Introduction“The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to

Bharath University Competency Mapping
INTRODUCTION
Competency mapping is a process through which one assesses and determines one’s
strengths as an individual worker and in some cases, as part of an organization. It
generally examines two areas: emotional intelligence or emotional quotient (EQ), and
strengths of the individual in areas like team structure, leadership, and decision-making.
Large organizations frequently employ some form of competency mapping to understand
how to most effectively employ the competencies of strengths of workers. They may also
use competency mapping to analyze the combination of strengths in different workers to
produce the most effective teams and the highest quality work.
Competency mapping can also be done for contract or freelance workers, or for those
seeking employment to emphasize the specific skills which would make them valuable to
a potential employer. These kinds of skills can be determined, when one is ready to do
the work, by using numerous books on the subject. One of the most popular ones is Now;
Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, initially published
in 2001.
Buckingham and Clifton’s book, and others like it, practice competency mapping through
testing, having the person sift through past work experiences, and by analyzing learning
types. However, the disadvantage to using a book alone is that most people may have a
few blind spots when they analyze their own competency. Their perception of how others
react to them may not be accurate.
The value of competency mapping and identifying emotional strengths is that many
employers now purposefully screen employees to hire people with specific competencies.
They may need to hire someone who can be an effective time leader or who has
demonstrated great active listening skills. Alternately, they may need someone who
enjoys taking initiative or someone who is very good at taking direction. When
Kavita Poddar 11
Bharath University Competency Mapping
individuals must seek new jobs, knowing one’s competencies can give one a competitive
edge in the job market.
Usually, a person will find themselves with strengths in about five to six areas.
Sometimes an area where strengths are not present is worth developing. In other cases,
competency mapping can indicate finding work that is suited to one’s strengths, or
finding a department at one’s current work where one's strengths or needs as a worker
can be exercised.
A problem with competency mapping, especially when conducted by an organization is
that there may be no room for an individual to work in a field that would best make use
of his or her competencies. If the company does not respond to competency mapping by
reorganizing its employees, then it can be of little short-term benefit and may actually
result in greater unhappiness on the part of individual employees. A person identified as
needing to learn new things in order to remain happy might find himself or herself in a
position where no new training is ever required. If the employer cannot provide a position
for an employee that fits him or her better, competency mapping may be of little use.
However, competency mapping can ultimately serve the individual who decides to seek
employment in an environment where he or she perhaps can learn new things and be
more intellectually challenged. Being able to list competencies on resumes and address
this area with potential employers may help secure more satisfying work. This may not
resolve issues for the company that initially employed competency mapping, without
making suggested changes. It may find competency mapping has produced dissatisfied
workers or led to a high worker turnover rate.
Competency Mapping is a process of identifies key competencies for an organization
and/or a job and incorporating those competencies throughout the various processes (i.e.
job evaluation, training, recruitment) of the organization. To ensure we are both on the
same page, we would define a competency as a behavior (i.e. communication, leadership)
rather then a skill or ability.
Kavita Poddar 12
Bharath University Competency Mapping
The steps involved in competency mapping with an end result of job evaluation
include the following:-
1) Conduct a job analysis by asking incumbents to complete a position information
questionnaire (PIQ). This can be provided for incumbents to complete, or you can
conduct one-on-one interviews using the PIQ as a guide. The primary goal is to gather
from incumbents what they feel are the key behaviors necessary to perform their
respective jobs.
2) Using the results of the job analysis, you are ready to develop a competency based job
