Values-based Job Description – A Template

Each organization will write its own set of job descriptions based on its culture, values, goals, and requirements of each position. Download the templare for a high-level outline of the components that reflect the format for a values-based job description. The intent is for the description of the work environment to be consistent across all descriptions as well as some of the qualifications for all members of the team. These two sections are often where the culture and values are most clearly articulated, but plenty of other opportunities exist throughout the document to reflect what is core about the organization. As a reminder, most employers use a version of the job description to create a position profile and job announcement that are aligned but more focused on encouraging people to apply for the position.

This template not intended as legal advice. Your organizational goals, purpose, and values should drive the creation of any policies or dissemination of information of this type. If you have questions or need further assistance, please call Foraker at (907) 743-1200.
