WORK DESIGN REVIEW · Workflow idea

Understand which parts of a job need assistance, review, or human judgment.

For workforce planning or job redesign, use a job title and current task information to prepare a four-part map of routine work, oversight needs, restricted uses, and work that should remain people-led. Validate the analysis with people who do the job and current evidence; treat it as a discussion aid, never as a judgment of an individual’s value, performance, or employment prospects.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A job title, relevant task descriptions, and an approved research purpose

“Clarify where human judgment, oversight, or additional evidence is needed in a role.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps consultants, HR teams, and analysts structure a discussion about how routine tasks in a profession should be handled and where human oversight matters.

  1. Describe the role and its real work context

    Gather current task examples from workers rather than relying on a title alone.

  2. Compare tasks with current evidence

    Use dated, relevant references and note where evidence is weak or uncertain.

  3. Map assistance and oversight needs

    Separate routine support from tasks requiring close review, restriction, or human judgment.

  4. Review the map with affected workers

    Invite people who do the work to correct missing tasks, risks, and local context.

  5. Limit use to job-design discussion

    Do not use the assessment to score workers or make individual employment decisions.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A four-part task map with rationales, evidence notes, limitations, and worker review status.

Keep in mind

A role title alone cannot describe an individual’s work, local context, or expertise, and occupational research can be incomplete or outdated. Involve affected workers, cite current sources, protect personal information, and never use the map to make hiring, firing, pay, performance, or surveillance decisions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define a worker-centered purpose

Use the review to improve task design and support, not to assess individual employees.

Set evidence and recency standards

Require source dates, uncertainty notes, and a way to correct outdated assumptions.

Protect worker and workplace information

Avoid personal performance details and restrict access to approved reviewers.

Include worker and specialist review

Assign people with job knowledge and relevant professional expertise to validate findings.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
