Job Description Handbook, The

Everything you need to define the job, step by step Every job has a description -- and if you craft it carefully, you can use a job description for effective hiring, new employee orientation, evaluating performances, discipline and plan for future growth.

• evaluate an employee's job performance
• plan for your company's future needs
• avoid legal traps
• troubleshoot a description.
  

The book also provides checklists, worksheets, resources, sample language and step-by-step instructions that you can use to create job descriptions that will work in the real world.
