Our Services

Job Profiling and Competence Assessment
Job analysis is the cornerstone of Human Resources interventions. This is a fundamental truth which has far-reaching implications relating to how staff are managed and treated in organisations.

The services offered extend to profiling jobs from a competence perspective, crafting job profiles and performance outcomes as well as a learning curriculum for the position using the critical cross field education and training outcomes used within the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Jobs can also be evaluated and job graded and the methodology employed allows positions to be described in terms of NQF levels. Finally, candidates and/or job incumbents can be assessed for potential. Possible uses of the assessment include the following:

»
  Making of Recruitment and Selection Decisions;
»
Decisions Regarding Potential for Promotion;
»
Employment Equity Planning;
»
Developing of a Potential Inventory;
»
  Performance Management

Performance Management and Improvement
Employees are expected to perform to standards of performance set for them by their employer and which assists the organisation to satisfy its objectives. Yet performance management is not often embarked on in the context of the organisational strategy or is seen as a separate, independent activity which managers must complete.

Services offered in this regard include the following:

»
  Development of integrated performance management strategies;

»
Development of performance management tools and systems;
