About This Course:
Job descriptions help employees understand their roles and responsibilities - and how they can contribute to the organization's success.
Specifically, job descriptions provide clear guidelines for employees - as well as recruiters and job candidates - to understand the skills, traits, and responsibilities required to perform in the role and meet organizational goals. Essentially, job descriptions define what a person in a given position does, what are the functions performed, the performance expectations, responsibilities, and other requirements.
Though job descriptions universally help organizations to attract, retain, and run the business effectively, job descriptions often are the first document looked at in internal or legal disputes. Bottom line, a poorly-written job description provides little defense against claims of discrimination in the hiring, work, or promotion process.
So, with the average company needing several types of job descriptions, why not ensure your organization writes, reviews, and/or updates its job descriptions to both improve performance and remove potential liability?
