APPROACHES TO JOB REDISGN

I. Job Rotation

Job design involves periodic assignment of an employee to completely different sets of job activities. As traditionally used, job rotation is low in both impact and complexity because it typically moves employees from one routine job to another.

Advantages:

It is an effective way to develop multiple skills in employees, which benefits the organization while creating greater job interest and career options for the employee.

Job rotation may be of considerable benefit if it is part of a larger redesign effort and/or it is used as a training and development approach to develop various employee competencies and prepare employees for advancement.

At times, it may be used to control the problem of repetitive stress injuries by moving people among jobs that require different physical movements.
