Our Badge Journey
Every workplace role is, at the simplest level, a collection of competencies.
Every role has a unique competency combination. Every role requires different levels of competence.
What are Competencies?
Focus is on what’s needed to be successful in that role.
How are Competencies Used in Workplace?
Not every role needs every competency;
Different roles may require differing levels of proficiency within a particular competency;
Performance indicators suggest behaviors for each level; and
Competence can be mapped against a employee pipeline.
