Competency framework design
Define the skills and behaviours each role needs, and link them to hiring, appraisal and training.
A competency framework describes the skills and behaviours each role needs. When it is clear and well designed, it guides hiring, appraisals, training and promotion decisions in a consistent way.
Who it is for: HR leaders, L&D teams and organisations growing or restructuring.