description. A sample of a competency based job description generated from the PIQ may
be analyzed. This can be developed after carefully analyzing the input from the
represented group of incumbents and converting it to standard competencies.
3) With a competency based job description, you are on your way to begin mapping the
competencies throughout your human resources processes. The competencies of the
respective job description become your factors for assessment on the performance
evaluation. Using competencies will help guide you to perform more objective
evaluations based on displayed or not displayed behaviors.
4) Taking the competency mapping one step further, you can use the results of your
evaluation to identify in what competencies individuals need additional development or
training. This will help you focus your training needs on the goals of the position and
company and help your employees develop toward the ultimate success of the
organization.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Definition-BPO
“Delegation of one or more business process to an external provider who, in turn, owns,
administers, and manages the selected process (es) [together with the IT system that
support it], based upon defined and measurable performance” – Gartner
Business Process Outsourcing handles jobs such as front office and back office
outsourcing. Front office outsourcing work deals with tasks that include technical
support, customer service, marketing and advertising. Back office processes include
payroll, billing, logistics and human resources. Some companies offer their services in
collections, credit analysis and job recruitment, financial and administration processes,
human resources functions, call center and customer service activities and accounting.
Outsourcing dealings are performed frequently on the basis of multi-year contracts.
Hundreds of millions of dollars worth dealings are under taken usually in outsourcing.
International companies such as US based IBM, Accenture, and Hewitt Associates, as
well as European and Asian companies Capgemini, Genpact, TCS, Wipro and Infosys are
investing huge amounts and hiring labors from other countries for tackling their work
loads and clients service.
BPO Industry in India
Business process outsourcing requires the hiring of a third party to carry out another
company’s work. Large multinational companies and international countries like US and
European countries are in search of a well suitable country that can be used for
outsourcing. Well these investing countries have to find an outsourcing person, who is
basically ready to work with high perfection and at less cost. Business process
Kavita Poddar 23
Bharath University Competency Mapping
outsourcing companies are flooding into countries like India and China and have already
started to establish their concerns rapidly.
BPO companies are established mainly due to cost considerations and also simply
because they do not have the expertise to deal with certain aspects of business. Many
companies have come under the trends of offering BPO jobs to cut costs. Companies in
western countries, particularly the United States, are finding that countries like India offer
the services they need at an excellent price. This is due to the fact that many of these
countries have a well educated labour pool, high unemployment rates and a low cost of
living.
In India, such BPO trends have been recently started and have increased approximately
63% in the market in 2006. Indian revenues from BPO are estimated to have grown 107
per cent to $ 583 million. Up to 35,000 people are currently employed in BPO industries
in India till march 31 2002.This rate would have increased triple amount in the fore
coming years. This rapid growth is because of cheap labour and employees are better
educated here than the higher-paid workers in the US and other Western countries.
India has now become the most popular country as a BPO. Many towns have turned into
big cities after the establishment of such BPO trends. Cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad,
Chennai, Noida and Delhi are all the major attractions of BPO. Many multinational
companies have chosen India as their main BPO centre to get their business services
done. India is one of the obvious choices to outsource to companies like Dell, Sun
Microsystems, LG, Ford, GE, Oracle Companies like IBM, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard,
and Novell. Even smaller businesses are taking advantage of the freelancing on the
Internet to get smaller projects done by offshore developers at minimum cost. So, BPO
has created a major trend set up, in the recent years and is benefiting both the investing
and the hiring company together.

