Redesign Jobs for Improved Performance
Stay on top of job redesign using five steps.
- Organizational change, such as consolidation, spillover, transformation, and reorganization is unavoidable in today’s business environment and must be actively managed. One way to do this is to ensure jobs are redesigned effectively.
- Managing a job description often falls to the backburner; this causes managers to evaluate employees on undefined tasks and makes employees unclear about what is expected.
- Managers and organizational decision-makers often do not know how to do an effective job redesign, which results in roles that are not over or under-loaded. This leads to disengaged and unsatisfied employees.
