Position Description – Customised (Standard)
Position (or Job) Descriptions provide clarity and guidance for employees and managers. They are valuable documents to assist employees productivity and confidence. Well written position descriptions identify the core aspects of a role, and the company defined expectations for employee success.
Position Descriptions are best when written to describe the role itself (not an individual) in consideration of the business needs, industry benchmarking, and realistic expectations.
How to use a Position Description?
Ideally, Positions Descriptions are part of a process, which best follows as being:
1) conduct a job analysis as preparation
2) write the Position Description for the role, and then
3) assess and define more specific performance expectations and development opportunities for the individual who is performing the role.
This means that while the Position Description doesn’t change unless the role itself does, the individual employee may be at one of various levels of capability and performance outlined in the when assigned the role. For example,
- initially the employee may start as learning the role, and therefore not meeting all the criteria outlined in the Position Description.
- over a reasonable period of time, the employee becomes more experienced and capable within the role, and therefore starts to consistently meet the documented expectations;
- until at some stage, the employee becomes fully proficient, always meets and may exceed the requirements in the document.
At each of these stages, your company may review the employee’s capability, performance, and productivity against the Position Description to ensure and adjust alignment in salary.
Also, Position Descriptions are helpful when recruiting to guide the hiring manager when advertising, interviewing, and selecting the successful candidate.
