Avoid the biggest HR mistake many businesses make … not doing job analysis!

BLR's The Job Analyzer will help you do it right!

In these days of high costs and shrinking budgets, businesses work hard to get the most from every salary and benefits dollar. But many make a fundamental mistake in deciding what to pay for a job. That's skipping the decision on whether the position is even needed in the first place!

It does happen. Organizational structures valid once don't keep up with the times. Old patterns persist. And soon those valuable human resources are misplaced for efficient functioning. If your company's been open more than a year or two, it's probably a candidate for job analysis.

BLR's The Job Analyzer is the ideal guide to put modern job analysis to work for you. In one powerful volume, at a cost of less than a dollar a day, it trains you on all these tasks:

• Analyze Jobs to be sure you're getting done what's really needed, and paying for nothing more.
• Write job descriptions that get the right person with the right skills into the right position. … and also meet the stringent requirements for job descriptions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
• Evaluate jobs to make sure your plans turn into efficient reality. Several methods are explained.
• Price jobs to be both fair and competitive, both inside and outside your organization, and not pay a dollar more than necessary for the candidate you want.
• Evaluate individual performance to be sure the individuals to whom you've entrusted the work are making it happen with maximum efficiency… and that your supervisors and managers are properly trained to get the most from every appraisal.

Enlist willing help in the organization

The above is a tall order for any professional. You'll need help in the organization to get it done. The Job Analyzer provides the secrets to getting that help … willingly.

You'll learn to make the case for job analysis convincingly to general management, supervisors and workers themselves, explaining the benefits it will provide. See how to conduct necessary surveys. And, if you employ a professional job analyst, you'll learn to prime and support that person for best results.

Look also for the forms and checklists you need, the charts and graphing techniques, and the all important questionnaires and interview questions that help determine if the job as it exists on your org chart … and your payroll … matches what's really happening on the office or shop floor.

What's more, The Job Analyzer is written in BLR's trademark style, in plain English and practical terms, for the day to day HR manager in a business environment, not the lawyer. We've been doing it that way for some 30 years now, and it's earned us the respect, and the business, of more than one million of your colleagues, at companies large and small, including more than 475 of the Fortune 500.

The price for all this? It's just $99 for the complete download. That's about 38 cents a working day to get your organization leaner, cleaner and tuned for success!
