Job Demands Analysis (JDA)

Job Demands Analysis (JDA)

Outcome

  • Written report
  • Detailed description of job demands
  • Recommendations for training, rehabilitation or adaptations

Method of delivery

Carried out at the worksite with the employer. The employee may or may not be present depending on the referrer's requirements.

Purpose of the Service

Job Demands Analysis is to provide a detailed and accurate description of the job demands of an individual's role to assist in the return to work process.

What is a Job Demands Analysis?

It is a structured process designed to identify the specific physical, psychosocial and environmental requirements of a job. Information is collected through observation, measurement and interviews with managers and sometimes employees.  This onsite information is then analysed, compared and combined with reference literature on the role through O-Net.

This analysis results in a specific job description and occupational requirements of the individual's role which is documented in a full written report. This can be used to inform a Functional Capacity Evaluation to enable the individual's capacity to be measured against the very specific demands of the role identified. A JDA may also assist in identifying adjustments, ergonomics, role modifications and tailoring return to work plans.

Who is this suitable for?

This type of assessment is helpful to understand an individual's job role. This is commonly carried out to assist the return to work process for people with an injury or health condition where it is unclear if they are able to return to their former role.

Kind words from our clients

Ergocom provided in depth consultation covering a phased return to work plan, equipment for both home and workplace that would help with recovery and advice surrounding how colleagues could help in the workplace. The phased return to work plan was successful in that the return to work has now been sustained over a number of years.

Ergocom provided me with a friendly, approachable and very professional consultant who encouraged me where I felt I was regularly failing. Sue is just fantastic. I was speaking to someone who actually understood and who helped and supported me in a caring and constructive manner, which is what I so desperately needed. I have struggled badly, but this is the first decently sustained return to work after I had four failed attempts over a 16 month period.

It has been good to look back from when I was recovering from the operation, to getting back to work and to where I am now.  Christa’s support meant that I did not have to stress about work, and that I was not going to be forced into work before I was ready.  The ‘hand-holding’ when I did start work was important - I needed someone one to say, “no, not yet’ and “OK, now you are ready to give it a go".

It’s been really good having you working on the account and I have really valued your input (and wisdom ) on the wide variety of cases we have.

Support from Ergocom has been a great asset in my rehabilitation and return to work. Being able to speak to a third party with an understanding of the difficulties of returning from a major illness and surgery has been an invaluable source of comfort and support through the “ups and downs”.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help and support, I couldn’t have made it back to where I am now without your help. My doctor also said that he has been very impressed with how my employer has handled my return, and I believe that a lot of that credit must go to you. I was dreading returning to work, but you have made it so much easier than I thought it would be.

The help and advice I have received has been invaluable. The guidance and support provided to me has given me the tools I needed to work with my employer to ensure an amicable agreement during my return to work.
