A PD is a comprehensive document that provides candidates with an understanding about what a job entails. It’s important that a position description is detailed and accurate so that candidates can determine if it’s the right role for them.  The way a PD is written can influence who it attracts and who applies.\nEmployers are required by law to provide details to their employees about the terms and conditions of their employment including pay, and their responsibilities/duties. Position descriptions and employment contracts protect both employers and employees by providing clarity about expectations, required skills and expertise to fulfil the requirements of a position, and employment conditions and are important documents if there is a dispute.\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.inclusionhub.com/articles/inclusive-job-descriptions\" \u0014Inclusion Hub\u0015 states that while there is a lot more to an organisation’s identity than discussed in a PD, research suggests that up to 55 per cent of viewers consider PDs the most significant tool to deciding if an organisation is right for them.
