Well-prepared job descriptions embody information that can be
useful in all the classical functions of management: planning,
organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. In short, it is a practical,
relatively simple tool, that supports personnel management and
employee communication everyday. The “position specification” or
better known as the job description is squared one of the hiring
process and leads to the hiring of the right candidates.
The need for effective human resource management is not specific to
any organisation, some local regulations may call attention to the
importance of current, complete and correct job descriptions. Accurate
job descriptions can be very useful when an employee, applicant
or government agency wishes to hire good personnel. In some
cases job descriptions may even prove useful in the event that
disputes arise between the employer and the employee in an organisation.
Although written job descriptions are helpful in keeping management
practices consistent with local rules and regulations, the may
not necessarily be required by the organisation or by the national
laws and regulations. Probably the most substantial benefits of job
descriptions are realized through better management decisions and
employer-employee relations.
