Join us on March 26, 2024 at 12pm EST for an IPAC webinar, What to Do After the Job Analysis: Good Data, Bad Data, Ugly Data
Session Description: This webinar will focus on primarily on issues that may arise from job analysis data collection and how to potentially address them. Such issues might include having gaps in data where major work duties “fell out”, or perhaps an outlier incumbent is driving ratings in a direction inconsistent with other incumbents. We will address issues related to the collection of data that can result in positive or negative outcomes and how to apply job analysis results to subsequent screening and assessment. Hopefully, participants will come away from the webinar with a stronger understanding of how to avoid pitfalls when job analysis data is questionable and concerning.
