An employee role description can be a simple document that outlines what an employee’s activities are supposed to be in a company, or it can be a working document that is helpful to a company in creating accountability with all team members. Inside this section of materials, you will find not just the role descriptions and examples that can be customized, but also a structure for making the role description a true performance document tied to real performance initiatives. We are believers in a letter of expectations each year outlining employee goal setting, aligning with the company goals (department goals) and truly making the activities in a role description match the targeted performance.
