Why use a competency job profile?
For disability community service organisation (CSO) industry
For the Disability Community Service Organisation (CSO) industry the widespread use of Competency Job Profiles will:
- Assist staff to move between different organisations because their skills and qualifications will be more easily recognised,
- Allow staff to continue to build professionally recognised skills and qualifications even when they move to a different type of organisation within the disability sector,
- Assist trainers and learning providers to customise training to the context and work practises of the community disability sector, and
- Reduce the turnover of staff, as a result of more effective recruitment, training and performance management. This will reduce costs associated with high staff turnover. Accepted evidence demonstrates that the cost of replacing an employee is between 75% and 150% of that employee’s annual salary.
National Training Packages integrate national competency standards, qualifications and assessment guidelines. This creates a single recognisable framework of skills and qualifications. When organisations use Units of Competency internally as part of their human resources management framework they link their employees to the nationally recognised framework of training and skills assessment.
