    Competency

    Framework
    How to develop one
    What is competence?
    Competence is defined as having the necessary skills,
    knowledge or ability to successfully do something. In the
    workforce, it’s a measure of your proven skills and knowledge.
    What is a competency framework?
    A competency framework is a standardised structure used to
    define competencies that are necessary for employees to
    have in order to meet business objectives.
    Individual vs Organisational
    Individual competencies are role-based competencies that
    pertain to specific job roles or work content. Essentially, it
    describes how well one can perform their job.
    Organisational competencies are the ‘sum’ of individual
    competencies. These competencies highlight personal
    performance and professional development opportunities for
    your employees.
    How do frameworks help?
    By:
    • Measuring competencies to assist with onboarding, training,
    recruitment and hiring
    • Supporting business growth, succession and scaling
    • Ensuring employee skills match role requirements
    • Highlighting areas for improvement and training
    opportunities.
    Developing A
    Competency
    Framework
    Step 1: Outline Goals
    Define the competency framework’s purpose. This can be
    done by outlining relevant competencies, communicating the
    need for the framework to employees and involving
    employees in the process.
    Step 2: Gather Data
    Gather all the necessary information that will be used to
    measure success. This includes conducting a
    comprehensive job analysis by observing employees, issuing
    surveys and questionnaires, and conducting interviews.
    Step 3: Create Framework
    Organise the competencies into groups and refine that list to
    a manageable number.
    The competencies should be named and defined clearly.
    Consider dividing into core competencies (align with an
    organisation’s strategic intent) and functional competencies
    (relate to an employee’s specific field of work).
    Step 4: Implement & Revise
    Once the framework is implemented, you want to reward
    high performance and offer training to fill gaps. This ensures
    the framework is actually useful for the organisation. It’s also
    critical to regularly revise the framework and align it with
    changing industry standards and technological
    advancements.
    The Cost Of Not
    Using One
    Lack of career advancement
    Without a competency framework in place, identifying the
    skills and knowledge gaps that employees need to
    succeed in their roles can be difficult. This leads to poor
    performance and a lack of career advancement
    opportunities.
    Unclear role expectations
    A competency framework outlines the expectations for
    skills, knowledge and behaviours in each job role. Without
    a clear framework in place, employees may not know how
    they should develop their skills, leading to inefficiencies
    and confusion.
    Complicated HR activities
    Competency frameworks provide valuable information for
    HR professionals, allowing them to identify the
    development needs of employees. Without a competency
    framework in place, this process becomes needlessly
    complicated, time-consuming and expensive.
