JOB ANALYSIS & JOB DESCRIPTIONS
A job description should always be an integral part of your employment agreement and should be attached as a separate schedule at the end of the agreement document. A well defined job description will make not only your life easier, but your Employees’ life easier too. When your Employees know and understand exactly where their tasks and responsibilities start and finish then there will never be cause for confusion.
A good job description does not have to be a huge document. It can be simple and concise. As long as it is clearly understood by all parties concerned it will work for everyone.
If your Employees understand exactly what it is that they are there to do and what responsibilities and accountabilities they have then they will be able to work at a greater efficiency rate. How many times have you talked to an employee about a task that hasn’t been done only to find that he or she didn’t know it was their responsibility? It is a very common occurrence and if your team does not have clearly defined roles then there is a high possibility that things aren’t going to get done.
Job descriptions are available online in the Employers Toolbox website , and are included in the Job Descriptions Creator Software ,
both are available free to Employer Support Package Members.
