Job Descriptions

Job descriptions are lists of the general functions, responsibilities and outcomes required of a position. Typically, they also include to whom the position reports, specifications such as the qualifications needed by the person in the job and the salary range for the position.  They are a critical resource for managing the performance of employees and are necessary for effective and consistent hiring, compensation, and performance management and review. 

We will take your existing job information and write formalized job descriptions you can use for performance assessment or to hire new employees. We will work with you to document clearly the work and results required of your people and develop job descriptions that supervisors can use to motivate staff to higher performance, enable the achievement of unit results and provide a basis for fair and equitable compensation.  We provide services in organizational structure consultation, job/work analysis, tool/template design, project planning and all phases of the job description development i.e. work/outcomes analysis, template design, and the writing and validation of job descriptions.

We will:

• Meet with you to define your strategic business requirements.
• Develop a process that enables the gathering of accurate information, and participation and communication that builds commitment to change.
• Develop a process that defines job factors that are valued by the organization and identifies benchmark jobs.
• Gather data through questionnaire and interview and develop draft descriptions for review and validation.
• Design a template that will meet the specific needs of your organization and the purposes for which you will be using the job descriptions. (if required)
• Design new jobs to meet business requirements.
