Job Analysis And Competency Modeling
Prepare a 1-2-page job description and competency model that follows a specified example. You will use O*Net Online to select the job.
Job analysis, job competencies, and job descriptions form critical elements of employee recruiting, selection, and organizational staffing. We must understand the job, know its nature, and describe its competencies before we can announce the position and attract quality applicants. To get to this point, the HR professional must have the skill to conduct research, including employee and supervisor interviews. These interviews will contain valuable real-life information that will describe the job to be advertised and filled. For this assessment, you will be developing a position description.

Sample Solution
The job of an Occupational Health Physician Assistant (OHPA) is critical to the health and safety of workers in an organization. As a member of the OMP, OEM, or OH team, the OHPA provides medical services for both illness and injury prevention to employees. The OHPA’s primary focus will be on preventing occupational hazards from affecting individuals’ physical and psychological wellbeing. In order to adequately perform this role, it is necessary for the individual to possess certain competencies that are essential when managing cases related to work-related diseases or injuries (Klenck et al., 2020).
In particular, an OHPA requires:
(1) knowledge of general medical principles such as diagnosis and treatment;
(2) effective communication skills with both colleagues and patients;
(3) strong organizational skills in order to efficiently manage a large case load;
(4) experience working with occupational health regulations at federal, state, and local levels;
(5) ability to assess information accurately regarding work-related risks; (6) proficiency in researching labor laws concerning worker safety; (7) well-developed computer literacy skills in order for efficient record keeping.
By demonstrating these competencies along with additional qualifications required by employers specific job postings, an employee can effectively fill this role within any given workplace setting where occupational health services are provided (Wilson et al., 2019).
