Chrismas Party

The discussion focus on the importance of Job description on the running of a Christmas party that was held on the 6^th December 2014 at Baraka Valley lodge. Cousins and Lillicrap ( 2010) illustrate that job description is identification of an individual’s duties and responsibility of the occupation. According to Allen et al (2012) state that is event manager’s responsibility to match staff according to their capabilities for the job. Beardwell, Holden and Claydon (2003) highlight that job description makes it easy for human resources in selecting and recruitment of staff.

The provision of poor service for an event was due to wrong job allocation for staff by the event manager. College Park Church (2013) highlight that the event coordinator should know the capabilities of the team that is working. Mullins ( 2005) pointed out that  it would be at the human resources  advantage to identify staff duties easily.The team members where not sure of what needs to be done and there was confusion because the management also lacked communication. Pettinger (2007) state that management should have good communication skills for the people their leading to understand clearly.
