Job descriptions are written statements that describe the duties, responsibilities, required qualifications and reporting relationships of a particular job.
A job description assists organisations to delegate tasks and responsibilities successfully without duplication or gaps between the different positions within an organisation.
Benefits of implementing well developed Job Descriptions:
- set clear expectations about requirements for and outcomes of positions
- assist HR in finding the right match between applicants and the position
- ensuring that the organisation has the capacity to meet the vision and mission
