Competency Frameworks Consultancy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our approach to creating competency frameworks leads to high performance and staff retention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of us have experienced unclear expectations in the workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have a Competency Framework in place, your people won\u2019t know what\u2019s expected and your managers will lack effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Let\u2019s Talk Talent we take into account how your strategy, culture and behaviours are linked to your values. This way we can help you create actionable competencies to drive organisational performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re big proponents of keeping competency frameworks simple and actionable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we love using the STAR model as we know that articulating the essential skills, training, relationships and attributes of your employees gives your company an enviable level of clarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why competency frameworks are vital to your employee experience <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe competency frameworks are the lynchpin that should pull together every single pillar of your employee lifecycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are the perfect tool to use in order to provide staff with absolute clarity on how to be successful with you, and create the kind of benchmark that will allow you to unlock your people\u2019s full potential and drive high performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, we\u2019ve had plenty of experience creating, revamping and refining competency frameworks for a large variety of clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve come to know what works well; that\u2019s why we\u2019ve developed our very own, and ever so different, approach to creating dynamic competency frameworks that generate great results, whatever the issue you\u2019re trying to solve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Beyond a basic skill set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Competency frameworks are an essential tool to help managers articulate to their team members what they need to do to be successful within the organisation, how they need to do it and how they can navigate their careers with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are not a job description, a list of generic skills or even a list of really technical skills. Competency frameworks go much further than that. Sure, they encompass the skills, but also the training, the behaviours and the relationships needed in order to succeed within the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this doesn\u2019t mean they have to be complex, long, or left on a shelf until annual performance reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Clear frameworks support motivated staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People want to feel motivated in the workplace and be able to see a clear path of how to get ahead. Avoiding a demotivated workforce hinges on being transparent which will give your people; clarity on what is expected of them, what they need to do, and how they need to do it in order to perform well and be successful within the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy right? Yes, and no. How can you determine exactly what is expected of an employee, when everyone\u2019s expectations may vary? How can you create a work environment that is inclusive, encourages the right behaviours and attitudes, and allows you to recruit the right staff and keep the right staff? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, how do you get started to get, keep and grow brilliant people?<\/p>\n<\/div>

Modernising outdated frameworks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Competency frameworks do have a bad rep. Dating back from the 1960s, they were initially used in organisations with a more hierarchical structure, at a time where personal development plans were based on long-term linear career trajectories. But the world of work has changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies can no longer rely on recruiting lifelong employees and investing in them years in advance to take on bigger roles. And people no longer want to wait around for specific seats to become vacant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we think competency models can be a fantastic tool. But like everything else, they have to be maintained and adapted along the way. It\u2019s only natural for a tool that\u2019s been around for decades to get a makeover and transition towards a more agile and fluid corporate world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    What are Competency Frameworks?<\/strong>

    They are essential for organisations because they provide employees with clear guidance on how to be successful and advance within the organisation. They are the foundation for benchmarking performance and unlocking employees’ full potential, leading to high performance and staff retention. By encompassing not only skills but also training, behaviours, and relationships, these frameworks enable organisations to create a transparent work environment and recruit, retain, and develop the right talent. Competency Frameworks ensure employees know what is expected of them and how to perform effectively within the business.<\/p> <\/div>

    Who are competency frameworks for?<\/strong>

    Competency Frameworks are designed for organisations looking to enhance their performance, staff retention, and employee experience. These frameworks are valuable for HR professionals, managers, and executives seeking to provide employees with clear expectations, enhance motivation, and create a positive work environment. But more importantly, they also help individuals at all levels clearly understand what is expected of them and helps guide them to higher levels of performance and achievement within their careers.<\/p> <\/div>

    How do competency frameworks work?<\/strong>

    Competency Frameworks have evolved to adapt to the changing nature of work. In the past, they were associated with long-term linear career trajectories, but today’s dynamic job market requires a more agile and fluid approach. Organisations can modernise outdated competency models by maintaining and adapting them over time to align with their current needs and goals. These frameworks should be used as tools for articulating performance expectations and providing employees with clear career paths, fostering motivation and retention in a rapidly changing corporate world.<\/p> <\/div>
