth in the development of a staffing initiative for the new facility. Your Stand-Alone Project responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct and formatted in the same fashion as the project itself. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document them in a bibliography using APA style.

1-) The first is the Observation method where job analysis is conducted by experts or analysts through observing how the Employees or workers are doing their job and what skills, talent, intellect or responsibility is needed to do the tasks. This is a difficult method to analyse a job because Different analysts have different opinions of the oberservation and it can be overshadowed by personal grudges but can be resolved by proper training and development of the analysts There are different types of sub method under this which are Direct observation , work method analysis where time and motion of the work is analysed etc.

2-) Interview method- This Method of job analysis is done to get feedback about a job from the Employees themselves. They are Interviewed about how they feel about the job, what are the challenging factors, what they like and dislike about the job, what technicals have to be involved etc.

3-) Questionnaire Method- These analysis is mainly done by the Employees's Seniors and managers by asking them a set of questions in a written format. In This analysis the questions chosen should be very accurate to serve the purpose of the analysis and it should be communicated to the Employees that they should fill the questions with absolute honesty because this is for their own benefit.

Answerb) The three ways are -

1-) Knowing the past records of the Employees. The Employees who are already working in the factory, the company would want to employ more of the Employees with similar past recory for example same qualifications, same experience etc. So, Knowing the history is important.

2-) Experimental atmosphere- The Company can also Collect data by experimenting . For example - some Employees should be given a emergency situation and seen how they handle it. So the Employees who are able to tackle it, their traits should be adopted in finding similar traits in market.
