Workplace Application:
You will learn the importance of creating job descriptions using an integrated, holistic, and cyclical approach that supports your performance management and talent management strategies with a focus on alignment with your organization’s goals.
Best practices indicate the importance of considering a competency-based approach to job analysis and job documentation. However, most job descriptions focus on tasks and responsibilities rather than on the effect that the incumbent in the position has on the performance of the organization. Job analysis and documentation should be a cyclical process, and competencies within the job description should flow smoothly as part of a holistic effort to support talent management and development, performance management, and compensation administration. This presentation will provide an overview of:
- Integrated and holistic models of job analysis and documentation.
- Effective job description formats.
- Content writing best practices.
- How to use job descriptions to drive performance alignment and establish performance goals.
