Competency Management

TalentQuest’s Competency Management solutions offer the following benefits:

  • Lower development costs
  • Efficient and consistent integration with other TalentQuest talent and performance management modules
  • A central location to store and update competency models

Recent developments in the application of technology to manage talent will continue to impact initiatives like competency modeling. Until recently, technology was limited and addressed most human capital management activities independently. Nowadays, applications are integrating job descriptions, competency models, performance assessments and development opportunities into a single system enabling data sharing. The result is a much more efficient and effective approach to managing talent.

TalentQuest’s Competency Management module gives organizations the ability to define a set of behaviors – or core competencies – that drive successful job and organizational performance. These competencies then form a foundation for assessing employee effectiveness through performance appraisals, 360° feedback surveys, and succession planning.

TalentQuest’s Competency Management module enables organizations to:

  • Use an existing model from our extensive library or develop customized models reflecting your culture and specific needs
  • Create, store and edit a top-level core competency model, as well as position or job-specific competency models
  • Integrate with learning management systems or use TalentQuest’s Developmental Resource and Coaching Tip Library to create individual development plans
  • Consistently apply competency models to conduct performance appraisals, 360° feedback surveys and succession planning
