Are your jobs in disarray?

• Do employees know and understand the duties and expectations of their jobs?
• Are employees unsure where they fit in the organization?
• Are employees aware of the job responsibilities of their peers or do they have incorrect preconceived notions?
• Do employees make erroneous and negative assumptions about each other's role in the organization?
• Is morale low due to this uncertainty and confusion?
• Are there morale problems due to pay differentials between jobs?

Is the answer to any of these questions YES?

• Is productivity negatively impacted?
• Is this situation affecting your bottom line?
• Is the situation getting worse?
• Are you experiencing high turnover?

Well-written job descriptions clearly outline job duties and expectations and help resolve employee discontent associated with pay differentials between jobs. When job expectations and requirements are known by all employees, the guesswork and assumptions often made about the "worth" of each job in the organization are eliminated.

You need job descriptions for the following reasons:

• The job description clarifies what the role of the job is and what the incumbent is expected to accomplish while performing the job. This is particularly important for an effective performance evaluation process.
  
  
• It forms the groundwork for an agreement between the supervisor and the incumbent as to the expected job performance results. This is particularly important for an effective performance evaluation process and monetary decisions that relate to performance.

• The job description is a formal method of communicating work planning and feedback. This can help an organization identify areas of weakness of an incumbent and focus training efforts in these areas.
  
  
• Provides a clear, written expectation of performance and skills required, a definite asset for wrongful termination lawsuits or claims of prejudice and/or discrimination.
  
  
• It provides the reader with a clear understanding of the job's scope and nature. This is particularly valuable for recruiting as potential employees can obtain a clear understanding of the job during the interview. This allows potential candidates to determine whether the job is right for them, which in turn saves the organization valuable time and resources.
  
  
• A database of well-written job descriptions provides the Director, as well as co-workers with an understanding and appreciation for the how the job contributes to the achievement of the organization's goals.
  
  
• A database of well-written job descriptions provides the organization with solid legal backing with respect to any decisions made that relate to the job(s).
  
  
• Forms the basis for an effective system of job evaluation. By describing the functions of each job, an organization can then determine the relative "value" of the position for the purposes of establishing salary, and/or a salary range to a position
