Webinar Wrap Up -- Everything you wanted to know about Competencies, (but were afraid to ask)


A few days ago, Lorraine McKay, HRSG’s Senior VP of Business Development, led a webinar that highlighted some real life examples of the role that competencies play in talent management. To download the recording of the webinar, you can follow this link.

This lively webinar focused on real-life examples of what competencies are and how they are used as part of a talent management program.  When competencies are used as part of an overall talent management strategy, they can translate the organizations strategic vision into specific employee behaviors which will have a direct impact on the overall business results.

And that is not even the best part. When you use competencies, you are giving your employees a roadmap that shows them how their behaviors or actions can contribute to the strategic vision and goals of the organization. When you involve your workforce in the vision of the organization, they become more than just employees – they become partners.

In case you missed it, here is that link again to the webinar. Have a listen, review the slides.
