If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there. Competency design lets you establish a clear definition of the personality attributes and qualities required for success in your business environment, acting as a standard compass to guide you through the hiring and development process.
A competency is a set of skills, knowledge, abilities, experience, personality traits and motivators which has predictive value towards an individual effectively performing in a job. A competency framework effectively defines role responsibilities and organizational behaviors according to an ideal strategy.
Proper identification of these key variables lets your business orient its internal direction with confidence. Combining this clarity of vision with consistency in assessment provides an essential grounding in objectivity as you recruit new candidates and identify high potential employees, with a view to promotion and succession planning.