Few of the motivation factors as to why BPO is gaining ground are:-
Factor Cost Advantage.
Economy of Scale.
Business Risk Mitigation.
Superior Competency.

Basics of Outsourcing
Outsourcing refers to a company that contract with another company to provide services
and to perform all the front office and back office task. The outsourcing tasks are done by
the employees working in the third parties concern. Recently outsourcing jobs are
increasing rapidly in most of the developing countries. Outsourcing jobs is providing
more job opportunities for many freshly graduated students. Many large companies are
now providing outsources jobs such as call center services, e-mail services, and payroll.
These jobs are handled by separate companies that specialize in each service, and are
often located overseas. Most of the outsourcing companies are set up overseas and such
companies is called as offshore outsourcing. Such offshore outsourcing trends have been
created to reduce the cost in terms of paying the employees and of course due to the
excellent performance received from outsourcing.
Outsourcing jobs has turned to be a great source for providing more employment in
developing countries like India. It has created a drastic change on the living and life style
of its employees. Outsourcing jobs does not require any specialized training. A person
with a good English knowledge, basics of computer can be very suitable for an
outsourcing job. Outsourcing job has the strength to create a vast change in the economy
Kavita Poddar 25
Bharath University Competency Mapping
of one country. For example, outsourcing jobs in countries like India and China is still
forming the base for economy improvement.
There are many reasons why companies outsource various jobs. One of the most
predominant advantages would be to saves money. Many of the companies that provide
outsourcing services are able to do the work for considerably less money, as they don't
have to provide benefits to their workers, and have fewer overhead expenses to worry
about. Examples countries like US establish their outsourcing centers in countries like
India so that they can get cheaper employees and also the work done is equal to their
highly paid employees. Starting an outsourcing center is one of the best way and also a
cost-effective way to start building foundations in other countries.
Growth of Indian BPO Industry
BPO industry is a fastest growing Industry. By 2012 BPO industry can achieve assets of
up to $50 billion, but the company need more investments both in infrastructure and
education by the government If the BPO industry attain $50 billion assets, it can appoint
two million staffs and offer more jobs for them.Inorder to push the assets up to $50
billion, Indian government has to play a great role. Indian companies spend a lot on in -
house training because the education system in India does not have the direct links with
the BPO industry, said Raman Roy, chairman and MD of Quattro.
BPO Industry has launched a Data Security Council, a self regulatory body headed by
Mr.Shyamal Gosh as its chairman. It will ensure data privacy to the BPO industry.
NASSCOM started training centers in Bangalore, Mumbai and Pune to train the police in
cyber crime investigation. This also a part of the growth of this industry.BPO also
launched National Skills Registry to ensure the verified database of the human resource
in the BPO sector.
Kavita Poddar 26
Bharath University Competency Mapping
The vast growth of BPO industry has changed the face of Indian youth. The growth of
call center has resulted in the cultural and economical development in the society. They
offered more career option to the youngsters and it helped them to improve their
knowledge, personality and make them to face any challenges in life. It also helped them
to understand foreign culture, language and accent as it serve the foreign countries.BPO
offers high salary and the employees can earn Rs.10, 000 to 15,000.This high salary
attract everybody to work in BPO sector. So they will get more man power. This man
power is the reason for the vast growth of BPO industry.
BPO has a major role in boosting India's economical status. IT sector contribute more to
the economic growth of India. The growth in the contribution shows a rise from 1.2% -
5.4%.It is very clear that BPO Industry has a major role in developing economic status of

Bharath University Competency Mapping
Challenges for a HR Professional in BPO
Brand equity: People still consider BPO to be "low brow", thus making it
difficult to attract the best talent.
Standard pre-job training: Again, due to the wide variety of the jobs, lack of
general clarity on skill sets, etc, there is no standard curriculum, which could be
designed and followed.
Benchmarks: There are hardly any benchmarks for compensation and benefits,
performance or HR policies. Everyone is charting their own course.
Customer: companies tend to demand better results from outsourcing partners
than what they could actually expect from their own departments. "When the job
is being done 10,000 miles away, demands on parameters such as quality, turn
around timeliness, information security, business continuity and disaster recovery,
etc, are far higher than at home.
Lack of focused training and certifications.
Given this background, the recruiting and compensation challenges of HR
departments are only understandable.
Key To success
The key to success in ramping up talent in a BPO environment is a rapid training module.
The training component has to be seen as an important sub-process, requiring constant re-
engineering.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
INRODUCTION
The word competency is derived from Latin word "Competere". This means ‘to
be suitable’. The competency concept was originally developed in Psychology denoting
individuals' ability to respond to demand placed on them by their environment. Ulrich
defined competency as “Knowledge, skill or ability of employees relevant for
organizational performance”.
Competence management is becoming increasingly important in today's
dynamic context since it is becoming the only competitive advantage the organization
actually has which cannot be duplicated easily by the competitor. Competence
management will have various aspects under it like competence profiling and finding
what the company is good at, competence building that is building new competence to
match the market demands, recruitment based on competencies etc.
Competency mapping is processes of identify key competencies for an
organization and a job and incorporating those competencies throughout the various
process (job evaluation, training, recruitment) of the organization.
Competency Mapping play a significant role in recruiting and retaining people
as it gives a more accurate analysis of the job requirements, the candidates capability of
the difference between the two, and the development and training needs to bridge the
gaps.
Kavita Poddar 50
Bharath University Competency Mapping
Competencies enable individuals to identify and articulate what they offer
regardless of the job they happen to have at the time so that their organization can see,
value and utilize what capability is actually available.

