Organizational Development by Competencies
Not having precise definitions of the competencies required for each position, something that often happens in many organizations today, translates into difficulties in developing the essential skills. Lack of familiarity with the organization’s development processes leads companies to underestimate the value that these processes generate, while low prioritization of strategic HR processes widens the gap between talent management and the organization’s objectives.
Having a comprehensive employee development model has become a crucial asset for companies. This allows them to cultivate the necessary skills to ensure the fulfillment of their strategic plans. Implementing strategic human resources processes is an essential element when attempting to effectively attract, retain, and develop employees. These processes need to focus on key competencies that drive organizational success.
