It will make them self-sufficient and able to capitalize on intrinsic motivation and a growth mindset. And it tells you exactly what learning content you need to close your organizational skill gaps and position it for future success.

Today we will answer a common question, How can we use competency models to develop a competency-based training program for supervisors? Like any other role, a competency model for supervisors will focus on those tasks they need to perform to achieve their part of the corporate strategy. This likely includes people management and technical/functional tasks/skills. Competency-based learning is where you map learning activities to the entire competency model.
