Looking for Job/ Employment Position Descriptions


Recommended Posts

I have been in business for quite a few years but am just now getting to the point where I realize that I really need to create and implement job/employment position descriptions. I am looking for someone who already has them implemented and would be willing to share or help me to develop descriptions for apprentice, journeyman and master technicians. I wrote our policies and procedures and am currently working on a Standard Operating Procedures manual for the company but really have no experience or enough background in how to write an effective job description, nor what to really include. If anyone is willing to help me I would greatly appreciate it. You can email me at [email protected] and I would be willing to trade or help write policies and procedures and SOP's if you are looking for one. Thank you again.

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.
