Commonplace feature of job analysis (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banal

'commonplace' is the definition.
(I know that commonplace can be written as banal)

'feature of job analysis' is the wordplay.
'feature of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BANAL' is hidden within 'job analysis'.

(Other definitions for banal that I've seen before include "'Trite, time-worn (5)'" , "Stock" , "Tediously commonplace" , "Lacking originality" , "lacking interest?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
