Job Demand Analysis

Detailed evaluation of physical, cognitive, and environmental requirements of each role — helping you match work demands with employee capabilities for safety and performance.

Understand the physical, cognitive, and environmental requirements of every role

Employees perform at their best when their work demands match their capabilities. Mismatches can lead to fatigue, injury, decreased productivity, and operational challenges.
At Gowan Consulting, our Occupational Therapists conduct thorough Job Demands Analyses to evaluate the physical, cognitive, and environmental requirements of each position. This assessment identifies risks, informs accommodations, and supports employee health, safety, and performance.

We provide actionable insights and recommendations that help organizations design safe, efficient, and sustainable work environments, reduce injury risk, and ensure compliance with occupational health and safety standards. Our analyses are applicable across corporate, industrial, healthcare, and hybrid work settings, helping employees succeed while minimizing workplace strain.
