Executive Summary
A job that needs to be further analyzed is the Custodial Department at Central Michigan
University. In the Custodial Department there is a management positions and entry level
positions. Custodians are also separated even further from Residential Buildings to Academic
Buildings. The department is then broken up by location on campus. More specifically for the
custodians that Xavier and I were evaluating, we decided to assess participants within one
location and apply those results to all residential custodial employees on campus. We examined
three different workers from the North campus area (Larzelere, Barnes, Calkins, Trout, and
Robinson) who each have a specific building within in North Campus.
Our goal was to create a job analysis that would describe what essential skills need to be
identified when hiring a worker for this position, what the duties of this position entails, and
what new changes needed to be made from the previous job analysis. We interviewed our SMEs
through face-to-face interaction and met with each one together, then separately, which made it
two different occasions. The first time we met with the individuals it was during their lunch
break in a common break room. After we stayed to have them visually show us what some of
their daily task consisted of. The second time we met with each person it was individually and on
their break time. During that interview we asked each person the same 15 questions that
discussed their job and the responsibilities they are required to meet.
After we met with them we asked if they could fill out a survey that we made online and
then sent it to them through email. This survey helped us classify the most important task and to
create a job analysis that ensures a sufficient hiring process. So overall the 15 question interview
and the survey helped in the final process, determining what the job analysis entails for the
Custodial position.
Company and Position Overview
Central Michigan University has the slogan, “Put your Stamp on the World” which
means the institution's goal is to build an “inclusive community of scholars...” who move
forward, grow from opportunities presented, and take learned experiences to pursue their
passions. Since the school's establishment in 1892 Mount Pleasant, Michigan, the University has
grown to 27,452 students statewide, while including 19,634 students that are on the main
campus. The campus has 20 residential buildings, 11 academic buildings, Park Library, The
Bovee University Center, Student Activity Center, McGurk Arena, and etc. that need to be
looked after.
Mission Statement
“At Central Michigan University, we are a community committed to the pursuit of knowledge,
wisdom, discovery, and creativity. We provide student-centered education and foster personal
and intellectual growth to prepare students for productive careers, meaningful lives, and
responsible citizenship in a global society” (University Mission, 2010).
Core Values
“To achieve our mission, we adhere to the core values of integrity, respect, compassion,
inclusiveness, social responsibility, excellence and innovation” (University Mission, 2010).
Job Description
The job description gives an overview of detailed information about what type of task is
needed to be accomplished on the job. Having a job description not only allows for the ease of
evaluation, but aids in the hiring process and in determining how well an individual is meeting
the listed requirements for the job and our hope is that Central Michigan University utilizes our
reevaluated job analysis. Each building at the university requires at least one custodian to work
there. This position would work for a university that takes pride in all employees working within
the university, provides the employees with the best training, and is using environmentally
friendly cleaning products.

Job Analysis Summary
The reason that we chose the Custodial Department at Central Michigan University is
because we thought it would be different than any other person in the class and also over the past
three years living in North Campus we got to know our custodians really well. They are always
polite and asking about our days that we wonder what is really asked of them in their job
responsibilities as a Central Michigan University employee. We chose to stick with the North
Campus Custodians because we already have a connection with them and it would make it easier
for us to find times to meet with them face-to-face. Also there are five North Residential
Buildings and six custodians that work up here full-time. We chose three subject matter experts
(SME’s) each from a different building and different backgrounds of how they came to Central
Michigan University. When we choose what custodians to do we made sure that they had five or
over five years of time at Central, we made sure they were all in different buildings, and that they
all were going to be completely honest during the interview process.
Subject Matter Experts
1. Darla Clark: Has been working at Central Michigan University for 27 years in the
Custodial Department. She has been moved around between buildings, but for the past
almost three years she has been located in North Campus. She has received her high
school diploma and has taken some college classes. Darla enjoys working in the
Residential Buildings rather than the Academic Buildings because she enjoys the hours
and the homey atmosphere that is provided.
2. Deb Weaver: Has been working here for five years and three months. Her husband also
works in the Custodial Department at Central, but 3rd shift and in academic buildings.
She got her GED in 1980 and then from there owned a restaurant before selling it to her
nephew and then coming to work for CMU. She chose the position of North Campus
manly because it is 1st shift and she thought her husband was going to have a 1st shift
position as well, he has only been here for one year though.
3. Chris Baxter: Has been working for Central Michigan University for five years now. He
began this job as a temp and moved around each building, where ever he was needed or if
someone would call in sick he would do their building for the day. He also graduated
high school and took some college classes. He was in a temp position for 6 months doing
custodial work in all the terrace floors of North Campus after that Chris was offered the
full-time position in Calkins.
Each one of the SME interviews we gave with the questions and the answers are found in
Appendix A. The fact that they all had come from different backgrounds previous to Central
Michigan University and had different travels on how they came to North Campus helped a lot
with the ability to make a task list and a list of describing what kind of knowledge and abilities
you need before you get the job. Another way that it benefits the help of creating a job analysis is
the fact that it helps us on how much they have a voice within the company and making sure that
the employees needs are being met as well as the universities.

