Competency Framework - Applications

Competency models provide an integrated framework linking people to the business through human resource processes, from selection to succession planning.

 

  • In recruitment, competencies communicate the corporate message to the right audience and serve as criteria for screening application forms and CV’s before more integrated assessment through psychometric, assessment centre and interview information into a unified framework
  • In performance management, competencies describe job behaviours that are evaluated in conjunction with job objectives
  • In development, competencies enable 360 degree feedback on individual strengths and development needs as well as effective personal development career planning.

The SHL Competency Framework presents a state-of-the-art perspective on competencies. The framework incorporates a model of performance at work that defines the relationships between competency potential, competency requirements and competencies themselves.

SHL also has a tool, the Work Profiling System (WPS) that covers all the key tasks performed in a role. Used with employees in the target roles and their managers, the WPS provides a thorough and systematic basis for analysis, and forms a vital check to ensure that no important areas of a role are overlooked. The WPS provides an efficient way of capturing information about jobs.
