• Now look at the job descriptions you’ve been given. Rank them from strongest to weakest. You should be able to give reasons for your decisions.

Why do we create job descriptions?• To inform potential applicants for a job about the sorts of

tasks they would be expected to do.

• To give employees an overview of what their day to day tasks would include and what is expected of them. Sometimes job descriptions can be altered and so tasks can be added or removed. New job descriptions would need to be issued.

• To protect the employees from their employers. If a manager asks a member of staff to do a job that’s not in their job description, the member of staff can refuse to do it.
