Functional Job Analysis/Functional Job Description
The IWS Functional Job Analysis (FJA) is a comprehensive, structured process to identify and quantify the physical components of jobs.

A FJA results in 3 principal end-products:

Our Functional Job Description (FJD), developed from a thorough Functional Job Analysis (FJA), catalogs the activities and physical functional demands of specific jobs. It is validated for compliance with American with Disabilities Act (ADA), Canadian Human Rights legislation, and other international anti-discrimination laws.
