How to Develop A Great Job Description

Your goal in hiring is to find the brightest, most competent, multifaceted employees possible. A job description helps successful recruiting in several ways.

 

Job descriptions help articulate the most important outcomes for a specific job function and communicate to others where their job leaves off and the job of another starts. They tell an employee how their job fits within the department and the overall company and help employees from other departments understand the boundaries of the person's responsibilities. Finally, job descriptions are an integral part of the performance development plan.

 

Use these steps to develop your job description.

Business on a Budget

The Cost of Hiring Employees

 


 

There are a lot of costs involved with hiring employees.


 

External costs can include outside expenditures related to recruiting such as advertising costs, job fair costs, recruiting travel costs. Internal costs include salary and benefits of recruiting team, cost of the physical infrastructure, screening costs and a talent acquisition system.

 

Accomplish just as much and cut expenditures. Outsource.

Employee Grief & Bereavement

Who does an employee call when tragedy enters? The boss.

 

Companies approach employee grief and sorrow in different ways. As the employer, you cannot broadcast this confidential information without permission. It is important to ask permission to alert other employees.

 

These ideas will help you choose an appropriate way to express sympathy.

Would You Rehire a Fired Employee?
Recently, a reader wrote to asked one of my favorite HR bloggers, Susan Heathfield, her point of view on the employers' perspective to rehire someone whom they fired. The reader asked.

 

"Do you have any posts or details on this subject? Specifically, are employers concerned that there would be resentment among the staff? What about internal politics? How would the employer be 'viewed'for  rehiring a fired employee? Is this a problem?"
