Competency Management

In competency management, you translate your vision and strategy into specific objectives for each role. Careful implementation pays off in the form of greater clarity and structure across all roles.

Every implementation is customized. hrmforce typically works in three phases: defining strategy, setting up the HR organization, and designing and implementing the development cycle.

Explanation

Competency Management

Defining strategy. Management translates the organizational strategy into an HR strategy. We use scientific principles of performance management and competency management as a foundation. If desired, we survey employees regarding their focus on results and which competencies are present or lacking. A concrete plan is derived from the HR strategy.

Structuring the HR organization. The HR department serves the organization better when its structure aligns with the organizational strategy and the HR strategy. hrmforce provides advice on this based on proven organizational models and HR benchmarks.

Design and implementation of the development cycle. Employee development is an ongoing process throughout the year and requires guidance from managers. By establishing development agreements at the beginning of the year and providing ongoing coaching, you can increase your employees’ employability year after year. The key question here is: Does the employee possess the right competencies?

In addition, we make the discussion about behavior more concrete with the hrmforce competency book—a reference guide featuring 50 competencies—and with the competency game, which shows what’s needed for the next step in development. You can play the game alone, with a colleague or manager, or with an entire team.

  • Best-practice research within your organization, through which we work together to determine the optimal competency profile
  • Setting up a development cycle, using online assessment tools or a comprehensive development program
  • Training for managers in coaching skills
  • Job profiles and competencies that use consistent terminology across all positions
  • A reference guide featuring 50 competencies that make behavior measurable and discussable

Step-by-Step Guide

Here’s how a consulting process works at hrmforce

No open-ended contracts and no surprises. You know in advance what will happen, who does what, and what you’ll get.

  1. 1

    Introduction

    In a 30-minute conversation, we’ll help you clarify your question: what’s going on, who’s involved, and what needs to be different in three months.

  2. 2

    Custom Proposal

    You’ll receive a proposal outlining our approach, the tools we’ll use, the turnaround time, and a fixed price. No billing by the hour afterward.

  3. 3

    Implementation

    We carry out the process with a dedicated consultant serving as the point of contact. Participants complete the assessments online, and we schedule interviews and sessions in consultation with them.

  4. 4

    Feedback

    You’ll receive the results in a report along with verbal feedback, including specific recommendations rather than just scores.

  5. 5

    Continued

    Together, we’ll determine what’s needed to sustain the results: a training session, a follow-up assessment, or continuing on your own through your own portal.

The result: well-founded advice that you can explain internally, and a next step that aligns with your organization’s capabilities.
