The purpose of this template is to explain the different components that comprise a well thought through and legal role, job, or position description. All of those terms are interchangeable – we prefer the term role because it explains the part this position plays in the company’s success.

What is important about creating and upgrading your position descriptions:

  2. Provides clarity on successful role requirements, essential to determine eligibility when advertizing and hiring new employees.
