Why are competency models (and job analyses) useful for employees?
Competencies help employees to: • Become familiar with what is expected in the job, including the necessary behaviors to perform and the steps needed to improve performance • Discuss strengths with one’s supervisor, as well as areas for improvement, recommended training, and developmental activities • Understand the competencies expected in a new job, particularly those needed in supervisory or managerial positions, or for changing careers
