By Noelle Murphy, Brightmine Senior HR Practice Editor
A competency is generally defined as a behaviour or skill that an individual needs to exhibit to perform a job effectively. Competencies are used across a broad range of people management activities, including performance management, recruitment and selection, training and development, and pay and grading structures. For example, one competency for a management role could be: “Leadership: provides clear leadership consistent with the organisational strategy”.
