Excellent Job Design. A Handbook for Recruiting Managers and HR Professionals

There has never been a more important time to ensure that jobs are well-designed.

In the face of unprecedented change and continuous uncertainty, there has grown the idea that job descriptions constrain flexibility and responsiveness. In fact these important attributes are achieved by the rigorous definition of job contribution, boundaries and freedom of decision-making.

This handbook provides the framework and templates to enable the design of jobs in two clear steps. It will help recruiting managers better define the job, ensure a correct match with the jobholder and manage performance.

The material in this handbook enables the HR Director to take on a new role; that of The Chief Job Architect.
