TalentQuest Webinar Explores Competencies That Matter for Effective Talent Management
March 20 event will discuss the skills, knowledge, behaviors and abilities needed for people in key roles to succeed
Atlanta (PRWEB) March 14, 2008 -- Human capital management consulting and technology firm TalentQuest will host a webinar titled "Competencies that Matter -- Building a Foundation for Talent Management," on Thursday, March 20, from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern Time.
In the 60-minute webinar, Rick Brandt, TalentQuest President, Consulting Services, will discuss best practices for creating competencies that matter to both organizational and individual performance. He will also discuss how to introduce and best deploy the framework within the organization.
Organizations need to understand their core competency needs--the skills, knowledge, behaviors and abilities necessary for people in key roles to succeed. They then must create a process to define these skills, knowledge and organizational values that maximize effectiveness. This customized "competency framework" approach represents the intersection of business strategy, organizational culture and performance requirements and provides great clarity for individual employee expectations.
Aimed at HR professionals and business leaders, the webinar will include the following key elements of a competency framework:
- Understanding why some competency models are irrelevant to the field and everyday operations;
- Determining how many competency models a company needs;
- Defining a "valid" competency model;
- Learning tangible practices for phasing competency modeling into talent management software and effective internal communication approaches.
"If you compared building a highly effective talent management system to building a house, then the quality of the competency framework is similar to the difference in building your house on sand or on concrete," Brandt says. "Building competencies that matter can be the difference between talent systems that work and those that don't."
