“Quality not quantity counts” is a saying that even applies to business. Then it is more often the capabilities, not the size, of a workforce, which provides a company with a competitive advantage. An advantage, which is only achievable through a workforce, which has been nurtured to its full potential, and can, therefore, deliver the operational performance necessary for a company to thrive in the marketplace.
The key to such an effective workforce lies in a company’s ability to build a realistic snapshot of its workforces’ capabilities and align these to its business strategies. In other words, how efficiently a company can evaluate its employees’ competences against pre-defined job profiles and business strategies, identify gaps and through appropriate remediation measures increase its overall productivity. A process, which as it must be on-going and consistent, cannot be fulfilled by traditional methods of knowledge assessment and transfer, and therefore demands the use of modern competence management systems like the one from Comartis.
Modular in design and highly configurable, Comartis’ Human Performance Suite can quickly and cost efficiently build and implement any competence management model. At its core is a centralized system, which allows for:
The compilation of competency libraries based on standards, best practices as well as position-related, industry-specific and general soft skills requirements;
The management of blended learning programs to deliver comprehensive learning experiences to expedite knowledge transfer;
The continuous assessment and monitoring of individual employee progress and proficiency to measure knowledge retention, identity gaps and provide instant feedback;
The automation and recording of workflow processes to ensure the systematic adherence to the pre-defined procedures and to minimize potential errors and inconsistencies; and
The generation of tailored reports to gauge the effectiveness of training measures, and to allow reliable comparisons to be made in order to substantiate career and succession planning decisions.
In summary, Comartis’ Human Performance Suite can assist a company to increase its overall workforce productivity through the improved attraction, retention and utilization of talent.
