The MASTER Job Descriptions© Process
Identify and Measure Expected Results
To develop MASTER Job Descriptions© for your company, McDermott Associates will begin with a careful analysis of the important facts about a position, including:
- Individual tasks involved
- Methods used to complete the tasks
- Purpose and responsibilities of the job
- Relationship of the job to other jobs
- Qualifications needed for the job
In addition to identifying the results expected from each set of tasks, we work with our clients to determine the best way to measure the extent to which each result was achieved.
With MASTER Job Descriptions, all results have the appropriate metrics associated with them, either quantitative (e.g., sales calls per day) or qualitative (e.g., customer feedback).
