Our competency assessment process provides a baseline competency profile for individuals and an overall picture of organizational strength. Individuals can pursue prioritized competency development plans to close gaps through development and reassessment. This evergreen process enables employees to improve their competency level throughout the year, ensuring employee motivation and creating a higher performing organization.
Provides employees with clarity around job responsibilities, allows supervisors to observe employees over a range of operating conditions, and enables trained assessors to ensure assessments are fair and objective.
Employee results are reviewed to identify and prioritize competency gaps. Then, individual development plans are created to bridge each gap using a blend of suggested learning events and on-the-job application.
Employees can participate in a blend of learning based on the development plan, then apply new knowledge and skills on the job. Once an employee is ready, a reassessment can be conducted to close the gap.
Our Road Map illustrates the series of events we follow to implement a competency management project. It starts with the design framework to determine how the competency models will look, whether they’ll include technical and behavioral competencies, and the number of competencies within each model.
Within the development phase we customize the models, map the learning, then deploy our software and train our clients on how to use it. Then a client starts the assessment process with its employees, line managers, and assessors. In the final phase, individual development plans are created, employees pursue their learning, and they’re reassessed to close any competency gaps.
