4 Reasons to Clean Up Your Job Description Closet

by Kathy Gromoll

Just as you periodically look at cleaning out your clothes closet and updating your wardrobe, you need to periodically take a look at your job descriptions at the workplace. And here are 4 reasons why:

Better organization:  You organize your closet so you can readily locate shoes, belts, pants, etc. You can also have all your job descriptions organized so that anyone on the team can quickly locate job duties, education and experience requirements, skills, and knowledge needed, as well as physical and mental requirements. This also helps provide a systematic, consistent approach for digitizing your job descriptions and recapturing data within the system.

Better fit:  Just as you may have clothes that no longer fit you, you may also have descriptions that no longer fit the job. It’s time to review and make sure each description reflects the job’s essential duties.  This will also help you in streamlining your recruiting process.

Better branding:  As you look for a custom piece of clothing that identifies who you are, why not look for that customized template that brands who your company is? When an applicant takes a look at your job description, does it look like your competition, or does it clearly identify with your company brand?

Better matches:  You look at your wardrobe to make sure you have clothes that match or complement each other. By having a template and similar layout, you can do a better job of comparing and ranking positions within your organizational structure.

So, the seasons are changing, and this is the perfect time to ask AustinPeopleWorks to help you clean-out your job description closet to get that fresh, new, and up-do-date look you deserve. Contact us – we’d be happy to help!
