Introduction

For an organization to operate effectively, roles and responsibilities must be clearly established. The Job Description outlines the expectation required of a particular job and acts as a management tool that helps to increase individual and organizational effectiveness.

With the ever competitive business environment, it is increasingly important to incorporate the competency component when preparing the Job Description; thus it is important that both Line Managers and HR practitioners are equipped with the required knowledge and skills.

In the event of termination due to poor performance, job description can serve as a back-up documentation as it will be easier to highlight exactly where the employee's performance does not meet the requirement. A job description is also an excellent tool to measure any performance shortcoming or area where an employee exceeds expectations.
