Job Analysis/Role Profiling

Job analysis is the process that ultimately leads to a set of job descriptions, role profiles and/or job family models. We can look at the key accountabilities of a job and produce a set of key performance indicators against that job that will help to determine the skills, knowledge, experience, competencies and behaviours associated with the successful performance of that job.

The process of job analysis is a critical function as job descriptions and roles and responsibilities form the baseline information that drive:

Job Grading

Performance management reminds us that being busy is not the same as producing results. It reminds us that training, strong commitment and lots of hard work alone are not results. The major contribution of performance management is its focus on achieving results.

LifeSense HR specialises in designing and delivering performance management schemes that impact on the bottom line.

A total package or total cost to company approach to remuneration means that a significant portion of the employee’s package is managed as a single entity, in contrast to the basic salary plus benefits approach, where each benefit item is managed separately. LifeSense HR has designed an approach that ensures an equitable solution for both the organisation and its employees.

We review and redefine a client’s benefit structures to ensure that employees have maximum flexibility at no extra cost to the organisation. Our process ensures full compliance with SARS requirements.

Our change management methodologies guarantee full compliance with all the legal requirements for a change in the terms and conditions of employment, and also that employee buy-in is achieved. We redefine an organisation’s increase process to ensure that this process is managed equitably over the medium and long term.

Attracting and selecting the right person for the job is such a vital activity.

The whole process of recruitment can be very time consuming, expensive and can also bring with it many dangers especially with the current employment legislation around equal opportunities and discrimination – you have to be very careful!

The costs of getting it wrong can be very expensive indeed! If you think that the costs associated with recruiting the wrong person are bad enough, the costs can be even higher for you both in monetary and in reputation terms if you discriminate throughout the recruitment process even if you did not do it knowingly!

We can put your mind at rest by getting the best person for the job and at the same time make sure that you do everything by the book from a legal perspective.

We can help you with your one-off appointments or major recruitment drives by completing the whole process or a part of the process like writing a particular job description or selection criteria– no job is too big or small.
