Hi membrs,
How would you defin a competency for each and every job profile? and how would some one quantify the soft skills behaciours which forms a major part of the performance like communication skill negotiation skeill etc?

HI,
Its not practically possible to define a competency for each and every job profile. there are some generic behavioral competencies that apply for all job profile but their importance may form job to job. Interpersonal skills,
Result orientation, Planning & Organising to name a few.
Quantifying the soft skills behaviors is very difficult. It tends to become very subjective. Hence its very important to define to expected behavior for each competency & at each level.

hi
Thanks a lot for the inputs..I have planned to identify the core competencies for the managerial cadre and do a 360 degree appraisal for mapping...is this approach correct ? Will it turn out to be good??

Hi Ramya
360 degree assessment can be one of the methodologies to assess the competency levels. But this cannot be the only method for assessing the competencies
Since am not sure of the maturity levels of your company, cannot confirm the applicability of 360 degree assessment
Identifying competencies - the methods can be multiple such as
= interview
= focus groups
= senior management inputs
Mapping is to be done after presribing the standards of performance for evey levels - competencies for various roles needs to be defined wherein the levels of competeny requiremens for various roles differ
Once you identify the competencies and assess the same, map the same with the established the pre defined standards to identify the gaps
Hope this helps

DEAR PREETI,
FIRST OF ALL LOOK AT THIS PPT.
TRAINEE LEVEL ALSO SHOULD EXHIBIT CERTAIN MANAGERIAL COMPETENCIES THAT NEED TO BE APPRAISED.
REGARDS,
DR.PRAGEETHA

Each competency model has to revolve around the specific needs and roles of the function and the organization.
So your definitions will stem from your policy, structure and role maps.
For a Trainee, more of these will be on the requirements/expectations from a trainee which would be broadly
Learning Orientation
Result Orientation
Teamwork....
For dimensional understanding, use BARS.
There are many such presentations available but would be better if you read up on the subject yourself

Dear Madam,
Thank you for the PPT. Although I am already through with my project, the PPT has cleared my concepts even more.
Thanks again.
Regards
Preeti
