Job training is considered part of a structured career-development
system that includes cross training and job rotation. This system
of training and job rotation enhances the flexibility of the
production process we mentioned earlier. It creates talent reserves
that can be used as the need arises when products or processes
change or the workforce is reduced.

Allow employees control over their own work and some of the
supervisory responsibilities for the job, while retaining
accountability, also called vertical job enlargement.
Assign each worker a complete unit of work that includes all
the tasks necessary to complete a process or product with
clearly defined start and end points so that the employee feels

.
The two traditional forms of employee payment are the hourly
wage and the individual incentive, or piece-rate, wage, both of
which are tied to time. The hourly wage is self-explanatory; the
longer someone works, the more he or she is paid. In a piece-rate
system, employees are paid for the number of units they produce
during the workday.

In the United States affirmative action and equal opportunity are
sometimes confused with managing diversity, but they are not the

goals and timetables designed to increase the level of participation
by women and minorities to attain parity levels in a company’s
workforce.

Motion Study:
The most detailed form of job analysis is motion study, the study
of the individual human motions used in a task. The purpose of
motion study is to make sure that a job task does not include any
unnecessary motion by the worker and to select the sequence of
motions that ensure that the task is being performed in the most
efficientt way.

Summary of General Guidelines for Motion Study
Efficient Use of the Human Body:
Work should be simplified, rhythmic, and symmetric.
Hand/arm motions should be coordinated and simultaneous.
The full extent of physical capabilities should be employed; all
parts of the body should perform; the hand should never be
idle.
Energy should be conserved by letting machines perform tasks.
Tasks should be simple, requiring minimal eye contact and
minimal muscular effort, with no unnecessary motions, delays,
or idleness.
