WHAT IS COMPETENCE?
“Competence is the quality of
being adequately or well
qualified physically and
intellectually. I have not for a
long time heard that word
used to describe a politician –
or any public servant, for that
matter. Make competence a
respectable word again.”
- Prof Jonathan Jansen

The need for consistency and quality
Conclusion
We need a professional approach to HR
practices in schools. The new competency
model sets the benchmark for HR
competence. HR standards are needed to
improve the consistency and quality of people
management. Better people performance
translates to improved school and business
performance.
Key questions
• Do you have high quality HR policies and
practices in schools?
• Are you up to date with new trends and
developments in HR?
• Do you need a high level professional
network?
• Do you need professional support from a
professional body?
• Will you be ready to implement the 13
national HR standards?
Let us rise to the challenge and
deliver HR excellence
Let us build HR competence and create HR
standards!
