The competency-based approach is being used more and more widely in contemporary personnel management. An employee’s skills and qualities are the focus of attention in this approach, in contrast to the traditional approach which is based on work content and job descriptions, ensuring outstanding work performance.

What in actual fact are competencies, and do they, or how do they, differ from knowledge and skills? How is this approach expressed in practice and what does it mean for a company’s personnel management? How do we make our employee selection and management process more structured and more meaningful and employee work performance more outstanding?

    • I liked the fact that we were able to swap many diverse stories about examples from both everyday works as well as from complex situations. 
    • Questions about behaviour in specific situations. Constructing an interview. There is something to consider, the inspiration to make changes in everyday interviews.
    • Practical examples, structured information. I will compare them with our competency descriptions, guidelines. Localization.
