Document Summary

In this practice, we need to decide what employees will do on a day-to-day basis and how jobs are interconnected. Each job comprises a set of tasks to be achieved by the occupant and the output of those tasks act as inputs for other tasks at other jobs. Ultimately, jobs are dependent on each other and interrelated to achieve vital organizational objectives and provide competitive products and services to customers. No one design fits all situations; example an accountant job tasks might differ among two organizations. This practice deals with maintaining the necessary number (quantity) of employees; a very challenging task to achieve. Organizations need to ensure that they have enough occupants at each job to perform the tasks. Organizations have many options to attain its human production capacity; for example they may decide to move employees internally or recruit new employees or even outsource jobs. Strategic changes influence labor demands. (e. g. reorganization of operation, new product/service).
