07 Explain a benefit to a business that result from the use of the job enrichment. [3]

If one student have explained one benefit in good manner, use another benefit as KN so that we know of 2-3 well developed KN answers at the end. This would help attempting an 8 Marker.

(KN) Job enrichment gives employees more challenging tasks.
(APP) For example, If there is job enrichment in company A's employees, it would allow the employees to use a wider range of their skills.
(AN) This would boost employee motivation, which results in increased productivity, better quality work from employees and fewer mistakes.

Job enrichment involves expanding an employees role so they can plan and organize more of their work for example a retail business may allow sales staff to reorder stock instead of only serving the customers, this helps them develop new skills making the work force more adaptable and fexible meaning if any employee is absent the other can handle the job with little stress and make the business run smoothly.

job enrichment benefits businesses by improving its employees productivity.for eg a customer service representaive is given additional responsibilities of dealing w customer complaints as well as processing refunds.this way employees are empowered and can resolve issues faster as it requires less managerial oversight .this also leads to higher job satisfaction as they are given more chalenging tasks thus encouraging them to be more engaged in their work hence reducing the labour turnover rate of the business.

(KN)
A key benefit of job enrichment is higher employee motivation, which can improve effort and productivity.

For example, at Apple, a software engineer might not only code apps but also test them, give suggestions, and be involved in design decisions. This extra responsibility makes the employee feel trusted and more motivated to perform well.

(AN)
Motivated employees work harder and pay more attention to detail.
They take pride in their work, which improves the quality of products.

KN: Job enrichment means giving employees more responsibility, authority and challenging work.
APP: For example, a worker who is allowed to make decisions about their own work feels trusted.
AN: This increases employee motivation, which improves productivity for the business.

KN: It can allow the buisness to become more efficient

AN: Therefore this allows the business to introduce innovative ideas that help the buisness perform faster, become more intuitive and have better customer service (e.g. now the items will be easier to find for the customer) therefore allowing them to have an added value that they can charge on their products for convenience, therefore increasing the overall revenue alongside not having much (if any) increase in labour or production costs therefore improving profit margin aswell.
