WHAT DOES A COMPETENCY MODEL MEAN IN HUMAN RESOURCES?
A competency model is a collection of competencies considered essential to an organization and a particular function which in this case is job groups and types within human resources. Individual competencies are usually defined and supported by key behaviors. Competency models can apply to all employees and professionals, while other models may apply to specific occupations or positions. Competencies and their models provide a map for professionals. It’s important to remember that not every competency in the occupation specific model may be relevant to an individual’s position and career.
