How do competencies relate to the EPDS process?
The EPDS process has been developed to focus attention on two complimentary aspects of workplace performance. The first aspect of performance involves working with your supervisor to set goals that align individual work goals with organizational business objectives – this is the ‘what’ component of the EPDS. The second aspect of performance considered in the EPDS process identifies workplace behaviors that directly support achieving results. These behaviors – or competencies – address the question of ‘how’ results are achieved. Individual agencies will choose a competency profiles that specifically relate to their organization or to jobs within their organization.
