A well-written job description does more than advertise an opening. Courts give weight to an employer's list of essential job functions, as long as it appeared in a job description that existed before the employer recruited for the role.
That protection only works if the document is accurate. Some employers have seen job descriptions hurt them in court, mostly because they treated them as finished rather than as a work in progress and let them fall out of date.
This 60-minute webinar on writing effective job descriptions covers the words to use and avoid, best practices, the most common mistakes, new approaches including the use of AI, and how to make your job descriptions more likely to help you win in court.
