The analyses will be able to be used for purpose X, but human users will be able to use the analyses for that purpose. Consequently, you could rephrase the statement in this way:
Users will be able to update job descriptions and develop transitional work programs on the basis of these analyses.

@ TimLymington For someone who really regards himself engaged in a "holy duty to assist Americans and other ex-colonials in speaking (and thinking) clearly" this is a typical comment. To say about said analyses "they do not exist yet" is a glaring mathematical logic fallacy and the one who voted +1 for this "colonial master" comment must be also deluded by thinking he or she speaks and thinks better than any American or "ex-colonial" in this site!

@64soul. I am sorry you have no sense of humour. But if the analyses "will be able to be used" as opposed to being usable, they are still hypothetical. Before you accuse others of fallacies, it would be as well to be sure you understand the terms of argument.

Hi Gina, welcome to EL&U. I like your approach, but "help facilitate" is a tautology (facilitate is equivalent to help), and presumably the OP uses "will" to make the statement definitive rather than conditional (as implied by would). If you edit it to read "The analyses will facilitate...", I would happily upvote you! PS if you plan on making future contributions here (and I hope you do), I recommend reading our guidance on How to Answer, and take the EL&U Tour :-)

@Chappo: I see nothing necessarily wrong with "help facilitate"—somewhat pleonastic though it may well be. The topic here is English, not writing style.

The analyses will be able to be used for purpose X, but human users will be able to use the analyses for that purpose. Consequently, you could rephrase the statement in this way:
Users will be able to update job descriptions and develop transitional work programs on the basis of these analyses.
