When Standard Job Descriptions Fall Short, Consider Advice Spelled Out in New White Paper from Prosperity Plus

Smithtown, NY, April 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Prosperity Plus Management Consulting, Inc. has released a new white paper that defines the most effective method office systems dealers can use to ensure proper staff training within their operations. The free white paper “How Effective is Your Staff?” is a highly useful reference guide that can help office systems dealers simplify training, avoid overlap and raise productivity among employees. It spells out the benefits of a written “hat pack,” which is a key component within the highly successful Hubbard Management System.

“As defined in the Hubbard system, a hat is a term used to describe the write ups, check sheets and packs that outline the purposes, know-how and duties of a post,” said Jim Kahrs, President and Founder of Prosperity Plus. “It comes from the days of rail travel where each worker on a train could be identified by the hat he wore. Though many dealerships in the office systems industry have and use job descriptions, few of them contain all of the components called for in a standard hat.”

The result, Kahrs says in the white paper, is a confusion of responsibilities or a nebulous concept called a “job” that leaves room for interpretation and dropped tasks or duties. A standard hat pack will encompass everything relevant to a particular post including the expected product of that post, the statistics used to measure progress, and how that posts relates to the rest of the organization. It is particularly applicable to organizations where one person may handle several posts.
