As you can see from our textbook and perhaps from your own experience, the issue of job analysis sparks debate, even among HR professionals. Managers, supervisors, and employees are often heard to complain that job descriptions and job analysis are a waste of their time or that job analysis does not hold any value for them. Based on your reading of our textbook and your research of other sources, please respond to the following:
• Do you see value in the job analysis process? What would you say to convince a manager or employee to change their minds about the value of job analysis?
• Do you see any alternative that would provide the information required while addressing the concerns of managers and employees?
