Competency Frameworks
Competencies are skills and abilities described in behavioural terms that are coachable, observable, measurable, and critical to employee success in relation to business performance.
They form a common language about success within an organisation and they create the foundation for effective and integrated HR processes that drive business performance.
The core purpose of a competency framework is to facilitate:
- The measurement of performance and potential of each employee.
- A means of matching people to work requirements and career opportunities.
- A way of mapping learning solutions to identify development needs for employees in order to further enhance their existing skill set.
Applications and benefits of an effective framework:
- Clearly defined competencies integrate talent management and business strategy
- Provide employees with a clear understanding of the behaviours and skills that will foster the desired culture and business results
- Provide a structured mechanism for feedback
- Enable focus on training and development
- Competencies represent the language of performance in an organisation, articulating both the expected outcomes of an individual’s efforts and the manner in which these activities are carried out, and this becomes the basis of many other human capital solutions such as:
- Succession planning and Talent management
- Performance Management
- Recruitment and Selection
- Learning and Development
