A job description is essentially the compilation and recording of the important activities an employee carries out, the responsibilities, duties and demands, as well as the aim of the position and its incorporation into the organization of the business, together with what the job owner is expected to achieve.
Job descriptions determine the education, qualifications, skills, training, experience and particularities that each position demands in order for the job to be successfully carried out by the employee.
Why are job descriptions so important?
They help to improve the organization of the business.
They are useful when restructuring of positions is necessary in an economy that is increasingly changing due to socio-economic and technological developments.
ATTENTION: They clarify the hiring process – how situations vacant are advertised, for example – the attraction and selection of new employees.
IMPORTANT: They help to train staff.
They identify the ground on which the evaluation of employees is based.
They simplify decision-making as far as development of team members is concerned.
ATTENTION: You can even proceed subjectively to the planning of a payroll system.
