Managers are asked to write job descriptions every day--this book explains how to do the job right. Every job has a description--but if it's poorly written (or not written at all), a company can face all sorts of problems, from low employee morale to legal troubles.
The Job Description Handbook is an all-in-one resource anyone can use to create HR documents that provide details on every job's duties, requirements, qualifications--and much more. The book covers:
- the advantages of creating job descriptions
- how job descriptions fit into the broader employment picture
- how to write a great job description
- legal traps to avoid
- how to "troubleshoot" a description
The Job Description Handbook also provides checklists, worksheets, resources, sample language and step-by-step instructions that employers can use for creating job descriptions that will work in the real world. The CD-Rom also provides a special PowerPoint presentation on writing job descriptions.