WHAT IS A COMPETENCY?
Competency is an underlying characteristic required to perform a given task, activity, or
role can be considered as competency. Competency has the following forms:
Knowledge
Skills
Attitude
These three factors are important for identifying competency in a person. Different
individual requires different competency for e.g. a person working in a manufacturing
unit may require different competency than a person working in an IT sector.
Competency difference from industry to industry. According to Harvard Business
Review Daniel Katz grouped competency into three areas which later expanded in
to the following four:-
Technical
Managerial
Human
Conceptual
In competency mapping all details of the behaviors (observable, specific, measurable etc)
to be shown by the person occupying that role are specified.
Kavita Poddar 52
Bharath University Competency Mapping
LEVELS OF COMPETENCY
When we talk of competency it is imperative to know the levels of competency such
as:-
1. Practical competency: An employee's demonstrated ability to perform a set of tasks.
2. Foundational competence: An employee's demonstrated understanding of what and
why he/she is doing.
3. Reflexive competence: An employee's ability to integrate actions with the
understanding of the action so that he/she learns from those actions and adapts to the
changes as and when they are required.
4. Applied competence: An employee's demonstrated ability to perform a set of tasks
with understanding and reflexivity.
Kavita Poddar 53
Bharath University Competency Mapping
Components of Competency
There are four major components of competency:-
Skill: Capabilities acquired through practice. It can be a financial skill such as
budgeting, or a verbal skill such as making a presentation.
Knowledge: Understanding acquired through learning. This refers to a body of
information relevant to job performance. It is what people have to know to be able
to perform a job, such as knowledge of policies and procedures for a recruitment
process.
Personal attributes: Inherent characteristics which are brought to the job,
representing the essential foundation upon which knowledge and skill can be
developed.
Behavior: The observable demonstration of some competency, skill, knowledge
and personal attributes. It is an essentially definitive expression of a competency
in that it is a set of action that, presumably, can be observed, taught, learned, and
measured.
Based on the above definition, it can be said competency only include behaviors that
demonstrate excellent performance. Therefore, they do not include knowledge per se, but
do include applied knowledge or the behavioral application of knowledge that produces
success. In addition, competencies do include skills, but only the manifestation of skills
that produce success. Finally, competencies are not personal work motives, but do
include observable behaviors related to motives.
Kavita Poddar 54
Bharath University Competency Mapping
Type of Competency
There are four types of competency:-
1. Employee Core Competency
Competency that relate to organization’s values, mission and strategy; these are
competencies that reflect organizational core capabilities and should be possessed by all
employees regardless of their function.
Example: Customer satisfaction; quality orientation.
2. Managerial Competency
Competencies that relate to skills needed to perform managerial work and process; it
deals with the interaction process either with individual or group of people. Typically
generic in nature, these competencies are common skills sets required by most
companies; are not necessarily industry specific, and are not confined to managerial
positions. In typical organizations, managerial competencies will play greater emphasis
as the position progresses within the organization.
In general, managerial competency could be divided into two categories:
Human Competency
An ability to work with, understand, and motivate other people as individuals or in group.
It relates to the individual’s expertise in interacting with others in a way that will enhance
the successful completion of the task at hand.
Examples: interpersonal skills; developing people.
Conceptual Competency
An ability to understand the degree of complexity in a given situation and to reduce that
complexity to a level at which specific courses of action can be derived.
Example: problem solving and decision making.
Kavita Poddar 55
Bharath University Competency Mapping
3. Technical/Functional Competency
Competencies that pertain to specific bodies of knowledge and skills required to perform
the defined activities in an industry, function or job. It includes the abilities to use the
procedures, techniques and knowledge of a specialized field.
Example: sales ability, behavior interview technique.
4. Personal Attribute
Competencies that relate to inherent personal characteristics (e.g. motives, self image,
self concept, etc.) and potentially affect work attitude and performance.
Example: tolerance for stress; achievement motivation.
Kavita Poddar 56
Bharath University Competency Mapping
Competency Model
Competency model is a set of competencies that include the key behaviors required for
excellent performance in a particular role. Competency model development is driven by
the organization’s strategy (see figure below).

