The Persis Competency Management module

As your business goals change, why shouldn’t your employees? Many companies have no idea what competencies are presently in demand or already exist in their workforce. Normally these firms are able to determine their current state only by examining the skills of their current employees. However, proper competency management requires that competencies necessary for future projects and jobs be determined and staff be utilized and promoted accordingly. And often times you find that the competencies you need are not “on board” at all. For this, the Persis eRecruitment module can help you create the prerequisites necessary to grow your human resources and create a comprehensive competency management system.

We believe talent management is a process that must be executed in the context of competency management. Only with a focused strategy can you identify and develop the talents important to your company. We are also convinced that talent management, a concept that is so frequently thrown around in the press and in software advertising, is actually subordinate to competency management. Our talent management module offers a practical and consistent system, which meets and adjusts to customer requirements and strategies perfectly.

Take for example the automobile industry, in which a rapid change from welding to bonding occurred almost overnight. If the skill sets had not been up and running at the cross-over, the welders would have been forced to perform bonding activities, for which they were not trained. This of course is not how things should work, or rather only in a very select cases does this work, if the appropriate planning and monitoring has been performed from the outset. The Persis competency management module ensures that your staff competencies will be optimally transformed and aligned with your company’s strategic direction. The welding talents of yesterday are of far less "value" today. You see... your company’s orientation always determines which talents are relevant to its success.

The Persis competency management module consists of several components, which are used in combination one another and can be custom-tailored for greater synchronization and thus will accommodate the needs of the individual customer. The modules can be used to train and hence promote and retain employees just as you would use them in the context of personnel selection. You can use the modules during employee meetings, while drafting job descriptions and to define competencies and families of jobs as well as compare these with one another.

The Persis competency management system employs a single competence model in all its processes; all processes are conducted under on standard, and thus these processes do not collide. Competencies may become irrelevant in time and new skills may emerge as important. Your timeline is crucial! Changes to requirements or appraisals are always passed on to all downstream processes. As an HR department, you have a direct overview of all processes and results. We placed particular emphasis on keeping the entire system manageable for all users (e.g., PE, managers, employees). Persis is not just easy to use, but also highly efficient.
