COMPETENCY CONSULTING

Recruitment, retention and development of top talent-this issue is consistently identified by CEO's as one of their top 10 concerns.

Regardless of the business environment, the industry sector you operate in, or the stage of growth your organization is in, you need to identify, attract, retain and develop the right people to drive your business forward.

Competencies are behaviours that support successful performance. Working with competencies allows you to shift the focus from the process to the outcomes. It means placing less importance on the tasks or steps involved in the jobs, and more emphasis on the results desired and achieved. Once your competencies are identified, use them to fuel your efforts in:

Recruitment. To ensure your employees possess those skills, attitudes and experiences that are relevant to your organization's success.

Performance Management. To ensure your employees are focused on demonstrating those behaviours which will enhance corporate success.

Training & Development. To ensure your training dollars and time are spent on those areas most relevant to your organization's success.

Succession Planning. To ensure sustained corporate leadership focused on those outcomes important to enhancing corporate success.

LSM Consulting has made the use of competencies into a tool which achieves these outcomes. We have increased the relevance of the initial notion of competencies through the strategic use of linkages and technology to achieve results for our clients. We have developed and implemented competencies in a wide variety of organizations of varying size, such as Canada Life, OPG, CIBC, Workopolis, Lexmark and The City of Toronto.

Let us show you how to use competencies to improve your effectiveness.