Benefits of Using Competency Model
There are some useful benefits of using competency model for the company, managers,
and employees as well.
For the company, these benefits are:-
Reinforce corporate strategy, culture, and vision.
Establish expectations for performance excellence, resulting in a systematic
approach to professional development, improved job satisfaction, and better
employee retention.
Increase the effectiveness of training and professional development programs by
linking them to the success criteria (i.e., behavioral standards of excellence).
Provide a common framework and language for discussing how to implement and
communicate key strategies.
Provide a common understanding of the scope and requirements of a specific role.
Provide common, organization-wide standards for career levels that enable
employees to move across business boundaries.
For Managers, the benefits are:-
Identify performance criteria to improve the accuracy and ease of the hiring and
selection process.
Provide more objective performance standards.
Clarify standards of excellence for easier communication of performance
expectations to direct reports.
Provide a clear foundation for dialogue to occur between the manager and
employee about performance, development, and career-related issues.

Bharath University Competency Mapping
For Employees, the benefits are:-

required to be successful in their role.
Support a more specific and objective assessment of their strengths and specify
targeted areas for professional development.
Provide development tools and methods for enhancing their skills.
Provide the basis for a more objective dialogue with their manager or team about
performance, development, and career related issues.
What Methodology is used?
The following methods are used in combination for competency mapping:-
Interview
Group work
Task Forces
Task Analysis workshops
Questionnaire
Use of Job descriptions
Performance Appraisal Formats etc.
Who Identifies Competencies?
Competencies can be identified by one of the following category of people:-
Experts
HR Specialists
Job analysts
Psychologists
Kavita Poddar 59
Bharath University Competency Mapping
Industrial Engineers
How to Identify Competency?
The process of identification is not very complex. Some of the methods are given below:-
1. Simply ask each person who is currently performing the role to list the
tasks to be performed by him one by one, and identify the knowledge, attitudes
and skills required to perform each of these jobs. Consolidate the list and present
it to a role set group or a special task force constituted for that role.
2. Appoint a task force for each role.
Kavita Poddar 60
Bharath University Competency Mapping
WHAT IS COMPETENCY MAPPING?
Competency mapping involves the determination of the extent to which the person
possesses the various competencies related to a job.
For Ex: The extent to which a person is adjustable, resourceful, capable of working
efficiently under stress, capable of anticipating threats, finding solutions and contributing
in innovations. Which is then compared with the extent to which the various
competencies are required for a job? The comparison enables us to know the suitability of
a person for a job. So this too is used for setting standards and checking the employees
standing on the various competencies’ platform and further, the training needs of a person
can also be identified.
A company can save a lot of cost on training by efficiently using knowledge
management. A person may be perfect in one aspect and may lack in others, if the
knowledge in which a person in a master is shared by all, then that will reduce the cost of
training. At least it can make the person aware about the new concepts, which he is
totally unaware.
COMPETENCY MAPPING PROCESS
The competency mapping process does not fit the one-size-fits all formula. It has to be
specific to the user organization. It is better to develop models that draw from but are not
defined by existing research, using behavioral interview methods so that the organization
creates a model that reflects its own strategy, its own market, its own customers, and the
competencies that bring success in that specific context (including national culture). Start
with small, discrete groups or teams, ideally in two directions-a 'horizontal slice' across
the business that takes in a multi-functional or multi-site group, more or less at the same
organizational level, and a 'vertical slice' taking in one whole department or team from
top to bottom. From that, the organization can learn about the process of competency
Kavita Poddar 61
Bharath University Competency Mapping
modeling, and how potential alternative formats for the models may or may not fit the
needs of the business.
It is important to focus on one or two key areas of implementation rather than the whole
HRD agenda in one scoop. So if recruitment and selection or performance management is
the key strategic needs of the business, and where the pain is being felt, then start there. It
is advisable to begin with a 'horizontal' slice of the management or senior-most team as
the benefits will percolate down to the whole organization.
Methodology for designing: The most effective route to employ recognized best-
practice internal research methodology using behavioral event interview (BEI) techniques
to selectively sample the target population (supplemented with expert panels and
'Competency Requirement Questionnaires' to engage wider population samples) and so
