Q What should I be prepared for?
A Job redesign involves restructuring the tasks, responsibilities and processes associated with a particular role, says Mr Aslam Sardar, chief executive of the Institute for Human Resource Professionals.
These changes are made to let the role match up with organisational goals, technological advancements or changing market conditions, he adds.
Ms Evelyn Chow, managing director of strategic human resources consultancy Decode HR, says job enrichment, job enlargement and job rotation are three common ways to redesign jobs.
She says job enrichment means expanding the scope of an employee's role and providing the employee with more tasks, and the authority needed to complete them.
Meanwhile, job enlargement involves adding on more relevant tasks, but is more limited and does not come with the additional authority vested through job enrichment.
Job rotation entails moving employees between different roles in a company.
Ms Chow says: "Job rotation gives them a broader perspective on how the company operates, gives them a better understanding of what their co-workers do, and provides them with a chance to expand their skill sets."
She notes that during challenging economic times, job redesign can help preserve jobs.
