Are your jobs in disarray?

1. Do employees know and understand the duties and expectations of their jobs?
2. Are employees unsure where they fit in the organization?
3. Are employees aware of the job responsibilities of their peers or do they have incorrect preconceived notions?
4. Do employees make erroneous and negative assumptions about each other's role in the organization?
5. Is morale low due to this uncertainty and confusion?
6. Are there morale problems due to pay differentials between jobs?
   

Is the answer to any of these questions YES?

1. Is productivity negatively impacted?
2. Is this situation affecting your bottom line?
3. Is the situation getting worse?
4. Are you experiencing high turnover?

Well-written job descriptions clearly outline job duties and expectations and help resolve employee discontent associated with pay differentials between jobs. When job expectations and requirements are known by all employees, the guesswork and assumptions often made about the "worth" of each job in the organization are eliminated.
