COMMON STEPS IN
COMPETENCY MAPPING
First Step:
A job analysis is carried out by asking
employees to fill in a questionnaire that
asks them to describe what they are
doing, and what skills, attitudes and
abilities they need to have to perform it
well. There would be a bit that requests
them to list down attributes needed to
make it up to the next level, thus
making it behavioural as well as skill-
based.

COMPETENCY MAPPING
Second Step:
Having discovered the similarities in
the questionnaires, a competency-
based job description is crafted and
presented to the personnel
department for their agreement and
additions if any.

Third Step:
Having agreed on the job requirements
and the skills and attitudes needed to
progress within it and become more
productive, one starts mapping the
capability of the employees to the
benchmarks. An almost (but not quite)
arbitrary level of attainment is noted
against each benchmark indicating the
areas where the assessee is in terms of
personal development and achievement.
COMMON STEPS IN
COMPETENCY MAPPING
These give HR manager a fairly good picture of
the employee to see whether he (or she) needs to
perform better or to move up a notch on the
scale. Once the employee `tops' every indicator at
his level, he moves on to the next and begins
there at the bottom - in short, he is promoted.
It helps in determining the training and
development needs and importantly it helps to
encourage the best and develop the rest. A win-
win situation for everyone.
