Companies around the globe are challenged with holding on to their highly skilled workforce in a competitive market, while also refining performance expectations and developing their internal talent. By clearly defining competency requirements for job roles, and by helping employees assess, manage and develop their own competencies, organizations can promote career growth and create a work culture that employees view as supportive and enriching. People value employers that offer a clear path for career development; thus, empowering employees to develop their competencies and providing a tool that enables employees to match their aspirations to available job roles can positively influence employee job satisfaction, experience and retention.
The term competency denotes the ability to do something successfully and efficiently. Organizations benefit greatly from having a variety of competencies. Imagine if every employee had the same kind of skills. The business would be lacking in a lot of areas. Variation in the skills, abilities, and attributes of its members contributes to the success of organizations. Every employee has their own core competencies that should be assessed and developed
Here are some reasons from the employee perspective to promote competency-based management in your organization:
- Allows employee to progress as an individual
- Helps identify their areas of strengths and weaknesses
- Provides a sense of empowerment and motivation
- Maximizes employee’s contribution to the organization
- Offers engagement and building relationships with managers
- Helps in reaching more opportunities within their desired career
