Job Description: Frequently Asked Question

Why must I give employees a job description when they know what they should be doing, and when you do, they won't do anything else?

We believe job descriptions form the basis of an effective performance management system. Employees need to get feedback if they are meeting expectations or not. If you did not give the job description it would be difficult to argue and prove that there was no misunderstanding. To prevent them from only wanting to do what is on the job description, my advice would be to focus on their strong points and let them choose their additional tasks or responsibilities.
