The Competency Management Process

A thorough competency management and job analysis process will give your organization clearly articulated competency profiles that can serve as the foundation across such HR initiatives as selection, promotion, training and development, performance management, and succession planning.

While the procedure might vary based on organizational and project needs, there are typically 5 steps to the process:

  • Planning
  • Collecting background and benchmark data
  • Data collection
  • Data integration
  • Documenting the results
