Human Capital Services acquired through a request for proposal a global competency framework through Korn Ferry® to integrate into the full employee life cycle at Kansas State University. A research-based competency library establishes a foundation so we do not have to focus our resources on reinventing the wheel.
What does a competency framework provide? A competency framework will establish common language among employees to identify and utilize skills and behaviors required for success. This will assist HCS in achieving key outcomes for K-State 2025’s career architecture strategy including identifying competencies, implementing career ladders, performance management, and career development.
What are competencies? Competencies are observable and measurable skills and behaviors that contribute to workplace effectiveness and career success.
