The conventional way we design jobs is no longer relevant. It is time to shift from job specification to job crafting. About this event During our lifetime, most of us spends about 40 years in the workforce, unless we’re fortunate enough to win lotto or reap a sizable inheritance. During employment, we devote approximately half our waking hours during the work week on the job. Sadly, most people see this enormous chunk of time as a struggle, or at least, a bore, looking forward to the weekend. For it is on the weekend that these people can then indulge in worthwhile pursuits. That’s a big slab of potentially wasted time! The job itself is rarely spoken about as a primary source of disengagement. For over 100-years we have been told what to do, how to do it, and when to do it in our jobs. Jobs have been tradionally designed to place a straightjacket around the jobholder. Should we be surprised that over 70% of people are disengaged at work. Job crafting is the next evolution is job design. What is job crafting? How does it work? And how can it be implemented. This comes from Dr. Tim Baker's latest book, "The Future of Human Resources: Unlocking Human Potential." Join me by registering for this interesting look at redesigning jobs through job crafting.

Proactive Paradox Process

8. Example
Paul works in IT in customer support. He
spends most of his time on a help line but had
a passion for testing and improving new
software. Through discussions with his
manager, Paul joined a group that tested new
applications before they were launched in the
company. This took up about three hours every
month.
Whilst Paul’s role didn’t substantially change
through job crafting, he was delighted that his
skill and passion for analysis of new
applications was being recognized.

10. Example
Harry, a bus driver, decides to give
helpful sightseeing advice while
travelling his regular route from the
airport to the city. He’s mindful that
many of his passengers are from out of
town. Harry perceives his job as more
than driving a bus (cognitive crafting).
By using his extensive local knowledge,
Harry decides to use his extroverted
personality to good effect. He decides to
add sightseeing to his primary task of
driving a bus.

Employment
Needs

• employees with disabilities or
health problems

12. Example
Marilyn is an architect who specializes in
designing offices for large companies.
She goes out of her way to organize
several informal meetings with her
clients on a new office design project.
During these meetings, Marilyn—instead
of looking at the current office layout—
observes the way people are working
and how they interact with one another.
After several visits, Marilyn changes the
office designs based on her observations
and interactions with the customer.
