Position Analysis Questionnaire

The Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) is a structured tool used by organizations to analyze and describe jobs. It consists of a series of standardized questions that focus on different aspects of a job, such as tasks, responsibilities, required skills, and work context. By answering these questions, employers can systematically understand what a job entails, compare different roles, and determine appropriate compensation or training needs. The PAQ helps ensure consistent job evaluations and supports effective workforce planning by providing a detailed, objective picture of job requirements across an organization.
