HR Competencies

Competencies affirm the expected areas and levels of performance. They tell us what is valued and rewarded. Core competencies are defined as personal traits or underlined characteristics that are combined with technical or professional skills to enable the job.  Other factors such as personal values, motivation and type of work also play their part in job performance. They are likely to feature in the discussions with the Line Manager.

A Core Competency is a knowledge, skill, or ability that contributes to the successful completion of a task on the job. All employees use multiple competencies to perform their job.
