Organizational performance is the result of each and every employee’s performance towards the achievement of organizational objectives. Therefore, every employee will need to know exactly what he/she will have to do, and to do well, to support the organization. Job Analysis is the attempt at understanding what each employee does on daily, weekly, and monthly basis in order to support the organization’s goals. Also, supervisors need to know exactly what the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of their staff and colleagues are to be better able to work within an efficient team. Job Analyses give rise to Job Descriptions, which explain the consensus between the employee’s work and the organization’s expectations.
For your organizational success to continue, you need to ensure that your Job Descriptions are updated and well communicated in order to eliminate efforts that no longer serve the organization and/or to stop work duplication that wastes time and money. Also, Job Descriptions help you hire the most suitable talent, measure their performance, decide the required training programs, apply the needed safety measures, pay your employees based on compensable factors, and much more.
