as an enabler in integrated, effective people management

Outline

The strategic role and application of competency modelling linked to leadership and business modelling is a critical component of an effective and efficient human capital management strategy in any organisation. It is therefore an essential skill that every Human Capital practitioner should have.

Competency modelling enables the Human Capital practitioner in a number of ways; with the profiling of performers at present and in the future; with a clear indication of what talent needs to be developed at each level of work; aligning the selection of people; enabling workforce development planning and describing the proficiency criteria to achieve job success.

As such, it represents a critical cornerstone of the implementation of an integrative Human Capital framework, especially through its direct link to effective work performance. Knowledge and a thorough understanding of competency modelling and its underpinning principles empowers those involved in sustainable business growth and people development to serve as enabler in developing and growing a competent and proficient work force towards realising strategic business objectives.

This 2 day course will be beneficial to Human Capital practitioners and line management who are involved in job design, recruitment, performance management, people planning and human capital development. It will include 4-6 hours of base theory and 10-12 hours of case studies.
