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.

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.
