As businesses are beginning to bounce back from not hiring for several months, it may be time to put out the help wanted sign. There’s a good chance job roles and responsibilities have shifted so it may be time to rewrite some job descriptions.

Why bother with job descriptions? According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, a job description helps attract the right candidates; describes the major areas of an employee’s position; and serves as an outline for job training and evaluation.

Keep in mind, though, job descriptions shouldn’t be written in stone. They should be flexible enough to account for changes in the company, employee growth and new opportunities. The SBA notes, “If inflexible, job descriptions will keep you and your employees from trying or learning new tasks within the job.”

Does your business take the time craft detailed job descriptions? Do you review those during an employee’s performance review?
