Different Competencies
Because competencies can be developed for practically any position, there is a great diversity of
categories within the competency frameworks. However, there are many organisations that use the
following three types of competencies:
Core Competencies
Core competencies refer to the areas where the organisation is looking to gain a competitive advantage.
A company’s organisational means and strategic advantages combined with desired knowledge and
technical capacities are the factors that distinguish a company from others.
Most companies don’t limit themselves to only one core competence. These competencies also vary
based on the sector the company operates in. Hospitals focus on medical expertise and patient care,
whereas a health information agency focuses on the development and health of people.
Behavioural Competencies
Behavioural competencies are more specific than the core competencies that apply to the competencies
and capacities of the organisation as a whole. The behavioural competencies often form the basis for
assessment interviews that are conducted annually and must therefore be defined in a specific and
measurable context. As a result, the degree of expertise and development of talent can be validated.
In short, behavioural competencies can be defined as the strengths and weaknesses of people within the
organisation. For an HR manager, it’s difficult to measure these competencies because there’s no clear
method to establish them. Nevertheless, they are important and play a crucial role in personnel planning,
recruitment and development.
Individual behavioural competencies encompass personal qualities such as decisiveness, analytical skills
and critical thinking. Analytical competencies can subsequently be subdivided into data analysis, problem-
solving ability and the extent to which a person can easily work with numbers.
Interpersonal competencies may include aspects such as the extent to which someone is a team player,
has communicative skills, conflict management and whether someone is capable of boosting harmony on
the workfloor.
Functional Competencies
Functional competencies refer to the competencies that directly influence the daily activities that
employees will conduct and often include behavioural competencies. Because these function-specific
competencies recur daily or regularly, they are often deemed to be very important. Functional
competencies are also regularly referred to as technical or operational competencies. Examples include:
risk analysis, data analysis, keeping a database, machine management, etc.
Cross-functional competencies are competencies that aren’t directly selected for the position, but are still
very important for carrying out related tasks. These could include: advancing teamwork, lowering costs,
increasing effectiveness, boosting motivation, etc.
Confidential Information – For Internal Use Only
When working for the organisation, it’s important that employees learn and grow in the position they
practise to encourage engagement and motivation. Unused potential can be developed with competency
frameworks.
As a result, employees are enabled to assess themselves based on the skill requirements for the position
or possible future position. After it has been established that new skills must be developed, they can
submit a request to their manager for the opportunity of self-development.
