Some employers think of job descriptions only in terms of wage and salary administration, or as a necessary evil when it comes to complying with certain employment laws. But these are only two of the many practical uses for job descriptions. Job descriptions are central to hiring, compensation, and appraisals (not to mention avoiding lawsuits).
BLR has now released its collection of over 700 job descriptions on CD, in a program called Smart Jobs. That's cause for celebration—now your job descriptions are a click away from being done. These are descriptions you can depend on. Our collection has been constantly refined and updated over time, with descriptions revised or added each time the law, technology, or the way business is done changes.
Once vested with the responsibility of either creating or maintaining a job description program, many HR professionals fall victim to the pitfalls that job descriptions present. Let BLR's SmartJobs guide the way by helping you dodge the mistakes most commonly made when dealing with job descriptions, while providing useful tips and tactics that will make your job descriptions a valuable tool in HR at your company.
