Functional Competency Framework Leadership

How do you define the skills, behaviors, and attitudes that workers need to perform their roles effectively? How do you know they’re qualified for the job? How do you link individual performance to the goals of the business? To do this, many companies use “competencies.” These are the integrated knowledge, skills, judgment, and attributes that people need to perform a job effectively. By having a defined set of competencies for each role in your business, it shows workers the kind of behaviors your organization values and which it requires to help achieve its objectives. Not only can your team members work more effectively and achieve their potential, but there are many business benefits to be had from linking personal performance with corporate goals and values.

This course will benefit employees from companies that already use competencies and from organizations that are considering implementing them.
