Product Description
How Do You Ensure that Employees Are Doing the Right Things?

Many of us ask, "What does it take to do a job well?" and stop there. But there′s more to it than that.

What skills and knowledge are necessary for effectiveness in a certain job? Does the employee have the appropriate skills and knowledge, or is some kind of training necessary? Are these job expectations aligned with the culture and strategy of the organization as a whole?

These questions are essential to performance improvement efforts. And competency modeling is designed to help you find answers to questions such as these.

A competency model is . . . a descriptive tool that identifies the skills, knowledge, personal characteristics, and behaviors needed to effectively perform a role in the organization and help the business meet its strategic objectives.

From the authors of the best–selling book The Art and Science of 360? Feedback comes this guide to the design and implementation of competency models.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Covers all the key points for developing a Competency System, 20 Jan 2001 By A Customer An excellent book covering all that is necessary to understand the subject and to implement a Competency programme. Uses a wide range of source material and distils it down to a very practical "how to" book that is presented in sufficient detail to be of valuable to the Competency project leader whilst not getting entrenched in academic complexities. Includes some valuable guidance on gaining support and on using Competencies to underpin sound HRM systems. Is particularly recommended to those who are serious about developing a Competency programme in-house. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It is concise and clearly written avoiding getting bogged down in academic studies or theory. The text is workmanlike and to the point - hardly sparkling prose - but it is suited exactly to the market - a very practical guide for managers in the field.

In the last five years, interest in them and their potential to help staffing and development efforts has increased dramatically among our client group. We believe this interest will continue to grow over the next few years due to three key, related trends-intensified competition, aggressive cost management and downsizing, and the proliferation of 360-degree feedback system." In this invaluable study, authors : * define what a competency model is, describe its components, and discuss some of their broad, general application. * examine how competency models can be applied within selection, training and development, appraisal, and succession planning systems to support an organization's business objectives. * discuss establishing the performance criteria with which your organization measures success to better focus your data collection and analysis. * describe specific action steps to follow during the development of the competency model from scratch. * discuss various methods of data collection and how they can be used to increase the likelihood of identifying the knowledge, skills, and characteristics required to succeed in the job. * describe the process of creating competency-based selection, training and development, appraisal, and succession planning systems. * discuss the methods for converting the model into the necessary formats or tools to integrate the competencies into each step of human resource management. This study is a "must" reading guide for HR professionals and line managers. I highly recommend. (Reviewed by FreeImage HR Consulting / a division of T.B.
