TEXT 2. JOB DESCRIPTION & STRATEGIC PLAN
Writing a job description is a process of systematically collecting, analyzing, and documenting the important facts about a job. A strategic plan is composed of a mission statement, identified goals related to the organization's mission, and strategic initiatives necessary to accomplish each goal. Assignment of responsibility for the accomplishment of goals and strategic initiatives is related to the essential functions of the job description.
Before a job vacancy is advertised, a job description is completed. After the employee is hired, this job description becomes the job assignment and forms the basis of the job function description on the Performance Evaluation Form.
This process of writing a job description is called job analysis. The job description provides a basis for job-related selection procedures and performance standards.
The job description specifies:
■ the specific job functions and tasks
■ the functions and tasks which are essential
■ the percentage of time typically spent performing each function
■ the skills, knowledge and abilities required to perform the job successfully
■ the physical and mental requirements of the position
■ special conditions of employment
■ the level of supervision received and exercised.
The performance manager should deliver the job description to the employee during his or her first few days on the job.
Strategic Plan
A strategic plan is composed of a mission statement, identified goals related to the organization's mission, as well as strategic initiatives necessary to accomplish each goal. The mission statement describes the fundamental reason why the organization or department exists. The goals identify the results, which will further that mission. Strategic initiatives set out the specific steps, which must be taken to achieve those results. Strategic planning is a dynamic process, which is usually revisited at intervals of between one to two years.
Individual employees will each make a contribution to the realization of goals and may be responsible for accomplishment of specific strategic initiatives in support of those goals. To ensure that initiatives are completed, those responsible for particular strategic initiatives are usually named and due dates specified.
Performance managers consider the annual goals and strategic initiatives for which the employee has responsibility when describing the position, set standards of work performance, give feedback about performance, make the annual performance appraisal, and plan for employee education, training and development.