build up the models from the data that emerges. This data should be triangulated against
clear top-down input in terms of organizational strategy and business objectives, and also
against external research relevant and analogous to the organizations situation-not as a
driver, but as a reference point. Once the behavioral data is collected, it should be sorted,
categorized and leveled carefully to create models that are concise and comprehensive,
simple and sophisticated. Developing BEI skills within the organization has the added
benefit that once the model is complete, it can be used more effectively by transferring
these skills to selection interviewing, development assessments, and so on.
International organizations must ensure that the methodology does not screen-out those
competencies that do not match the culturally-influenced pre-conceptions of the head
office (wherever it is situated) of what high-performance competencies are. This is a
common error…the universalist, all-powerful 'global leadership model'.
Kavita Poddar 62
Bharath University Competency Mapping
COMMON STEPS IN COMPETENCY MAPPING
First: A job analysis is carried out by asking employees to fill in a questionnaire that asks
them to describe what they are doing, and what skills, attitudes and abilities they need to
have to perform it well. There would be a bit that requests them to list down attributes
needed to make it up to the next level, thus making it behavioral as well as skill-based.
Second: Having discovered the similarities in the questionnaires, a competency-based
job description is crafted and presented to the personnel department for their agreement
and additions if any.
Third: Having agreed on the job requirements and the skills and attitudes needed to
progress within it and become more productive; one starts mapping the capability of the
employees to the benchmarks. There are several index points within the responsibility
level. An almost (but not quite) arbitrary level of attainment is noted against each
benchmark indicating the areas where the assesses is in terms of personal development
and achievement.
These give an adept HR manager a fairly good picture of the employee to see whether he
(or she) needs to perform better or to move up a notch on the scale. Once the employee
`tops' every indicator at his level, he moves on to the next and begins there at the bottom -
in short, he is promoted.
This reasonably simple though initially (the first year only) tedious method helps
everybody to know what the real state of preparedness of an organization to handle new
business (or its old one) because it has a clear picture of every incumbent in the
organization.
It helps in determining the training and development needs and importantly it helps to
encourage the best and develop the rest. “A win-win situation for everyone”.

SOME TIPS TO DO COMPETENCY MAPPING
The following are some of tips to do competency mapping at low cost:-
Pick up a job or a role that is relatively well understood by all individuals in the
company. Work out for this role and give it as an illustration. For example Sales
Executive, Production Supervisor, Assistant HR Manager, Receptionist, Transport
Manager, PR Manager, etc. are known to all and easy to profile.
Work out competencies for this role if necessary with the help of job analysis specialist
or an internal member who has knowledge of competency mapping. Prepare this as an
illustration.
Circulate these others and ask various departments to do it on their won.
Circulate samples of competencies done by others.
Illustrate knowledge, attitudes, skills, values etc.
Choose a sample that does not use jargons.
Explain the purpose.
Interview of past successful job holders helps.
Current incumbent who are doing a good job along with their Reporting officers
is a good.
Enough team in most cases.
Once prepared even on the basis of one or two individuals inputs circulate to other
role set members.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research refers to the search for knowledge. One can also define as the scientific and
systematic search for candidate’s information on specific topic. Research is a scientific
investigation. According to D.Slesinger and M.Stepenson, “The manipulation of things,
concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify
knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the practice of an
art”.
Field of study
The research has been conducted among the HR Team, who were involved in the
identifying the significant measures to increase the potential employee at HCL
Technologies BPO Services Ltd., Chennai.
Research Design
The objective of the study has been achieved by using both Primary and
Secondary Data’s. The data’s obtained for the study was primarily from field
investigation carried out among the HR team of HCL BPO, who are involved in the
competency mapping process, on the basis of an extensive questionnaire.
Sampling Design
Sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population.
It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items
for samples.
Kavita Poddar 72
Bharath University Competency Mapping
Samples are studied for the entire population who are involved in the competency
mapping process.
Research design is needed because it facilitates the smooth railing of the various
research operations thereby making research as effective as possible yielding maximal
information with minimal expenditure of effort, time and money.
Population
The population for this survey includes the entire HR team of HCL BPO-Center
1.

