Competency-based job description

Competency-based job description

Competency-based job descriptions are one way to define participant roles while still allowing for evolution. Like well-written typical job descriptions, competency-based job descriptions list job title, job description, key responsibilities, and requisite and preferred education and experience. What competency-based job descriptions add is a focus on less tangible behavioral competencies. These qualities are numerous and elaborate systems developed by human resource consulting firms are available for assistance in developing competency-based job descriptions and related evaluative methods. A few examples of behavioral competencies are leadership, interpersonal communication, multicultural sensitivity, initiative, teamwork, and flexibility. Linked to each competency are indicators of how effectively employees meet each requirement. Enunciating behavioral competencies facilitates personnel selection, role comprehension, and performance evaluation
