Competencies are the skills, knowledge and behaviours that lead to successful performance.
What does it mean for me?
The framework is used for recruitment, performance management and development discussions and for
decisions about progression. Your business objectives set out “what” you need to achieve over the year
and the competency framework sets out “how” you need to work to achieve those objectives.
Most of you will need to focus on a number of competencies, usually around six, identified with your
manager as being essential to your role. You are encouraged to discuss the framework with your line
manager to identify the competencies that apply most to your job role.
