Why you should attend this seminar
Competencies are now part of the standard toolkit for all HR professionals, but many organisations could be deriving far more benefit from them. If you don’t yet have a competency-based framework up and running in your organisation or if you want to extend its use – or if you simply want to benchmark your framework against current best practice – this programme is for you.
Discover how to design and review a competency-based framework to suit your organisation. Get to grips on how to convert the ‘what’ from job descriptions into the ‘how’ of competency frameworks and discover how to best define competency evidence. You will also get an insight into how to best launch the frameworks and integrate it into other HR processes such as training needs analysis.
Jocelyn Hughes has extensive experience of designing and implementing competency-based frameworks. This is your opportunity to benefit from her knowledge and experience.
