Overview

The traditional view of Human Resources Management is that it is just an art - managing people and their feelings, and attitudes. The modern and futuristic approach is to think of HR as a Science built on principles and practices and of course - data and inferences that have been tried, tested and proven. Competencies are the demonstrable knowledge skills and behaviours that predict performance in a specific role. With Competency frameworks, the practice of HR can be made more scientific, and therefore, more effective.
