Good Job Descriptions Improve Work Performance

A clear understanding of job responsibilities can help employees excel and will contribute to improved work performance, according to human resource experts.

For many builders, job descriptions are a sensible starting point to begin communicating their expectations to their employees, especially for growing businesses. A new book available through BuilderBooks.com can help you jump start this process.

Job Descriptions, 3rd ed. provides samples, on paper and on CD-ROM, of typical jobs in the industry. Inside you’ll find basic requirements for such positions as management, marketing, land acquisition, construction, operations, and others.  Additional chapters include helpful tips on communicating company organizational structure, discussing job performance, conducting successful interviews, and more. 

This book and other new resources can be found at NAHB’s official bookstore, BuilderBooks.com.
