Personnel professionals need to acquire and constantly update a full portfolio of core skills; this series aims to equip managers with all the essential elements. This book offers a series of invaluable techniques for assessing how work is done - and how it could be done better. Whenever managers try to define excellence or draw up job descriptions, identify career paths or evaluate a training scheme, job, task and role analysis count as vital tools. In this text, two leading occupational psychologists examine the most effective modern methods and illustrate their use with fascinating real-life examples. Their revised second edition includes full discussion of recent developments like the Work Profiling System and the competency framework. For all personnel specilaists and many other managers, it offers an introduction to a crucial area of expertise.
