We get this question often.  There are too many reasons to list here, but a few of the critical ones:

• Job Descriptions are the perfect way to ensure you are managing,  hiring, promoting and terminating your employees.  They describe the duties, responsibilities, required qualifications, physical requirement and working conditions of a particular job.
• Job descriptions also ensure you are hiring employees fairly and consistently based on experience and key competencies/skills needed.  This is critical not only for ensuring compliance, but also for when you are conducting performance reviews or promoting employees into new positions.
• Finally, they are important because they send the message to your employees that you want to be fair and consistent about their employment with your organization.
