The process you will learn is based on the original job competence assessment methodology developed in the 1970’s by Dr. David McClelland and the consultants at McBer and Company. It is a validated, accurate and objective method to predicting job performance, and requires a systematic and rigorous collection of data about the performance of the superior performers in a job, and on the competencies needed to produce that performance.

What participants say about the workshop

This comprehensive three-day workshop arms attendees with the information they need to develop competency models to improve hiring decisions, increase productivity and enhance organizational performance.

Competencies count:

1. Research suggests that the cost of a bad hire can range from one to five times of that position’s annual salary—for a $50,000/year employee that can mean as much as $250,000.

2. A study of the productivity value between average and superior performers showed that, in highly complex jobs, the output of a superior performer was 48% greater than an average performer. Think of how much more your top salesperson sells than an “average” salesperson. $100,000...$500,000... $1,000,000... More?

HR professionals can have a direct, bottom-line impact on their organizations’ hiring costs, productivity levels and outputs by developing and implementing competency models based on a proven approach that gets results. Building Competency Models will give you all the information you need to develop and implement a results-oriented competency model.
