How to write an outcome-based job description, for your PAYE roles…

An outcome-based job description can help to increase employee engagement in the company’s success.

This is because an outcome-based approach focuses on the results or outcomes that the employee is responsible for achieving, rather than just the tasks or responsibilities that they are required to carry out.

By providing employees with clear goals and objectives that are linked to the company’s success, they are more likely to feel a sense of ownership and accountability for their work.

Moreover, an outcome-based job description allows employees to see the direct impact of their work on the organization’s success. This can be a powerful motivator, as it gives employees a sense of purpose and meaning in their work. When employees understand how their work contributes to the company’s success, they are more likely to feel invested in the organisation’s goals and be more engaged in their work.

Additionally, an outcome-based job description provides a clear framework for performance evaluation and recognition. By linking outcomes to specific performance indicators or KPIs, employees can see how their performance is being evaluated and can take proactive steps to improve their performance. This can also provide opportunities for recognition and rewards when employees achieve or exceed their goals, further increasing engagement and motivation.

So what we are saying is, an outcome-based job description can help to foster a culture of engagement and accountability, where employees are motivated to contribute to the company’s success and are empowered to take ownership of their work.

So let’s take a look at how we get this done!

An outcome-based job description focuses on the results or outcomes expected from the job rather than just the tasks or responsibilities involved.

Here are some steps to write an outcome-based job description for a PAYE hire:

1. Start with the job title and a brief overview of the role, including the purpose of the job and how it fits into the organization’s goals.
2. Identify the key outcomes expected from the role, such as increasing sales revenue, improving customer satisfaction, or reducing operational costs. Be specific and measurable with these outcomes.
3. Describe the key tasks and responsibilities that are necessary to achieve these outcomes. These should be linked to the outcomes identified in step 2.
4. Outline the key skills and qualifications required for the role. Be sure to include any mandatory qualifications or certifications required for the position.
5. Identify any specific challenges or opportunities the role will face and describe how the successful candidate will need to address them.
6. Specify any key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be used to measure the success of the role. These should be linked to the outcomes identified in step 2.
7. Conclude with a summary of the expected outcomes, key responsibilities, required skills and qualifications, and any other important information.

So if we start following these simple steps, we can be assured that your new outcome-based job descriptions will focus on the results and outcomes that the candidate will be responsible for delivering, rather than just the day-to-day tasks of the role and that this approach will help to ensure that the job description is aligned with the organization’s goals and that the successful candidate is well-equipped to deliver the desired outcomes.
