HRM professionals will be required by their organizations to assist in analyzing

HRM professionals will be required by their organizations to assist in analyzing individual job roles as part of the overall workforce planning process. Analyzing job roles within the organization ensures HR professionals have the right information to base recruitment, selection, and training decisions on.
In completing this assignment, focus on these three main points:
Reference Figure 9.5 in Chapter 9, in the textbook. Using a job of your choice, complete an in-depth job analysis using all 15 points provided on the Job Analysis Worksheet. Please see the attached chapter.
After completing the job analysis, in a 500-750-word essay, briefly review the steps in the strategic workforce planning (SWP) process. Describe how the four components of the strategic workforce planning process work together with a focus on explaining where the job analysis would fit into the SWP. This part of the assignment should reflect academic formatting throughout. The job analysis data should be presented as an appendix to this essay.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide and Template, located in the Student Success Center.
This essay should be supported by a minimum of 2 current scholarly articles. When searching for current scholarly articles in the library database, make sure the peer review box is checked as part of the search criteria and the publication dates are within the last 5-7 years.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
Couple things to note about the major assignment this week that I find students tend to overlook.
These are great assignments moving forward because they give you the chance to practice what a person working in HR would do and explain why they would do it. It’s a combination of knowledge and applied skill.
1. Completing a job analysis is a practical work-based assignment task, an HR practitioner would do this task in the workplace. Feel free to do the job analysis on your own job (or one you have had in the past), no one knows your job better than you do. Make sure you ‘do’ the job analysis, do not tell me how you would go about doing one. Pretend I just hired you into an HR position and the first task I have given you is to write a job analysis. Use your knowledge to apply the skill.
2. Make sure you follow the assignment instructions (content rubric 1) and carefully read/use Figure 9.5 in Chapter 9, in the textbook to format your job analysis; make sure your number and address all 15 points. Make it detailed (especially the list of tasks) and professional, this is going to be a workplace document, and you are going to come back to this document (as would other people in your workplace) as the foundation for several upcoming assignments. The presentation of this document in your workplace is an extension of your work ethic/professionalism.
3. The steps to strategic workforce planning (SWP) are also in the textbook, and include: talent inventory, predicting the future workforce, planning for talent provision (action plan), control and evaluation (p. 237). There are obviously other models out there, if you choose to use a different one, make sure these 4 steps are included as a minimum.
4. The SWP makes up the essay part of the assignment (500-750 words). To meet the writing rubric requirements, the SWP essay portion of the assignment will need a clear introduction/purpose, body and conclusion, reference list and the job analysis is its appendix.
5. You are required to present the job analysis you prepared in an appendix. Appendices are not part of our overall word count. Since there are probably a few of us who have little or no experience with using appendices, the proper APA 7 formatting/use for appendices is:
Appendices:
should be positioned at the end of the paper, after the reference list
Each appendix should begin on a separate page
Each appendix should have a label (ie: Appendix A); Put the appendix label centered at the top of the page. If a paper has one appendix, label it Appendix. If a paper has more than one appendix (or appendices), label them in order using the letters of the alphabet: Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, etc.
On the next line under the appendix label, place the centered title of the appendix; the appendix title should describe the contents of the appendix (i.e.: Job Analysis – Painter; CIT Interview Participant 1)
Use title case for your title and labels (the first letter of each word should be capitalized, while remaining letters should be lowercase).
USE OF APPENDICIES: Refer to the appendix (or appendices) using their appropriate label at least once within the body of the paper. The appendix contains supplemental material that links directly to your paper’s discussion that would be distracting or inappropriate in the text of the paper; usually due to length and word count parameters of an assignment. Use your job analysis to support and exemplify your workforce planning discussion.
Appendices are going to be your best friend when you start doing and presenting your own primary research.
