Overview of Job Redesign (JR)
Job Redesign (JR) involves relooking at what and how work should be done in a job. This could be done through modifying job elements including tasks, duties and responsibilities.
Some potential Job Redesign techniques include:
UNCOUPLING
Separate tasks into two jobs at the same level.
UNSTACKING
Separate tasks into two jobs at different levels.
Segmenting
Take portions out of other jobs and combine them into a new job
Benefits
Job Redesign is a critical enabler to support business transformation. It may include technology adoption. This is an essential journey to ensure that your employees keep pace with evolving business needs while uplifting their capabilities and ensuring their relevance at the workplace.
The benefits of Job Redesign are multi-faceted, which will include:
Create agile workforce
Improve productivity and reduce operating cost
Reduce manpower requirements
Improve employee experience
Enhance guest experience
Outcome of Job Redesign
The intent of Job Redesign is to create higher value-added jobs. At the end of the Job Redesign journey, jobs are expected to change in the following ways:
ENLARGED
Addition of tasks that are of similar responsibilities
ENRICHED
Addition of more demanding tasks or tasks that may require additional training
RE-CONFIGURED
Shifting of tasks, duties, or responsibilities amongst jobs to more closely align jobs to organisational goals
