Job Demand Analysis

Job Demand Analysis (JDA) is the analysis of a particular job, on-site, to determine the exact physical and positional demands of the job.  We determine the physical demands associated with the essential functions and then develop a report to outline the physical demands required for full duty work.  We identify positions and weights handled in regards to frequency, duration, and intensity of every task.

The JDA is critical when developing a post-offer test.  IHS uses digital videos to capture all the evaluated areas in regards to the tasks performed, the environment, and equipment used.  The video will act as a future source to confirm the validity of the HPE/POET as well.  Utilizing employer interviews and Department of Labor terminology, job requirements are assessed and calculated, such as manual material handling, sitting and standing physical demands, positional tolerance, climbing, disturbances and height navigation, static position requirements, dynamic mobility, and other required occupational aptitudes.
