I am working with an engineering manufacturing concern and have never practiced Competency Mapping before. Can anybody provide the framework for starting the activity in my company, which has 300 staff and 400 workers on the company's payroll? I need a proper guideline to begin the mapping.

Thank you.

Dear Neha,

Competency Mapping: Evaluating Organizational Fitness

Competency mapping is an advanced HR intervention. Before you proceed with this advanced intervention, have you considered your organization's fitness for this? If yes, then on what parameters have you measured the fitness? Competency mapping should serve its purpose. The end result is increased performance—of the business as well as individuals. Many times, HR professionals get caught up in fancy HR jargon but fail to clearly specify how this intervention could help them in achieving higher business performance. It would have been helpful to provide this background information first.

Importance of a Performance Management System (PMS)

Has your organization established a sound Performance Management System (PMS)? Without a PMS, competency mapping carries no meaning. Please take note of this.

Thanks,

Thank you, Mr. Dinesh. Your knowledge and guidance will help in understanding the subject matter better. I solely handled the entire PMS, and we have a robust PMS system. I am very familiar with the company's trades and businesses. We need to implement competency mapping for compliance purposes.

Certainly, productivity will increase as job responsibilities and expectations will be clearly defined. By creating a competency mapping framework, we can attract suitable talent and anticipate the right level of responses from interviewees as well.

Competency Mapping Framework

The framework involves establishing the parameters of competencies required for various roles within respective departments. The next step should be to rank and rate these competencies according to the levels/positions of employees.

I hope to provide relevant service to the course. Kindly provide suggestions.
