"Competency Observation Template"

This Competency Observation template allows you to record in greater detail how and when an individual displayed the required competencies as identified in their last appraisal. You can define the circumstances in which the competency was displayed in e.g. significant incident, meeting etc. and note whether it resulted in a positive or negative outcome. You can then use this form as supporting evidence during your regular and annual appraisal meetings.

The job of a manager includes many different facets. One of the most important areas that a manager must excel in is placing employees in the right position so that their abilities are used to their maximum potential. To do that successfully, a manager must properly evaluate the competencies of each and every member of their staff. This job is often easier said than done, and is something that can slip through the cracks if not given specific attention. If you are a manager that has a support staff responsible for accomplishing a certain set of tasks, correctly measuring the competencies of each and every team member will give you the best chance of success.

Unfortunately, many managers stop the process of evaluating an employee the day they are hired. In fact, that is the day the evaluation should start - and it should never end. As people gain experience over time, their talents and competencies are likely to change. A good manager will note those changes and make sure to adapt accordingly. Get started right away by making a list of the competencies you need to find in your team of employees, and set about locating each of them so your team can become the cohesive unit it needs to be in order to succeed.
