how to gather information in Human Resources

Posted by zonan | Posted in ,

1.Questionnaires – the questionnaire is a widely used method of gathering data on jobs. The questionnaire method offers a major advantage in that information on a large number of jobs can be collected inexpensively in a relatively short period of time
2.Interviews – the interview method of gathering information requires a manager or an HR specialist to visit each job site and talk with the employees performing each job. A standardized form is used most often to record the information. Frequently, both the employee and the employee’s supervisor must be interviewed to obtain a complete understanding of the job.
3.Observation – with the observation method, a manager, job analyst or industrial engineer observes the individual performing the job and takes notes to describe the tasks and duties performed. One types of observation, work sampling, does not require attention to each detailed action throughout an entire work cycle.
4.Logs/diaries – another method requires employees to observe their own performances by keeping a diary/log of their job duties, noting how frequently those duties are performed and the time required for each one.
