Read the case study "Maintaining Job Descriptions" and answer the question below Maintaining Job Descriptions The InAndOut, Inc., company provides warehousing and fulfillment services (order receiving and filling) to small publishers of books with small print runs (number of copies of a book printed). After the books are printed and bound at a printing facility , they are shipped to InAndOut for handling. The books are initially received by handlers who unload them from the trucks, place them on pallets, and move them via forklifts and conveyors to their assigned storage space in the ware- house. The handlers also retrieve books and take them to the shipping area when orders are received. The shippers package the books, place them in cartons, and load them onto delivery trucks (to take to air or ground transportation providers) Book orders are taken by customer service representatives via printed, phone, or electronic (e-mail, fax) forms. New accounts are generated by marketing repre sentatives, who also service existing accounts. Order clerks handle all the internal paperwork. All these employees report to either the superviser of operations or the supervisor of customer service, who in turn reports to the general manager. The owner and president of InAndOut, Inc. Alta Fossom, is independently wealthy and delegates all day-to-day management matters to the general manager, Marvin Olson. Alta requires, however, that Marvin clear any new ideas or initiatives with her before taking action. The company is growing and changing rapidly, along with adding many new, and often larger, accounts. Publishers are demanding more services and faster order fulfillment. Information technology is constantly being upgraded, and new machinery (forklifts, computer-assisted conveyor system) is being utilized. The workforce is growing in size to meet the business growth. There are now 37 employees, and Marvin expects to hire another 15-20 new employees within the next year. Job descriptions for the company were originally written by a consultant about eight years ago. They have never been revised and are hopelessly outdated. The job of marketing representative does not even have a job description, because the job was created only five years ago. As general manager. Marvin is responsible for all HR management matters, but he has little time to devote to them. To get a better grip on HR responsibilities, Marvin has hired you as a part-time HR intern. He has a gut feeling that the job descriptions need to be updated or, in some cases, created and has assigned this project to you. Since Marvin has to clear new projects with Alta, he wants you to prepare a brief proposal that he can take to her for approval and that suggests the following: QUESTIONS 1. Summarize the case using your own words. 2. Suggest 3 job requirement sources that InAndOut company can use before starting job analysis? Explain? 3. Marvin is expecting to hire another 15-20 new employees within the next year. What study (requirement) should Marvin do before hiring? 4. What possible method can be used in the future for reviewing and updating job description for InAndout company? And why is important to update job description
