Competencies are skills and qualities that are necessary, or desirable, for an employee to possess to effectively carry out a particular role.
They can therefore be used as benchmarks to assess how skilled an individual is to carry out a particular role.
Competencies are often broken down in to:
- Technical Skills
- Non-Technical Skills
- Functional Skills
Both Technical and Non-Technical skills can be a combination of behaviours, skills and underpinning knowledge.
Competency Frameworks
