A well defined Job Description is well worth the time it takes to craft one up.  If properly written, it will give clarity to why the job exists, what is the purpose of the position and what is expected from the job holder.  One of the common reasons for employee turnover is dissatisfaction due to unclear job functions or demarcation.  Job Descriptions that are well written will help highlight job disparities, duplication of accountabilities and pay imbalance if any.    

A Job Description is a necessary and key tool in pricing jobs.  It is used to evaluate the job to determine the monetary worth of each job.  It is also a good aid in the recruitment process as it will give potential employees a good overview of the job content and expectation.  It allows candidates to think about their own abilities or skill sets and assess whether these fit with the job they have applied for.

Well composed Job Descriptions will help managers monitor and navigate employees’ performance to ensure that they are on track in meeting personal and company goals.
