Behavioral Competency Assessments

BEHAVIORAL COMPETENCIES ARE OBSERVABLE AND MEASURABLE BEHAVIORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS IN THE ORGANIZATION

Skill vs Competency

SKILL

Skill refers to the technical skill and ability to perform a “specific” job. Organizational Appraisal systems are built around measuring the competence required to do the job as they measure performance against KPI’s.

COMPETENCY

Competencies, on the other hand are the underlying attitudinal, behavioral and motivational factors which determine not only the current performance lags but also help to determine the future potential of a candidate.
