Competency Feedback Solutions
HUCAMA competency feedback tools collects assessments about the employee from all the parties concerned.
Powerful personal and leadership development
For everyone to be able to do their work well, it is essential that they understand their own actions and know what they are capable of. Added to that, it is helpful to understand which competencies are important for that work and how effectively they are performed. HUCAMA competency feedback reports show what people specifically demonstrate in their work, based on the competencies relevant for the job. This knowledge can help employees to make a better contribution to their own role.
Other people’s perspective
For employees to gain an insight into what they are capable of, it is useful to get them to assess their own competencies systematically. But that only gives one perspective. To get the most balanced picture, it is certainly just as important to include the assessment of the various parties in the vicinity, such as managers, colleagues, employees and customers. They often see more elements of the employee’s performance in different situations. Differences and similarities among the various perspectives offer valuable starting points for discussions about the use and development of competencies.
