This scenario centers on broadening a job by adding more tasks to the same role, giving someone a wider set of duties. That approach is called job enlargement, a horizontal expansion that combines fragmented tasks into one job to increase variety and meaning in repetitive work without changing the level of responsibility. It helps reduce monotony by making the day more varied. By comparison, job rotation involves moving a worker through different jobs to gain breadth of experience, and job design is the broader process of planning what a job should entail. So the term described is job enlargement.
