What is Competency and Why it matters.
Competency is the ability of a person to undertake a task (that requires both skills and knowledge) in a range of situations over time. The skills and knowledge and the ability to undertake these in the workplace altogether is a competency. These may be based on national standards and training packages and/or your specific requirements.
- You want and need your staff to know what to do , how to do it, and how to do it better and importantly to ensure they keep doing it as required and as they were instructed and /or trained.
- You want and need them to work to the standard and safety required, in line with YOUR workplace requirements and in line with efficiency, productivity, objectives of the organisation.
- You would LOVE for them to increase their skills and abilities, be able to undertake a wider range of tasks, work safely and effectively with others, increase and not decrease in their abilities, productivity and efficiency over time, and contribute more to the success of your team or operation.
Our range of Competency Management Programs are designed and can be tailored for you to achieve all of this and more!
