Book Description
How Do You Ensure that Employees Are Doing the Right Things?
Many of us ask, “What does it take to do a job well?” and stop there. But there’s more to
it than that.
What skills and knowledge are necessary for effectiveness in a certain job? Does the
employee have the appropriate skills and knowledge, or is some kind of training
necessary? Are these job expectations aligned with the culture and strategy of the
organization as a whole?
These questions are essential to performance improvement efforts. And competency
modeling is designed to help you find answers to questions such as these.
A competency model is . . . a descriptive tool that identifies the skills, knowledge,
personal characteristics, and behaviors needed to effectively perform a role in the
organization and help the business meet its strategic objectives.
