It is essential that you have the talent needed to execute your strategy. As competition increases for a diminishing pool of key talent, we recommend that you consider implementing a competency-based approach to your HR system to leverage cutting edge talent management practices.

Competencies are the measurable skills and attributes that lead people to succeed at their work. Based on scientifically tested research, competency frameworks have been developed to identify what behavioural competencies distinguish high performers from low performers in the same/similar types of jobs. These research-based competency frameworks have significant benefits, offering any organization an opportunity to quickly catch up on best practices in talent management.

We can help you do this affordably through a staged approach to implementing competency based HR practices: focusing on rain-maker and other key skills initially, then rolling out to the lower priority skills / jobs sequentially.

We can also help you retain and develop Affirmative Action candidates effectively so that your transformation efforts are linked seamlessly with your strategic focus.

Once you’ve identified the key behavioural competencies that distinguish the best performers in the same / similar types of job (as opposed to technical skills, which anyone with the right behavioural competencies can learn), we can then help you:

Assess present incumbents on these competencies;

Train and develop incumbents to grow stronger in behavioural competencies identified as needing work;

Manage performance so as to measure and reward these value-generating competencies;

Focus any future recruitment/selection on finding people with these distinguishing competencies; etc.

If you’re interested in implementing a competency based approach to your HR system, we are willing to meet and discuss your needs, so that we can give you an honest assessment of how we can help you, the costs involved etc.. Please contact us for a free assessment by clicking here.
