Building a WorldClass Workforce:
A Competency-Based Approach
Duration:3, 4 or 5 DAYS
Previous
This practical workshop is designed for individuals, including HR operations and technical staff, training, and functional managers and key staff members, interested in the development of a competent workforce through the application of modern competency development processes. Delegates will learn the fundamentals of the competency management process for the development of personnel to meet the strategic needs of the organization.
This program focuses on the practical application of the competency management process: preparing job descriptions, developing competency statements and models, understanding and conducting employee assessments, capturing learning gaps and preparing appropriate development plans to eliminate the gaps. IHRDC’s CMS Online competency software will be used to demonstrate how this process is captured and administered within an online working system. Participants will perform hands-on work involving Competency Statements, Assessment and Skill Gap Analysis. The program concludes with a team based session on developing a talent management strategy and then preparing a competency management program to achieve that strategy.
The learning format consists of short lectures, group discussion, and practical demonstrations and assignments that enhance the learning and allow participants to apply these modern “best practices” immediately upon returning to their organizations. The 4-day version will add a day on HR competency issues including the relationship between the HR Scorecard, the Workforce Scorecard and how they relate to achieving the strategic objectives of the organization within a competency framework. The 5-day version will expand the hands-on workshop activities thus providing a more comprehensive understanding of the key program content.
