The government shift to competency management
Governments are increasingly adopting competency management as a system for both clarifying the specific abilities – knowledge, skills and (importantly) behaviours – needed for a given job, and ensuring effective performance from employees. This shift from the traditional approach to job description, selection, development, appraisal and rewards is seen as a vehicle for bringing about necessary cultural change and injecting more flexibility, adaptability and entrepreneurship into organisations. Proper integration of competencies into a framework allows human resource management to develop strategic workforce planning, and employees to develop their career plans. Organisational readiness, stakeholder commitment and periodic review are among factors needed if the system is to succeed.
