Comp Mapping

Competency mapping identifies an individual's strengths and weaknesses to help them understand themselves better and identify where to direct career development efforts. It is a process that identifies key competencies for an organization or job and incorporates them into processes like job evaluation, training, and recruitment. The process involves job experts rating competency requirements and employees self-reporting to map their results against the ideal competency template. Competency mapping is useful for both individuals and organizations to define position requirements and identify training needs.

Competency Mapping

Competencies.
Identifying competencies is the basis for HR planning. It provides the framework for individual training and development, career planning and training needs analysis.

Competency Mapping
Competency mapping identifies an individuals strengths and weaknesses in order to help them better understand themselves and to show them where career development efforts need to be directed. It is a process of identifying key competencies for an organization and/or a job and incorporating those competencies throughout the various processes (i.e. job evaluation, training, recruitment) of the organization.

Process
Role Profiling or job analysis tools help companies extract knowledge of core competency requirements from internal experts and allows the company to have any number of job expert raters contribute ratings on a standard competency scale for any job title or position. The accumulated ratings are transformed into a composite template defining the ideal competency set for that position. Employees or job applicants then complete a self-report version and their results are mapped against the template.

Competency Mapping with end result of Job evaluation


Conduct a job analysis by asking applicants to complete a position information questionnaire(PIQ). This can be provided for applicants to complete, or can conduct oneon-one interviews using the PIQ as a guide.
Using the results of the job analysis, develop a competency based job description. After careful analysis competencies are compared against the standard ones.

Using competencies will help guide one to perform more objective evaluations based on displayed or not displayed behaviors. The results of evaluation helps to identify in what competencies individuals need additional development or training. This will help you focus your training needs on the goals of the position and company and help your employees develop toward the ultimate success of the organization.

Strengths
Helps the companies to determine gaps. Contacts between employees and employers may increase mutual appreciation. Integrates activities of all the departments towards a common goal.

Weaknesses
Time-consuming to review each department. Not Assessing the Results Accurately.

Believing the Map is the Ultimate Goal.

Conclusion..
Competency Mapping is useful not only from the individual but also from organisations point of view as it defines the competencies required for the position.

It can be undertaken through psychological testing. However it is an area which is least explored in India and thus many Indian companies are unaware of this trend.
