The creation and implementation of competency models are no exceptions. But just how involved should a company\u2019s stakeholders be in the talent management process?<\/p>\n<h2><b>First step: Determining the key stakeholders<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b>A company\u2019s key stakeholders are the individuals who hold a vested interest in the decision-making process of an organization, as well as in its results. This therefore involves everyone from the actual owners of the company to upper-tier management, including the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>Just as these same individuals are responsible for the success and growth of the company they manage, they cannot turn a blind eye to their most important asset, their employees, particularly with respect to hiring and retaining a workforce that is so detrimental to their top-level objectives.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The <i>why <\/i>and <i>how <\/i>of senior management\u2019s involvement<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Simply put, HR is tasked with creating a model that addresses the company\u2019s objectives and direction so at the end of the day, there is a pressing need to ensure that this model is aligned with the proper behavioral queues for the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Key stakeholders are not only invaluable resources to the competency modeling process, they are also the <i>source<\/i> of the <i>resources<\/i> HR needs to build and implement an effective model that adheres to both the company culture and mission.<\/p>\n<p>Having key stakeholders involved in the competency modeling process allows for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased trust in the model within the organization<\/li>\n<li>Complete transparency and consensus<\/li>\n<li>Considerable value added in the data collection and validation process<\/li>\n<li>Unique insight that might otherwise be missed or not considered<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, despite these benefits, involving senior management requires careful planning and a significant investment of time into a project that may be regarded to be \u201cHR\u2019s job\u201d.
