Human Resources Continuing Education Program, The Humble Job Description: The Workhorse of the Workplace

The humble job description is not sexy, but a well-written one is the workhorse of the workplace. It's more than just a document that tells your employee the job they need to do; it's like the Swiss Army Knife of foundational HR documents. Our experience shows that many employers take shortcuts when it comes to drafting their job descriptions, but this critical document to every job in the organization offers an employer a level of protection and guidance in multiple areas of the employment relationship. From analysis to performance discussions, and from training to difficult discussions, the job description is arguably the most important document you must have as an employer. BONUS: You'll learn how the job description can make interviews and performance reviews easier!
