COMPETENCY- an introduction

• The word competency is derived from Latin word "Competere" which means 'to be suitable‘.

• Competency is an underlying skill, personal characteristics, or motive demonstrated by various observable behaviours that contribute to outstanding performance in a job.

• Competency is the combination of knowledge, skills, and attributes (more historically called KSA’s).

Use of Competency• Defining the factors for success in jobs (i.e., work) and work

roles within the organization.

• Assessing the current performance and future development needs of Persons holding jobs and roles.

• Mapping succession possibilities for employees within the organization.

• Assigning compensation grades and levels to particular jobs and roles

Objective of the Study:

• To study and understand the Competency mapping system at NALCO.

• To develop competency Mapping system across various departments.

COMPETENCY MAPPING PROCESS AT NALCO

• The competency mapping process was started in Nalco towards the end of 2002.

• NALCO has developed a Competency Dictionary for the same.

• Competency gaps are filled through various methods like counselling, supervision, monitoring of targets, job rotation, guidance of experts, knowledge building through reading books, journals and working with a skilled person to learn the competency.

Purpose

• To enhance the individual skill level.

• To meet ISO 9001:2000 revision requirement.

Conclusion

• Initially competency mapping was studied across all the departments in Nalco (Marketing, Finance, HRD, TQM, System and Materials)

• The Competency mapping was done mainly for the Top management i.e. reporting and reviewing officers (E5-E7) and mainly includes the Deputy General Manager, Chief Manager & Senior Manager. But later on the study boiled down only to the Marketing department.

• Once the competencies are determined, proper training can be provided to the individuals to work more efficiently on the processes.

• NALCO is proving training on the fields where there is a gap between the

actual and the desired results. • If the competencies are determined for the given job, then the person

whose career panning phase is taking place can consider those competencies and can be ready for the same. The individual is preparing himself for the next set of responsibilities.
