Better Job Descriptions
Had an outstanding session with a client today. We worked to create a new job description. This isn’t simply listing what they do. It involves what they are accountable for, what is most important, what is the perecent time breakdown for the job, etc. Then, using an online battery of assessments we create an objective benchmark for the job.
It was interesting as we talked how many times we needed to address whether the job required a duty and should that be explicitly stated or implicitly known. I prefer explicit instructions to implicit hints when it comes to a job description.
Take a look at the job descriptions in your organization and make sure that what you expect your people to accomplish is explicity stated.
