Competencies and competency models may be applicable to all employees in an organization or they may be position specific. Competencies are also what people need to be successful in their jobs. Job competencies are not the same as job task. Competencies include all the related knowledge, skills, abilities, and attributes that form a person's job. This set of context-specific qualities is correlated with superior <a href="/wiki/Job_performance" title="Job performance">job performance</a> and can be used as a standard against which to measure job performance as well as to develop, recruit, and hire employees. </p><p>Competencies provide organizations with a way to define in behavioral terms what it is that people need to do to produce the results that the organization desires, in a way that is in keep with its culture. By having competencies defined in the organization, it allows employees to know what they need to be productive. When properly defined, competencies, allows organizations to evaluate the extent to which behaviors employees are demonstrating and where they may be lacking. For competencies where employees are lacking, they can learn. This will allow organizations to know potentially what resources they may need to help the employee develop and learn those competencies. Competencies can distinguish and differentiate an organization from competitors. While two organizations may be alike in financial results, the way in which the results were achieve could be different based on the competencies that fit their particular strategy and <a href="/wiki/Organizational_culture" title="Organizational culture">organizational culture</a>. Lastly, competencies can provide a structured model that can be used to integrate management practices throughout the organization.

As competencies apply to careers as well as jobs, lifelong competency development is linked with <a href="/wiki/Personal_development" title="Personal development">personal development</a> as a management concept. And it requires a special environment, where the rules are necessary in order to introduce novices, but people at a more advanced level of competency will systematically break the rules if the situations requires it. This environment is synonymously described using terms such as <a href="/wiki/Learning_organization" title="Learning organization">learning organization</a>, knowledge creation, self-organizing and <a href="/wiki/Empowerment" title="Empowerment">empowerment</a>. </p><p>Within a specific organization or professional community, professional competency is frequently valued. They are usually the same competencies that must be demonstrated in a job interview. But today there is another way of looking at it: that there are general areas of occupational competency required to retain a post, or earn a promotion. For all organizations and communities there is a set of primary tasks that competent people have to contribute to all the time. For a university student, for example, the primary tasks could be handling theory, methods or the information of an assignment. </p><p>In emergencies, competent people may react to a situation following behaviors they have previously found successful. To be competent a person would need to be able to interpret the situation in the context and have a repertoire of possible actions to take. Being sufficiently trained in each possible action included in their repertoire can make a great difference. Regardless of training, competency grows through experience and the extent of an individual's capacity to learn and adapt.

For example, organizations that tend to hire or promote solely on the basis of technical skills, i.e. to the exclusion of other competencies, may experience an increase in performance-related issues (e.g. systems software designs versus relationship management skills)</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Examples_of_competences">Examples of competences</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Competence_(human_resources)&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Examples of competences"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Here are some examples of competences:<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <dl><dt>Attention to detail</dt> <dd>Is alert in a high-risk environment; follows detailed procedures and ensures accuracy in documentation and data; carefully monitors gauges, instruments or processes; concentrates on routine work details; organizes and maintains a system of records.</dd> <dt>Commitment to safety</dt> <dd>Understands, encourages and carries out the principles of integrated safety management; complies with or oversees the compliance with Laboratory safety policies and procedures; completes all required ES&H training; takes personal responsibility for safety.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd> <dt>Communication</dt> <dd>Writes and speaks effectively, using conventions proper to the situation; states own opinions clearly and concisely; demonstrates openness and honesty; listens well during meetings and feedback sessions; explains reasoning behind own opinions; asks others for their opinions and feedback; asks questions to ensure understanding; exercises a professional approach with others using all appropriate tools of communication; uses consideration and tact when offering opinions.</dd> <dt>Cooperation/teamwork</dt> <dd>Works harmoniously with others to get a job done; responds positively to instructions and procedures; able to work well with staff, co-workers, peers and managers; shares critical information with everyone involved in a project; works effectively on projects that cross functional lines; helps to set a tone of cooperation within the work group and across groups; coordinates own work with others; seeks opinions; values working relationships; when appropriate facilitates discussion before decision-making process is complete.</dd> <dt>Customer service</dt> <dd>Listens and responds effectively to customer questions; resolves customer problems to the customer's satisfaction; respects all internal and external customers; uses a team approach when dealing with customers; follows up to evaluate customer satisfaction; measures customer satisfaction effectively; commits to exceeding customer expectations.</dd> <dt>Flexibility</dt> <dd>Remains open-minded and changes opinions on the basis of new information; performs a wide variety of tasks and changes focus quickly as demands change; manages transitions from task to task effectively; adapts to varying customer needs.</dd> <dt>Job knowledge/technical knowledge</dt> <dd>Demonstrates knowledge of techniques, skills, equipment, procedures and materials.

A job competency model is a comprehensive, behaviorally based job description that both potential and current employees and their managers can use to measure and manage performance and establish development plans. Often there is an accompanying visual representative competency profile as well. </p><p>One of the most common pitfalls that organizations stumble upon is that when creating a competency model they focus too much on job descriptions instead the behaviors of an employee. Experts say that the steps required to create a competency model include: </p> <ol><li>Gathering information about job roles.</li> <li>Interviewing subject matter experts to discover current critical competencies and how they envision their roles changing in the future.</li> <li>Identifying high-performer behaviors.</li> <li>Creating, reviewing (or vetting) and delivering the competency model.</li></ol> <p>Once the competency model has been created, the final step involves communicating how the organization plans to use the competency model to support initiatives such as recruiting, performance management, career development, succession planning as well as other HR business processes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Competence_(human_resources)&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Circle_of_competence" title="Circle of competence">Circle of competence</a> – The subject area which matches a person's skills or expertise</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Competency_architecture" title="Competency architecture">Competency architecture</a> – Framework of skills used in competency-based learning</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Competency_dictionary" title="Competency dictionary">Competency dictionary</a> – Competency within an organization</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect" title="Dunning–Kruger effect">Dunning–Kruger effect</a> – Cognitive bias about one's own skill, the tendency for incompetent people to grossly overestimate their skills</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Outline_of_business_management" title="Outline of business management">Outline of business management</a> – Overview of and topical guide to business management</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Personal_development" title="Personal development">Personal development</a> – Activities that develop a person's capabilities and potential</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Performance_appraisal" title="Performance appraisal">Performance appraisal</a> – Method to document and evaluate an employee's job performance</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Performance_improvement" title="Performance improvement">Performance improvement</a> – Business improvement process</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Peter_principle" title="Peter principle">Peter principle</a> – Management concept by Laurence J.
