Competencies Instead of Jobs as the HR Foundation
Date: Thursday, November 17, 2011
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET

Should competencies be the integrative foundation for your organization’s entire HR function? Learn how 20 successful organizations decided not to follow prevailing practice but instead use competencies and skills, not jobs, as the unifying basis for compensation and talent management programs.
This webinar will explore the issues employers should consider if they choose to use competencies instead of jobs as the HR foundation, along with ways employers can facilitate the design and implementation process.
Join Pat Zingheim and Jay Schuster of Schuster-Zingheim and Associates, Inc. as they share the reasons for change, advantages, disadvantages, experiences, and lessons learned. They will help employers:
- Understand the pros and cons of using competencies as the basis for compensation and HR programs
- Decide if they should consider competencies as a unifying, integrative foundation for the HR function
- Build the business case for using competencies and skills
- Develop an approach for using competencies and skills
- Understand the process and steps involved in designing and implementing a competency-based compensation and HR program.
