Competencies

Organizations have long recognised the importance of developing a competency framework and aligning and developing their employees’ competencies with these. There are numerous models available, with some organizations developing their own frameworks.

SHL has developed the SHL Competency Framework following many years of research, enabling other models to be mapped onto this and understand how SHL assessments can help to measure and develop the competencies of the organization. Organizational values and the fit between those of the company and the individual is crucial to encourage high performance and satisfaction levels.

We should put a model of performance at work at the centre of what we do, rather than focus attention on models of psychological attributes (such as the Big Five personality factors). The Great Eight competencies provide a compressive coverage of work-related behaviours and provide a generalisable framework for both performance assessment and performance prediction.