The combination of knowledge, skills, abilities, and other requirements creates the ideal
employee characteristic that the custodian department looks for when seeking potential
candidates and in current faculty members. The characteristics presented under the job
description header also came from an integration of interviewing the participating SMEs, the
survey, and the O*NET website. The survey we used can be found in Appendix B as a blank one
and in Appendix C you will find each SME’s results. We used three different performance
appraisal methods to help decide which tasks were most important and had to be done on a daily
basis rather ones that could just be done on a weekly basis. These characteristic will help the
overall decision on who will be most successful in the position of Custodian if we were to hire
new staff or evaluate current employees.
Survey
In the survey we took the 22 tasks and asked each SME to rank them into four
different categories. The categories we used were: importance of the task (how important do you
think each task is for this position?), frequency of the task (how frequent are each of these tasks
being completed), performance of the task (how critical to the performance of the person doing
the task is each one), and time spent on the task (how would you rate the amount of time spent
on each). Each category was rated on a scale of one to five, one being most important to five
being least. When we received the results back from each SME we took the time to create the
most efficient task list that related to each custodian’s surveys, the 15 questions, and the
information we got from the O*NET. The use of the survey helped us in accurately defining the
position specifics. The surveys that the SME’s took are located in Appendix C.
Results
Since we had four categories in our surveys we had to find the statistical means and
standard deviation for each criteria so that we would be able to find what tasks are considered
most important and then go down the list. Finding the mean and the standard deviation to the
importance of each task, frequency of how often you do each task, how well the performance of
each task is being evaluated, and the time spent on the task will help with the insight into the
recruitment and selection procedure. This evaluation can also help with what training materials
are need or supplies that are most used or not used. In these equations we are looking to find the
lowest mean closest to one which means most important and the lowest standard deviation at
zero meaning that all the custodial participants agree. Listed below you will find the lowest
means and a zero standard deviation of each category. This will show which tasks are most
important in each section.
Importance:
For the importance section we had seven of the tasks that all have the same mean of one
and the standard deviation of zero. This explains that these tasks are most important and it is all
agreed upon by the staff.
Operates Mechanical cleaning, Scrubbing Equipment, Sweeps, mops, strips, and waxes floor
surfaces, operates vacuum cleaning equipment, Cleans restrooms and replenishes restroom
supplies, Makes beds and changes linens in guest rooms, Collects and disposes of waste
materials, and Sweeps and wet-mops stairs and stairwells.
Frequency:
The frequency section shows just how much the custodians agree on which tasks should
be done on a daily basis
Sweeps, mops, strips, and waxes floor surfaces and Collects and disposes of waste materials.
Performance:
This was section of the survey described how much the individual was going to be graded
on the performance part of the task.
Operates mechanical cleaning, Collects and disposes of waste materials, Makes beds and
changes linens in guest rooms, and Sweeps and wet-mops stairs and stairwells.
Time:
The results of this were to find out how much time it took to spend on a task. We will
give you the information on what was the quickest task to accomplish. I realize there may be a
fault in this part of the survey because the custodian taking the survey could have viewed it on
how often they do the task, like daily or monthly, or an overall how long does it take them to do
the task. These are the results we found.
Operates mechanical cleaning, and Sweeps, mops, strips, and waxes floor surfaces.
Appropriate uses for Job analysis information conducted
A job analysis of any and every job is especially important to the HR department because it helps
HR find the perfect person for the right job. Based on the results from the SME’s, we were able
to conclude that the information from the data presented can help in job selecting employees.
The data can also make use of other HR functions that are vital to an organization by findings
valuable workers who will efficiently execute task in order to obtain a cohesive work
environment. Using the popular task in the survey questions, we can accurately target specific
demographic through recruiting avenues and cut back on the latency that would happen without a
job analysis. Operating mechanical cleaning, scrubbing equipment… moping and waxing floors,
and having the ability to be able to work around residents and the Hall Director and these are the
qualities a person for this position should have. In addition to being a good recruiting tool, you
could also use the data for train, strengthen, and develop for the required job. Because the
analysis shows which task are more important than others, they could take the measures of
investing more time into training their employees for these task, such as bringing in a person
who specialize in teaching the important task or workshops to help the department produce high
productivity.
Conclusion
A job analysis states and documents all of the surrounding components the of an ideal
relationship between the organization and its employees. Establishing a strong relationship
requires a department head to follow through with training, selection, and performance appraisal.
Using these elements is critical to obtaining and maintaining employees that fit the qualifications
of the job. Although being part of the custodian department does not require formal
qualifications, having at least a high school diploma is essential. The basic educational skills
such as arithmetic, reading, and administrative work skills are needed to excel in this position.
Having a high school diploma would show the university that you are able to demonstrate these
tasks’ if selected.
When interviewed, the participants said that they go through training twice a month to
ensure that they know which products are environmentally friendly, as well as to gain knowledge
about OSHA law and regulation on safety and health procedures. Training for tasks that require
employees to maintain machines, such as floor buffers, usually consist of new custodians
working with a more experienced colleague until the the new custodian is able to perform these
task on their own. The overall results found during this study are the recognition that the
custodial staff has a lot more responsibility than may be known. Although a high school diploma
will get you the job, there are many other skills required for the job to be done efficiently. One
thing that the we learned from the participants is that the job is a lot more than cleaning up
buildings. Knowledge of health procedures as well as environmentally friendly cleaning supplies
are key, and the relationships one builds with the residents as well as the resident life staff makes
the position worthwhile.
