Webinar: How to Build Competency Models and Make Them a Core Part of Talent Management Efforts

South Florida ASTD is pleased to partner with the South Florida Organizational Development Network (SFLODN) to present this webinar! 

This webinar builds on the South Florida ASTD chapter meeting on April 12th, featuring competencies.

Webinar Description:

The webinar will start with a high-level overview of competency models focusing on being a team player.

Next, you will learn what competency models should link to and how, such as 360's, individual development plans, and recruiting efforts.

Take a deeper look at the critical steps in creating competency models.  Decipher the age-old questions, where do I start and it's a good competency if it does what?  Receive guidance to determine what the ideal number of competencies and items should be.  Learn what internal resources you need to use to support the success of the competency model.  After you have the model built, discover who should review and edit the competency model.

Last, but not least, discuss special topics such as customization to different functions and/or jobs.