Primary data:-
Primary data is information obtained from original sources by the researcher.
A structured questionnaire was prepared to collect relevant primary data from
employees of the company and personal interview with HR Executives.
Secondary data:-
The secondary data were collected from the published sources such as books,
magazines, journals, web sources and company records.
Sampling Unit
The sampling unit consists of HR team at HCL BPO-Center 1.
Kavita Poddar 73
Bharath University Competency Mapping
Sample size and sampling method
The sample size for the survey is 110 and the sampling method used is
convenience sampling.
The methodology adopted in this study was Convenience sampling. As the name
implies, the sample is selected because they are convenient to the researcher.
A convenience sample is used when you simply stop anybody in the street who is
prepared to stop, or when you wander round a business, a shop, a restaurant, a theatre or
whatever, asking people you meet whether they will answer your questions.
Framework Analysis
The collected data were analyzed by applying Simple Percentage method and pie
chart and tables.
Tools used (or) statistical techniques applied
The methods followed for the analysis and interpretation of data are:-
Univariate Percentage Analysis
Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. It is used to make
comparison between two or more series of data. They can be used to compare the relative
items, the distribution of two or more series of data, since the percentages reduces every
thing to a common base and there by allow meaningful comparisons to be made. Here
only one factor is considered.

Definition of pie chart
A graphical representation of information in which each unit of data is represented as a
pie-shaped piece of a circle.
A graphic representation of quantitative information by means of a circle divided into
sectors, in which the relative sizes of the areas of the sectors correspond to the relative
sizes or proportion of the quantities.
It is a type of chart divided into sections of a circle, drawn from a single Y-axis value and
used to illustrate the relationship of parts to the whole, particularly useful for
emphasizing one specific element.
Definition of bar chart
A bar chart is a chart with rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that
they represent. Bar charts are used for comparing two or more values. The bars can be
horizontally or vertically oriented. Sometimes a stretched graphic is used instead of a
solid bar.
It is a type of chart which consists of four significant points: the high and the low prices,

CONCLUSIONS
The broad concept might say to be based on the frequently quoted adage:
“People get hired for what they know but fired for how they behave!” This research
describes to, check the feasibility of implementing competency mapping. Competency
mapping can implemented since Competence management will have various aspects
under it like competence profiling and finding what the company is good at, competence
building that is building new competence to match the market demands, recruitment
based on competencies. By implementing the suggestions of this study, the company may
hire, develop and retain the right talent in the company.

SUGGESTIONS“Destiny is not a matter of
chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it
is a thing to be achieved”.
Kavita Poddar 118
Bharath University Competency Mapping
SUGGESTIONS
Competency mapping as a tool for performance appraisal:
The competency can be considered to measure and enhance the performance of
the employees.
Creating awareness about competency mapping:
Since, most of the employees were not aware of competency mapping; the
company can consider conducting seminars, awareness programs or workshops to
create awareness among employees.
Competency mapping for recruitment:
Competency mapping may also be used as a tool for internal recruitment or
promotion in the company.
Competency as a tool for retention:
The competency mapping may also be used as a retention tool. If the
performances of the employees were appraisal without any bias i.e. based on
knowledge, skill, attitude the employees would be highly satisfied with the
mechanism of performance appraisal. Therefore competency mapping may be used as
tool for retention.
