For years, professional competencies have been explored to ensure effective talent management. Effective talent management using competencies results in the attainment of organizational objectives while determining strategy for future operations. Too often, talent management through competencies is overlooked in the HR department. Although required to build and validate competencies for other jobs, HR professionals are frequently overlooked without a standard valid competency model to structure career progressions. HR competencies are as critical as, if not more than, the competencies of other professionals.HR competency modeling results in a strategic workforce providing workforce planning for the organization as a whole. During this session, we will examine the link between long-term workforce planning and competencies. Then, we will review the importance of HR competencies and how competencies play a part in driving organizational strategy. You will work together to underline the most critical competencies needed for success in HR, as well as focus efforts to design a strategy for garnering these competencies across your organization.
