Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A job analyst is responsible for developing job descriptions and conducting job evaluations to determine the essential duties and requirements for each position within the organization. This information is used to inform HR policies, such as compensation and benefits packages, but the primary responsibility of a job analyst is not designing or implementing these policies (A). Similarly, formulating compensation strategy and ensuring congruency with corporate objectives (B) is a higher-level responsibility that typically falls under the purview of HR managers or directors. While job analysts may contribute to compensation strategy development, it is not their primary responsibility. Finally, evaluating market data from similar organizations (C) may be part of a job analyst's duties, but it is not the primary responsibility.
