Competency model or framework

consists of structures, processes and descriptions that define the learning, skills and related attributes that are required for meeting people’s work and organisational needs and goals.  Attaining high performance and organisational goals can be greatly enhanced, clarified and made more efficient by understanding, implementing, training and supporting such models or frame-works.  They can be further broken down to roles and responsibilities with specific competencies.  These can also be used to help define and support HR structures and processes such as recruitment and Performance reviews.
