  Sample of Competency-Based Learning Solutions

Organisations today face many different issues, such as leadership gaps, high turnover, decreased customer service, overworked employees, and more.

The following sample solutions help your oganisation succeed because they incorporate multiple training courses that result in a skilled workforce. Individual courses can be combined for tailored solutions or delivered separately to meet a targeted need.

Team Leadership
Leaders must be models of empowerment, trust, and collaboration. Because of the vast number of meetings required in team environments – to establish charters, reach consensus, examine improvement opportunities, etc. – leaders must be skilled in knowing when to have meetings, whom to involve, and how to conduct the meetings in the most efficient, effective manner.

Coaching for High Performance
Most organisations can’t afford a trial-and-error approach to executing their business strategies, yet that’s the way many of their leaders coach employees. Effective leaders are effective coaches who have mastered proactive and reactive coaching, dealing with performance problems, and helping employees grow and develop. The result is a more motivated, higher performing work group.

Create a Customer Focussed Environment
To succeed leaders must understand their roles as service leaders in creating an effective service culture. They need to identify enablers, barriers, actions, and clear accountabilities to support a service culture and the training required to achieve it. Finally, they must support and encourage their work groups’ efforts to form effective partnerships with internal and external customers.

Leading Rapid Change
Leaders need to be able to deal with change while also helping others adapt by quickly moving employees through the stages of change (introduction, disorientation, and integration). Leaders from all levels also must understand their role in effectively communicating what the change is and to continually gain the trust and commitment of all employees.

Selection
Organisations today cannot afford to have the wrong people in key positions. They must select the right people for the right jobs from the very start. Targeted Selection® (TS®) is the most proven and accurate behaviour-based selection system in the world. Thousands of leading companies from every industry have used TS® to build better selection systems that identify, hire, and promote top talent. Targeted Selection® is proven to help organisations identify the competencies needed for all key positions; build interviewing skills and confidence for more accurate selection decisions; and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the employee selection process.

Developing, Motivating and Retaining Talent
Investment in employee talent and a belief in the value of employee input support the theory behind high-performance work practices. Employees are most valuable when they are highly skilled and capable of making effective decisions. Leaders can learn how to plan for and guide employee development. We can help leaders coach employees through on-the-job experiences that enrich the employees’ work life and increase their value and capabilities within the organisation.
