Carla's job at the XYZ Company evolved over the many years she worked there. As she gained additional knowledge and skills, her responsibilities expanded into many diverse areas. When the time came to update her job description, her supervisor asked Carla to document all of the duties she performed in her area as well as those she had taken on over the years due to her versatility. Based on the above, which of the following statements is most accurate?

Options:

The supervisor should not have asked Carla to contribute to the job description. Job descriptions should be developed only by human resources and management.

The job description will be far more relevant than before because of the addition of duties that Carla has taken on over the years.
