My heart goes out to all of you who are dealing with this every day out there working in the trenches. Even with samples and lists of duties from hiring managers, job descriptions are time consuming and a pain. But, significant reasons exist for the use of job descriptions that are significant much longer than the time it takes to develop them.
The process of developing a job description helps you articulate the most important outcomes you need from an employee performing a particular job. A job description is also a communication tool that tells coworkers where their job leaves off and the job of another starts.
A well-written job description tells an employee where his or her job fits within the overall department and the overall company. Well-written job descriptions help employees from other departments, who must work with the person hired, understand the boundaries of the person's responsibilities. Finally, the job description is an integral piece of the performance development planning process.
