What exactly is a competence tool?
Today, we are going to touch a little on what we call the “Comaea Competence Tool”. We use our tool day in day out and tend to get caught up with ourselves sometimes - we have great belief in our tool (thus the loud proclamation of it being the “World’s Best” up there in the banner) - but we also realise that hey, it really is no point telling you how good it is, if we are not telling you what it is.
- A competence tool, also called a competence management tool, is any kind of software that help organisations manage the competencies of their human capital or employees.
- Comaea's software is a web-based solution, meaning that there is no installations required and all that is needed is a web browser and internet connection.
- The importance of human capital cannot be emphasised enough especially in knowledge-based organisations, thus the proper management of human capital is of similar importance. This includes more than just the administrative management; the management of the "invisibles" - competencies, skill sets, knowledge and experience is integral too.
- Here is where a competence tool comes in handy: by having a tool that can assess your organisation's competencies, suddenly the "invisibles" become "visiible" in terms of numbers, statistics and figures. With these facts, competence gap analyses can be conducted and decision making suddenly becomes much easier. Development plans, recruitment strategies and even expansion plans are now guided by factual data.
While this is a brief introduction on what exactly is a competence tool, we have also tried to touch a little on how important a competence tool can be to an organisation. Do contact us if you wish to find out more. Have a great week ahead while we continue to bring you the best of competence management. Cheers!
