Job Design
Jobs are designed to ensure that the work defined by the Strategy is carried out. And each job is also a strategic entity, aligned with the overall strategic design.
The format of the job description answers the same questions we use in developing the organization mission statement.
Good job design helps individuals understand their:
- Strategic position in the organization
- Specific deliverables - in plain language
- Interdependence with other jobs
- Critical success factors and competencies
Rochele Hirsch has created a format for documenting job responsibilities that has proven to enhance communication and understanding between managers and their people. These job descriptions support effective feedback, appraisals and succession planning.
Project teams and committees can also benefit by using this job description format to get clear about their mission and deliverables.
