1) Having a job description that details physical functions and demands, rather than just responsibilities, can benefit employers and employees by identifying injury prevention measures like conditioning, training, and ergonomics. 2) A job function description accurately describes jobs to applicants, forms the basis for job-related tests, assesses reasonable accommodations, and identifies ergonomic opportunities. 3) Developing accurate job function descriptions can help physicians with return-to-work planning and prevent costly workers' compensation claims, resulting in cost savings for employers.

CHAPTER SUMMARY
Position descriptions or job descriptions are the documents upon which the day-to-day operations and
activities of the employees of an organization are based. They should support the mission, goals, and
objectives of the organization that creates them. All job descriptions in an organization should use the
same format and a common vocabulary. Well-written position descriptions include statements that
clearly delineate duties and responsibilities and fully describe compensable factors such as the level of
responsibility, the number of persons supervised, the resources controlled, and the experience and
minimum level of education needed to complete the job successfully.
Case Study: Creating a New Job Description
Julie Miller, the health officer of a large suburban health department, was planning for the future. The
board had discussed creating a new position for someone to conduct training for employees of the
health department. Registered sanitarians are the most common classification of employees in the
health department. They are not only difficult to recruit but also difficult to retain. Providing them with
additional and ongoing training should help with retention.
Matt Jefferson has been employed as a registered sanitarian for the past six years. He recently
completed a master of public health degree. He approached Julie to ask for the training position, briefly
making his case that he was the best person to become the trainer. Julie told Matt that, according to
departmental rules, a search would have to be conducted to find the best candidate for the position.
Matt replied that if the job description were written carefully, a sanitarian clearly would be the best
candidate. After thanking Matt for his thoughts, Julie began to work on the position description, which
she thought could be completed in half an hour. What comments or advice would you offer to Julie?

Compensation means salary. HR managers use research, studies, and surveys to determine a competitive salary in order to design a talent management strategy.
Benefits such as PTO and medical insurance, etc., are also researched and planned. Benefit packages supplement employees compensation, and, thus, form an important element of a talent management strategy. A benefit plan typically addresses the specific needs of employees. However, HR managers must balance the needs of the organization and the needs of the employees while designing the compensation and benefits (C&B) mix because market forces often drive resources. In a good economy, or when an organization is flourishing, it is relatively easy to acquire talent. When economic or organizational performance is bad, attracting resources becomes tougher.
The role of C&B on employee motivation, morale, productivity, and retention can be profound and is the subject of ongoing research to determine not only the effect of compensation and benefit packages on productivity, but also the specific tipping point. For example, will a 25% bonus on base salary result in a 25% increase in productivity? Would a 20% bonus have the same results? Can any increase in productivity be accurately linked to bonus incentives or are there other factors at work? Your assigned readings provide some references to such studies, but you can conduct your own research in the Argosy University online libraries using keywords like pay for performance, compensation rewards, financial rewards, organizational performance, human resource management, or profit-sharing.

Having a job description that details the physical functions and demands of a job, rather than one that simply states job responsibilities can greatly benefit both employer and employee. When a skilled physical therapist does the necessary work to document a Job Description, many opportunities for injury prevention become apparent. By defining specific tasks within jobs, and evaluating exact physical demands, one can implement preventative measures such as conditioning, training, and ergonomics. What can I do with a Job Function Description? 則 Accurately describe the job to potential applicants or transfers: The Job Function Description (JFD) is written in an easy-to-read format and is easily understood by applicants considering the position. 則 Form the base of job-related tests: In order to meet the legal requirements of job-related testing, the JFD can be used to develop specific tests, such as a post offer screens, or back to work tests. 則 Assess Reasonable Accommodation or light duty: If an accurate JFD and back to work test is in place, it becomes easier to determine which tasks a worker can or cannot perform. From this, reasonable accommodation options may be presented. 則 Identify Ergonomic Opportunities: An accurate JFD will quickly demonstrate a summary of high forces, high repetitions, or awkward positions. From this, suggested areas for ergonomic changes can be identified. What does this mean for ME, the employer? Having an accurate JFD in place can assist physicians in return to work planning. Since the focus is on work function, early and safe return to work prevents costly workers compensation claims. Cost savings are significant and translate to decreased lost time, decreased restricted days, lower medical care and costs, and a decrease in workers compensation premiums. Where do I start? At WorkPlace Solutions, we can help facilitate the process of developing an accurate JFD. We will begin by meeting with supervisors, walking through your facility, and completing a job analysis.
