Overview

Competencies are the knowledge, skills and behaviors that predict future performance. As organizations seek to grow and compete in a constantly changing world, they rely on the competencies of their people. But not all organizations use these competencies to their strategic advantage.

Organizations that base their people decisions and career development on competencies—rather than job titles, tenure, or other non-skills-based characteristics—are able to align employees and their skills with their business strategies and ultimately compete more effectively. Successful organizations recognize that competencies underlie all people management solutions including talent, performance, and learning management, providing a common currency to discuss and measure talent consistently.

With Saba’s career and competency management solution, organizations are able to define the key skills and capabilities required of the workforce, and communicate these requirements to individuals and teams. Effective career planning is enabled via the ability to designate career interests on individual profiles and perform gap analyses against these interests.
