A&I Agency HR has developed an interactive competency dictionary to support employees with the task of clearly identifying and communicating the behaviors that are necessary to be successful in a diverse range of positions. Competency dictionaries provide a common language for Human Resources, Performance Management, and Training & Development processes.
Core competencies are the behaviors that all employees within an organization are expected to demonstrate to not only be successful at their job, but to excel in carrying out the mission of the organization. The State of Wyoming Performance Management Instrument (PMI) has defined five core competencies for all employees and two additional competencies for all supervisors and managers.
Functional competencies serve as the building blocks for core competencies and describe the combinations of skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are required to succeed in a specific position. Different combinations of functional competencies may be applied across positions and occupational families; however, not every functional competency will be relevant to all positions and occupational families. Also, these functional competencies can be mapped to multiple core competencies, including those required for supervisors and managers.
This interactive competency dictionary includes definitions for each competency along with sample behavioral indicators, sample behavioral- based interview questions, and recommended resources:
