concise job descriptions tied to core values and KPIs can lead to a more
successful and productive remote team.

straightforward. They emphasize that clear, concise language helps everyone
understand exactly what’s expected, without unnecessary complexity.
Aligning Job Descriptions with Core Values

values. It’s not just about duties—it’s about ensuring employees know how their
role contributes to the larger mission and culture of the agency.

descriptions should reflect specific KPIs. By defining measurable tasks and
goals, job descriptions create clear expectations and accountability for
employees’ performance.
Job Descriptions as a Tool for Fit

employee assess if they’re a good fit. By outlining the role clearly from the
start, both parties can avoid surprises and ensure alignment with the agency’s
needs.
