Writing Job Descriptions That Work: A Step by Step Guide

One of the most important components of any organisation's human resources system is a job description that is written effectively. Not only does it detail the essential responsibilities and qualifications that are required for a particular role, but it also sets the culture of the business and the expectations that are expected of employees. From this perspective, a job description has immediate implications for the organisation in a variety of different ways. This includes having an effect on choices about employment, performance at work, and general productivity across the board. This essential course will provide participants with hands-on training that will guide them through the process of completing a job analysis and establishing a job description that is both functional and legally sound.
