10:15 AM Staying Out of Trouble and Increasing Your Company’s ROI at the Same Time
Many companies have job descriptions, but what do those job descriptions actually tell you about your organization? Do they truly reflect the essential tasks and responsibilities that are being accomplished in that job or are they written around the incumbent in the job? Do they reflect the essential competencies that everyone should have in your organization and that each job should entail? Are they classified correctly according to the new guidelines of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) with regards to exemption status? Are they compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act? Who is managing the “white” space on your organizational chart? Learn the answers to these questions to help determine if your organization is effectively utilizing their resources to the fullest potential in order to get the desired ROI.
