Writing job descriptions

A job description defines a person's role and accountability

and without a job description it would be extremely difficult

for a person to properly commit to, or be held accountable

for, a role.

Slide 7

Job description language

Job description language is very specific and needs to be

carefully used. The wrong message can be communicated

if inappropriate language or vocabulary is incorporated into

the work outline. The list given provides some ideas about

the type of language to use. Look at the Front Desk

Manager example in your Trainee Manuals and check the

language with the points form the job description language

ideas. Is it a clear job description?

1.2 Read applications for employment and judge against key selection criteria and desirable criteria

explain who the applicant is

remind the employer what they are looking for

briefly describe qualifications and experience

describe what the applicant is looking for

be simple but aligned with the type of job being applied for

reflect the organisation’s culture

Procedures

Before trying to explain a procedure it is important that a supervisor:

Understands the procedure

Understands clearly all of the language included in the procedure and how to explain this language if a staff member is not sure

Checks that the staff member is clear about the procedure before they engage in delivery of the procedure

Slide 14

Element 1 Summary

Recruiting employees that can complete their job tasks

effectively is an important part of a supervisor’s role. Writing job

descriptions is a necessary skill to learn in English as many

organisations write all of their HR documents in English. Being

able to determine suitably qualified people for job roles is equally

as important and it is essential that a supervisor can explain

company policies and procedures to all staff in order for them to

be able to work effectively.

How to give a performance review of an employee

Performance reviews are among the most valuable resources in

a manager’s toolbox, yet many managers don’t know how to

give a performance review of an employee. Here are 12 do's

and don'ts to help you create a positive and productive

experience.

Slide 29

3.2 Write constructive comments related to employee’s work performance using a staff appraisal form

Slide 30

Writing comments regarding staff performance is often a

daunting experience. It is important to remember that staff need

honest and direct feedback to be able to improve or adjust their

behaviour or work. All comments relating to staff performance

should be constructive and directed at improving performance

not as personal attacks on a person’s character. Comments

should be practical and related to actual evidence rather than

general ideas or perceptions.

Writing comments for staff appraisal’s

Ideas for appraisals:

Give honest, constructive criticism

Encourage discussion about the review

End on a positive note
