Few people like complicated documents, and few managers have time to draw up or refer to different documents for different purposes, such as recruitment, induction, training and performance management.
The Job Profile is ONE DOCUMENT to suit all of your needs.
One simple document to be used for every aspect of management.
RECRUITMENT The Job Profile describes EXACTLY WHAT the job is, and what you are looking for. It helps when briefing agencies and drawing up job advertisements. The Job Profile is a tool you can use to draw up your interview questions. When making your decisions you will have a standard document to refer to, thus avoiding claims of unfair selection.
INDUCTION Few candidates will have all the skills and knowledge required to carry out their new role. The Job Profile will help you to plan an effective induction programme.
LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT Planning their development is key to retaining your employees but without correct needs analysis you are likely to waste time and money training staff in the wrong things. By using the Job Profile you will remain focused on exactly what the person needs to learn.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT The Job Profile is a tool to use throughout the year to help the manager, together with the job holder, remain focused on the important aspects of the job. This in turn will make a formal annual appraisal process simpler and more effective.
CAREER PATHS AND SUCCESSION PLANNING The Job Profile allows employees seeking promotion to understand what knowledge and skills they need to possess in order to progress to the next level.
