Job Task Analysis

Matching the job to the person, with the psychosocial demands of the work considered alongside the physical ones.

What this is

Job Task Analysis examines what a job actually requires, so that the job can be matched to the person rather than the person assumed to fit the job. The analysis includes psychosocial risks, not only physical demands.

Any job task can be assessed, and the assessment is AI-assisted. It can be used at recruitment, during employment, and where a fitness to work decision has to be made.
