Problems with Job
Descriptions 1. If poorly written, they provide little guidance to the jobholder. 2. They are not always updated as job duties or specifications change. 3. They may violate the law by containing specifications not related to job success. 4. They can limit the scope of activities of the jobholder, reducing organizational flexibility. © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 4–29
30.
Writing Clear and
Specific Job Descriptions • Create statements that: Are terse, direct, and simply worded; eliminate unnecessary words or phrases. Describe duties with a present-tense verb, the implied subject being the employee performing the job. Use “occasionally” to describe duties performed once in a while and “may” for duties performed only by some workers on the job. State the specific performance requirements of a job based on valid job-related criteria. © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. 4–30

Consensus decisions require finding a proposal that is acceptable to all team members, even if not the first choice of individual members. Common ground among ideas is sought. • Acceptance.

How to Request a Flexible Work Schedule You may be thinking, “My manager would never agree to a flexible work schedule.” But that’s not necessarily so. When valued employees make reasonable scheduling requests, managers often try to accommodate employee proposals. Here are some proven strategies for securing different types of flexible work hour arrangements. • Investigate. Look into similar arrangements others have made within your company or industry. Research company policy. Be realistic by providing a schedule that will fit the demands of your organization. • Be Professional. Treat your request as a business proposal. Be positive and assume a “can-do” attitude. • Be serious and present the proposal as a benefit to both you and your company. Present your idea as a “win-win” arrangement. • Write It Out. Submit your request for a flexible work hour arrangement in a well-organized, detailed written proposal. • Promote Yourself. Explain your value to your organization. Have others speak to your abilities— especially those in authority. Ask to be evaluated based on your quantity and quality of work rather than on the hours you actually spend on the job. • Anticipate Questions. Be prepared for potential problems and have specific answers on how to deal with these issues. For example, how you will communicate or coordinate with other © 2010 South-Western, a part of employees. Cengage Learning.Propose review dates tomanager. your new flexible schedule.
