Competency is the measure by which you evaluate the performance potential of employees. Competency indicates the quantum of skills, knowledge and behavioral traits in an employee that facilitate better performance in a task or assignment. Competency has substituted the term “skills”, reflecting recent HR thinking where skills constitute only a portion of competency.
Competency is made of competency classes, and each competency class consists of competency elements.
Competency class refers to any set of related competency elements that can be grouped under a single name. Knowledge, Skills and Behavioral Traits are some examples of competency classes.
Competency element refers to any unique, identifiable and ratable skill, knowledge or behavioral trait or a constituent element of any other competency class. Initiative, Negotiating Skills, etc., are examples of competency elements.
The View Competency activity: Through the View Competency activity, you can view the most recent updates to the competency. The competency you want to view may have been defined with or without constituent competency classes and elements. If the competency does not contain classes and elements, you can view the values specified for the competency details. They comprise
The competency definition unit. It is the organization unit in which the competency component is deployed. Other organization units can access the competency definitions from this organization unit for their use.
The unique code to identify the competency and its short and long description.
The completion status of the competency details which indicates if the definitions process has been completed for the competency or otherwise.
The active/inactive status of the competency which indicates if the competency details are in active status and available for use in other activities or otherwise.
The minimum desired level of the competency and the maximum value set in the process parameters. The proficiency levels of the employee in a competency can be rated on a numeric scale of 0-100, 0-120, 0-150 etc., based on the maximum value set in the process parameters during deployment. The minimum desired level indicates the minimum extent to which the competency must be present in the employee against a maximum value set in the process parameters during deployment.
Whether the competency is mapped or applicable to all employees in the organization units interacting with the specified competency definition organization unit or otherwise is also displayed. Example: If the competency is “Punctuality”, it is applicable to all the employees and can therefore be mapped to all the employees. If the competency is “Operating Compressor”, it must be mapped selectively to the required employees only, and not to all the employees.
The “trainable” status of the competency. A competency that is expected to be inherent in employees, such as “Discipline”, which cannot be imparted through training to employees who do not possess it, is a non-trainable behavioral trait. A competency such as “Communication Skills” could be an example of a trainable skill.
The additional comments, if any, about the competency.
The constituent competency classes and elements of the competency.
The details of the competency classes and elements you can view comprise,
The code and description of the competency classes within the competency. The other details of each competency class include the most recently updated weightage, weightage in percentage and the number of competency elements constituting each class.
The details specific to the competency elements under each competency class. These details span the codes and descriptions of the competency elements, the minimum desired value and weightage and weightage in percentage of each.
Note that you can view the competency details either in the login language or in any of the available languages.
