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

Page 4: Job Analysis project

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.

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

Page 10: Job Analysis project

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.

Page 12: Job Analysis project

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.

Page 13: Job Analysis project

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

Page 14: Job Analysis project

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,

Page 15: Job Analysis project

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

Page 16: Job Analysis project

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.
