Job Descriptions

“For every minute spent organising, an hour is earned.”
Anonymous

Many business owners get caught up in the daily running of the business. They end up spending no time organising.

You should spend an hour and a half every day organising and planning your business. That’s what some successful entrepreneurs say.

This leads us to job descriptions.

Does every member of your team know exactly what they do in their job?

Have you ever had employees arguing about “whose job this is”?

A job description is not just a bullet-point list of the basic duties of a job.

It’s so much more than that.

A job description must be:

  • Detailed and thorough
  • Accurate
  • Easy-to-read and understand

Every function in your business must be owned by a specific employee.

Every procedure or system should be documented.

Imagine every team member knows his or her exact responsibilities.

When that happens, you have an efficient and productive business.

How We Do It

  1. First, we get to know how your business runs. We check your systems and how things are written down.
  2. We make a list of every job in your business.
  3. We interview the main people doing each job.
  4. We create easy-to-read (but very thorough) job descriptions for each person.
  5. We share these descriptions with you or the head of each team.
  6. We tweak and adjust until each description is just right.
  7. Together, we pick someone in your team (usually the HR manager) to handle these job descriptions.
  8. We teach that person how to keep the descriptions updated.
  9. We help turn these job descriptions into training guides for both current and new employees.
