Job Descriptions are the foundation for performance management in the workplace. Without strong, accurate job descriptions, employers and employees often find themselves evaluating performances with separate, undefined criteria. Below are a few statistics that show the importance of job descriptions and job postings for future performance management success:
- According to HRDive, 72% of hiring managers say they provide clear job descriptions while only 36% agree.
- GlassDoor reports that 96% of job seekers say it’s important to work for a company that embraces transparency.
- SHRM notes that a whopping three-quarters (74%) of companies in North America do NOT have effective performance management systems.
With 93% of North American companies citing performance management will/does drive organizational performance, it’s vital that companies large and small effectively implement accurate Job Descriptions to begin the performance management improvement process.
