This new framework can be a resource for:
-
Employees who want to identify learning opportunities. Competency models can help individuals target the unique mix of skills and knowledge they need to achieve their professional goals and support their co-op's job roles.
-
Supervisors who want to work with their employees to identify knowledge and skill gaps and build learning development plans.
-
Cooperatives to improve organizational results by aligning a competency framework to the cooperative's strategic goals and priorities. Competencies then become a workforce management tool for building job descriptions, recruiting, performance management and succession planning.
NRECA has worked with subject matter experts and member advisory groups to develop and validate competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities) in three broad categories:
- Role-Specific Competencies address specific professional and technical roles.
- Core Competencies support successful performance for ALL cooperative employees, regardless of the individual's role or expertise.
- Supervisory, Management and Leadership Competencies promote the qualities needed to engage and lead individuals and high performing teams and affect organizational results.
