Competency Assessment

“Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid.”

Competency assessment encompasses a holistic approach to employee performance, including the measurement of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and values. It enables organizations to understand the characteristics of individuals and identify the professional and personal traits required for high performance in specific job roles.

By assessing competencies, managers can identify desired behaviors, compare them to actual employee performance, and recognize the need for development, training, or other interventions.
