Our Competency Dictionaries
At HRSG, we have seen the remarkable impact that competencies can have as employees develop a clearer understanding of their role and their potential within the organization due to the use of job-relevant competencies.
Utilizing competencies can have a positive impact on your employees in the following areas:
- Sense of autonomy
- Empowerment
- Pride in organizational career development
What is a Competency Dictionary?
A competency dictionary is a collection of competencies that address all the skills, knowledge and abilities required of the jobs in your organization. It often includes a combination of general competencies that are common to all jobs, and technical competencies that are needed for specific jobs or functions within the organization.
Why Use a Competency Dictionary?
A competency dictionary is important as it Is the foundation of any organization’s competency-based HR initiative, including selection, assessment, performance management, and succession planning.
It is possible to also have competency dictionaries for specific types of competencies such as:
- Behavioral competency dictionary
- Technical competency dictionary
- Functional competency dictionary
- Leadership competency dictionary
