The aging workforce has created a need to find fast and reliable methods and tools for mapping competencies of professionals, in order to identify missing knowledge and take the steps to replace it. Traditional industry wisdom can become outdated. The conventional wisdom has been that the focus of training programs should be exclusively on the new hires because that is where one would find the most competency gaps. What is more likely to be true is the need for competency mapping across all job levels in an organization.
RWD has developed methodologies and tools that help address the following issues:
- Lack of Competency Skills
- Incomplete List of Competencies Required
- Employees Who Are Overqualified for Their Current Positions
- Lack of Sense of Ownership among Workers
- Lack of Fit Between Generic Competency Maps and Company Environments
- Short Shelf Life of Competency Maps Due to Rapid Organizational Changes
RWD's new visual Employee Qualifications Management System (EQMS—patent pending) includes a proprietary gap criticality ranking system. RWD can help you achieve a 20 percent reduction in the speed of identification of gaps, and a 20 percent improvement in the impact of your training interventions.
