Reassessment of job description: Sue Pearson(PR Dept.)
Introduction
This report sets out to use WorkSet colours to assess the accuracy of my job description as PR Officer and to suggest a nomber of changes.
Findings
It is clear that there is a difference between the way company views the job and the reality as I perceive it. Firstly, a number of areas which demand a significant proportion of my time are not mentioned in the official job brief. The segment on the pie chart which provides most cause for concern is the pink sector;this relates to my attendance at a number of meetings to which I can contribute little. Another significant area is the grey segment; this refers to the unscheduled time which I spend sorting out computer problems. I feel that these activities are hampering my core work.As can be seen from the pie charts, the time I spend actively working to meet the goals agreed with my line manager is less than envisaged.
Conclusions
The above discrepancies clearly indicate that my current job brief is inaccurate.
Recommendations
I would recommend that my official job brief should be updated using the WorkSet colours. It would also be valuable to consider the proportion of non-core colours in the pie chart and to investigate whether work in these areas could be carried out by someone else more suited to thesr tasks.
