Human Resources Management

A job description is a written statement of the duties, responsibilities, required qualifications, and reporting relationships of a particular job. It’s based on information obtained through analyzing the job, an understanding of the competencies and skills required to accomplish needed tasks, and the needs of your organization to get things done.



The job description clearly identifies and spells out the responsibilities of a specific job. Where relevant, it also includes information about working conditions, physical demands, knowledge and skills needed, and relationships with other positions.



Adequately developed, the job description is a communication tool that contributes to your organization’s success.
