The job analysis mainly involves the task and not the workers, but the information is obtained from the users about the work (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018). Discussion The primary step in the job analysis process is to identify the intent of the job analysis. The aim may be either to update the job description, to amend the compensation system, to modify the structure of the company, or to update the work of a particular department (Wyse & Babcock, 2018). After the target has been selected, the top management should be well informed, as changes can only be made to the organization with the support of the management. The category of workers to be evaluated would be chosen, be clerical roles, handle employees, different division duties, etc., after setting a goal (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018). The participants involved in the study are also listed, and the approaches to be used. The current job description is reviewed in its entirety in order for a fair understanding of the duties, responsibilities, organizational chart, working conditions, dangers, etc. in certain jobs to exist (Wyse & Babcock, 2018). The next action in the job analysis process is to carry out the job analysis or to start it. In this case, enough time should be allocated for the employees to collect the job details. The employee’s knowledge may be gathered through a sample, questionnaire, or assessment methods (Robinson-Morral et al., 2018). If the information is gathered, it must be organized according to the purpose, section, and branch. After this phase, a draft job detail and specifications are prepared by the job analyst. The changes that will be made to the jobs will be defined and written into paper after processing of the material. When the draft is written, the executives, subordinates, and staff will be notified. Regulation of job requirements and expectations is the final phase in the job analysis process, in which job descriptions are reviewed and updated in due time in accordance with the changing needs of the client (Wyse & Babcock, 2018). Conclusion The job analysis leads to job specifications and job description. The job description involves duties, obligations, working hours, etc. and the job specification relates to the expertise, experience, history, credentials, and communication abilities required for a particular job.

Whether a crisis or disaster is natural or man-made, effective communication strategies are needed no matter where it occurs. A great deal was learned about communication issues in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. After this disaster, thousands of residents in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana were without roads, electricity, or cell phone towers. Because of this, creative means of communication, both inside and outside the region, where needed. Agencies with satellite phones had no difficulty, but for most survivors, this was not a possibility—it was difficult to make phone calls both outside and inside the region. One means of communicating, however, was successful for many—text messaging. But, of course, this required a digital phone with texting capability, which not all had access to. In order to reach survivors who did not have this capability, four-wheel-drive vehicles or trucks were necessary because roads and bridges were destroyed. Transportation became a significant element of communication. Other less intense crises present communication issues as well. All crises involve an organizational plan that outlines how to communicate decisions and how to respond to the crisis. Media is almost always present, and they require communication that is rapid and accurate. Coombs (Crandall, Parnell, and Spillan, 2010) identifies the uses of communication strategies for the various stages and types of disasters. Note: Hurricane Katrina is referenced many times in this course because so much was learned from mistakes made during and after that crisis. Crisis responders and those in charge of planning for crises learn from each and every incident. For example, being sure to look out for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, is now a priority because 13,000 died during an extreme heatwave in France in August 2003. Every crisis and/or disaster offers an opportunity to reevaluate what worked and what needs improvement for the next incidence. To prepare for this assignment: Review Chapters 7 and 8 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, paying particular attention to the different considerations that should be taken during the beginning, middle, and end of a crisis. Also focus on the methods of establishing communications with various populations during a crisis. Review Chapter 6 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, and focus on how the telephone and the internet can be utilized as alternative forms of communication during a crisis. Review the article, “The Northridge Earthquake: Community-Based Approaches to Unmet Recovery Needs.” Focus on populations whose needs were not met and think about how various communication strategies and community organizations might have resolved those unmet needs. Review the article, “Natural Disasters that Reveal Cracks in Our Social Foundation,” and pay particular attention to suggestions and considerations for crisis planning. Review the article, “Crisis Management in Real Time: How to Successfully Plan for and Respond to a Crisis,” and think about the role of crisis communication plans and crisis management teams in the management of a crisis. The assignment: (2-3 pages) Briefly describe alternative systems of and strategies for communication that might be used during a crisis when normal lines of communication are unavailable. Then evaluate which systems and/or strategies might be most effective and explain why. Briefly describe the vulnerable populations that may need to be reached during a crisis. Then explain potential strategies for reaching and communicating with these populations.

The budget is a crucial piece in the logical progression of developing your proposal. Look back at the other key components—needs statement, objectives, goals, methodology, and evaluation—and consider how these pieces must be represented in and supported by the budget. One can see why a funding reviewer might begin by looking at a budget. It should fully, clearly, and succinctly depict the story of the project. The budget narrative expands upon the line items of a budget, offering a further explanation of costs and needs, as appropriate. A sustainability plan explains to funders how you will continue a project after funding has been exhausted. Not only does this plan demonstrate a proactive stance toward your project, but it also provides a funder assurance that its interests will be served beyond the project timeframe. In preparation for this Discussion, consider the components of your project that you have determined to this point. Review this module’s Learning Resources that focus on the budget, budget narrative, and sustainability plan. Note: You may select one of the two budget formats for your Discussion post: the budget example on pp. 162–163 or use the Sample Budget Worksheet on p. 328 as a guide to developing your budget. https://www.homeworkmarket.com/files/e057ca2fa0d3cd02645221163087d7fc-docx-6234905
