THE FEATURES & HOW A COMPETENCE FRAMEWORK UNDERPINS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS

What is competence framework?

  • Competence may be defined as the behaviours (and, where appropriate, technical attributes) that individuals must have, or must acquire, to perform effectively at work – that is, the term focus on the personal attributes or inputs of the individual.

  • A ‘competency framework’ is a structure that sets out and defines each individual competency (such as problem-solving or people management) required by individuals working in an organisation or part of an organisation

  • Competencies are a signal from the organisation to the individual of the expected areas and levels of performance. 

    They provide the individual with a map or indication of the behaviours and actions that will be valued, recognised and in some organisations rewarded. 

    Competencies can be understood to represent the language of performance in an organisation.

  • Creating a competency framework is an effective method to assess, maintain, and monitor the knowledge, skills, and attributes of people in organisations. 

    The framework allows to measure current competency levels to make sure staff members have the expertise needed to add value to the business. 

    It also helps managers make informed decisions about talent recruitment, retention, and succession strategies. 

    And, by identifying the specific behaviours and skills needed for each role, it enables the company to budget and plan for the training and development your company really needs.
