competencies

Competencies describe the behaviours and skills which enable individuals to:

  • do their job effectively
  • contribute to the organisation's long-term goals

Using competency models, we can help you to identify and rank required behaviours and skills on a role by role basis. Personality tests, such as 16pf, enable us to produce competency profiles to determine the best person/job fit.

employee selection, personal development

A competency-based approach enables better recruitment and selection decisions to be made while providing an effective framework for personal development.

competencies - hard and soft skills

Competencies describe both hard and soft skills.  Hard skills are normally technical while soft skills are behavioural.

Examples of frequently-identified competencies include:

  • communication skills
  • people management
  • team skills
  • customer service skills
  • results-orientation
  • problem-solving

identify competencies by role

While respect for others might be an essential competency for all members of an organisation, not everyone would necessarily require competencies such as managing others or strategic vision.

We can work with you to identify competencies which are essential, desirable, less relevant or not relevant on a role by role basis. 

mapping the competency fit

By mapping an individual's fit against the competencies required for a role, development needs can be identified objectively and constructively.  A competency profile can be derived from personality tests such as the 16pf.

competencies for recruitment and selection

When competency frameworks are used with personality tests for recruitment and selection the results can be extremely powerful.  Better retention, better performance and reduced costs are just some of the benefits.

competencies and change

The competency framework provides a basis for aligning behaviours during change management programmes by providing an explicit link between an organisation's values, or preferred culture, and individual behaviours.

Using world class diagnostics, such as 16PF we can measure and map individuals' competencies. An additional outcome of this process is the identification of hidden talent and those with the ability to sustain a larger role.

feedback, train & develop

The focus is developmental. Feedback is provided to individuals so that training and development needs can be identified. Additional training can be provided for managers to ensure seamless integration with existing training and development processes.
