Roger and Sandra Plachy offer an innovative approach to a critical but often tedious and unproductive task: writing job descriptions. Their results-oriented method has revolutionized standard job descriptions, transforming them from mere "laundry lists" of duties or general descriptions of work processes to powerful tools for improving employee performance. Because results-oriented job descriptions emphasize the results desired from performing a particular job and explain why the work is important to the organization, employees better understand the true value of their work and are more committed to fulfilling goals. More Results-Oriented Job Descriptions provides 226 brand new job descriptions in 26 categories, from accounting and finance to warehousing and distribution, that you can use as is or adapt to fit your needs. It also offers guidelines and worksheets for writing original job descriptions, exercises that will improve your writing skills, and explanations of relevant employment laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Not What I Expected,
By Jake Riley (Canton, OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: More Results-Oriented Job Descriptions: 226 Models to Use or Adapt -- With Guidelines for Creating Your Own (Plastic Comb)
Plachy's original book, "Results-Oriented Job Descriptions: More Than 225 Models to Use or Adapt-With Guidelines for Creating Your Own," received wonderful reviews and a 5-star rating. I made the assumption that since it is no longer in print, "More Results-Oriented Job Descriptions:..." was a reissue of the original book with additional material. I was wrong. Common job descriptions were included in the first book; those included in this work are additional and not what I needed to develop descriptions for employees in my company. For example, I need a complete description for our company financial controller. It was in the first volume. I wish that would have been explained in the editorial material for the book. I am unable to use this book and feel that I wasted money purchasing it.
