Organizations that manage their human capital more effectively perform more successfully and hold a competitive advantage over their competitors. Managing human capital more effectively increases productivity and reduces costs. Managing human capital effectively is critical to human resources planning, recruiting, training, staffing, leadership development, organizational development and other important human resources services.
A key element of human capital management is the development and use of competency models. AS&K’s unique approach to the development of competency models ensures their extensive flexibility, integration into key business functions and facilitates management of the organization’s human capital.
Critical information about an organization’s human capital can be obtained by creating skill gap surveys based upon competency models. AS&K helps organizations develop and implement skill gap surveys to uncover and report upon human capital requirements.
AS&K is an expert in conducting job analyses and competency modeling
studies to define the critical work activities and skills required
for an organization’s success. AS&K employs a standards based
approach which incorporates a high level of rigor for identifying
job requirements and designing a human capital data model that
delineates the work performed from the skills and knowledge required
to do the work. These are called
Work Standards Models.
AS&K uses a variety of approaches to obtain job analysis information including:
AS&K’s approach is unique because our model delineates the critical work functions performed in an organization and the skills required to perform the work functions. These work functions or building blocks are then combined in different combinations to describe job titles. This “building blocks” approach is more flexible and more resistant to change than using the traditional job title approach to job analysis and competency modeling.
