are characterised by high financial and material investments which must be offset by corresponding requirements for the qualifications of the employees
-
change under the influence of the information society to multinational use of media
-
demand additional qualifications which could not and cannot be addressed by existing vocational training
-
are becoming increasingly more complex, connected with other workplaces and require more organisational knowledge
-
require more independence, self-initiative and increasingly cooperative learning and working.
Suggestions and hints for the use of the checklists:
-
The occupier of the workplace should be included in the analysis of the workplace.
-
Further methods should also be considered to gain information on the workplace to be analysed, such as: group discussions, appraisal interviews, interviews with external experts.
-
In addition to the workplace analysis, analyses of activities are frequently made to support the decision making process.
