underline;\">free<\/span> templates available online to help you build a solid business plan.\u00a0 If you are a new entrepreneur and are starting from scratch, several sections, especially the key \u00ab\u00a0personnel section\u00a0\u00bb, may appear a little challenging to complete.\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>The first step in addressing the key personnel section should be to map an organisational chart (org chart) of the new business.\u00a0 An org chart is a diagram that shows the structure of the business and the relationships between its employees.\u00a0 For example, a small retail store that is opened 80 hours per week may have the following org chart:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-180  aligncenter\" title=\"Example of an org chart\" src=\"http:\/\/hr-pros.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/sample-org-chart-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"Example of an org chart\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\"

\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next step in the process is to assign responsibilities to each of the positions in the organisation.\u00a0 The assignment of duties in our sample retail store could resemble the following table:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-178\" title=\"Jobs and responsibilities\" src=\"http:\/\/hr-pros.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/table-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"Example of responsibilities assigned to jobs\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/table-300x174.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/table.jpg 586w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the assignment of positional duties we can build one of the most valuable and multi-purpose tools in effectively managing our human resources: <strong>job descriptions<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 Not only do job descriptions identify the duties and required skills of the position, job descriptions help when recruiting, when performance managing employees, when succession planning, when planning training and development activities, etc, etc.\u00a0 Further, job descriptions are an indispensable tool when planning your compensation strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure where to start?\u00a0 The internet has some job description templates.\u00a0 Short on time or expertise?\u00a0 Call <strong>HR pros<\/strong> and we will help with this process and build your job descriptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in a previous post, there are several good and free templates available online to help you build a solid business
