Most organizations want to get more done at lower cost, and one way is to focus on differences in individual productivity. Research shows some people are far more productive than others, with top performers producing as much as twenty times the results of average performers. The difference comes down to competencies, which describe the people who get results.
This 90-minute competency management webinar reviews competency modeling: what competencies are, how they beat job descriptions at pinpointing individual differences, how to identify them and how to use them.
You'll see how competencies relate to talent, how they can guide an organization's entire HR system, what best practices in competency modeling look like, and a tool for comparing your organization against global best practice.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Competencies explain why some people produce far more than others, and using them well can lead to higher productivity and lower costs. This session helps you build the case to managers for competency management as a productivity strategy.
It suits HR practitioners, trainers and training managers, and operating managers.
