Why Use a Job Description?

A job description is a document that a manager presents to the newly hired logistics officer during the initial job orientation. This document contains the requirements, duties, and functions of a logistics officer.

Depending on the preference of the manager, a logistics job description may contain various parts. Some categories, however, must necessarily be present in a job description and those are the following:

• job title (Logistics Officer);
• employee status (whether or not the logistics officer you are hiring is a regular employee, contractual, or part-time);
• the name and job title of the person or supervisor whom the logistics officer must answer and report to;
• the summary of the job position;
• requirements or qualifications for the job (this includes the necessary skills, experience, and educational background that a prospective logistics officer must posses before getting hired for the job); and
• physical requirements for the job.

 

A job description has several benefits for the company hiring a logistics officer. Some of those are the following:

• It serves as a recruitment tool by creating a job posting that indicates the qualifications stated in the job description.
• It serves as a basis for assessing the performance of an employee. Upon orientation, an employee is handed out a job description and the contents of which are carefully discussed by the human resource manager or the employer. Then a copy of the said job description is handed to each employee. This is important because a job description is legally binding upon the courts in the event that the company will terminate the employment of an employee upon the grounds of non-performance of job duties. In this case, due to a valid job description, the employee has no right to question such termination.
