5 Mistakes Everyone Makes with Job Descriptions and How to Avoid Them

Job descriptions have traditionally suffered a poor reputation among managers and human resources professionals. In fact, job descriptions often end up being ignored—left at the bottom drawer of a file cabinet, neglected, and rapidly becoming obsolete. Why? It takes time and considerable effort to create and maintain a job description program. It means that someone must be responsible for the program—i.e., it’s got to be part of someone’s job description.

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. This report highlights the five mistakes most commonly made when dealing with job descriptions, and it gives useful tips and tactics on how to avoid mistakes and make your job descriptions a valuable tool in HR management.

Mistake #1: Mismanaging the Job Description Program

Mistake #2: Missing Critical Elements of a Job Description

Mistake #3: Failing to Accurately Describe the Job

Mistake #4: Failing to Use Job Descriptions Correctly (or Not Using Them at All!)

Mistake #5: Forgetting Format, Organization, and Grammar
