A strategic dimension for your organization

The environment in which our organizations operate is changing rapidly, particularly in the energy, mobility and environment sectors. It is essential to develop, adapt and enhance your teams’ skills ; this is the ultimate goal of competency-based management (or competency management).

This structured approach includes identifying necessary and existing skills, organizing their development, and planning training to ensure that the right skills are available at the right time. This talent management optimizes individual and collective performance while promoting employee engagement and satisfaction.

A lever to achieve your organization's objectives

Keeping employees' skills aligned is a key lever for success. To stay in tune with the real needs of our industries, we provide practical, in-depth knowledge of the professions and the skills, know-how, and attitudes they require.

As such, our skills management approach and the training we offer are based on job skill frameworks that are directly aligned with the technical, economic, and organizational requirements of the industries we serve.

Our competency-based approach places the development of practical skills at the heart of the learning process so that learners acquire, integrate and effectively apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for their professional activity. This approach is based on real-life situations, assessments based on the demonstration of acquired skills and individualized progress tailored to each person's needs.

Competency Management

It allows us to precisely target training needs, define clear objectives, and then design tailored programs that maximize learning and skills application.

This approach is divided into several stages:

1 - Skills gap analysis: We begin by analyzing the gaps identified during the skills mapping process. This analysis allows us to precisely target the areas where training is needed.

2 - Defining training objectives: based on the gap analysis, we define clear and relevant training objectives aligned with your company's strategic needs.

3 - Designing training programs: we develop customized training programs tailored to the skills to be developed. Each program is designed to maximize learning and the practical application of skills.

4 - Planning and implementation: we plan and implement the training plan, ensuring effective coordination and active employee participation. This step includes selecting trainers, logistics and monitoring progress.

5 - Assessment and adjustment: we evaluate the effectiveness of the training and adjust programs based on feedback and results. This ongoing assessment ensures that the skills developed meet your company's evolving needs.

It allows you to precisely identify skills required for each position and align employee skills with company objectives.

This approach can transform your organization by:

1 - Precise identification of skills: we map key skills required for each position, providing a clear view of the skills required for each position to be evaluated.

2 - Strategic alignment: competency matrices are designed to align employee skills with job-related tasks and company objectives.

3 - Customization of tools: each tool is tailored to your company’s specific needs, ensuring a customized assessment reflecting your strategic objectives. Data is hosted on our LMS.

It allows you to measure the effectiveness of the actions implemented and identify areas for improvement.

Operational planning and implementation of the campaign: objectives were identified during the previous phase, and the schedule and deployment methods are discussed jointly with the HR team and the managers of the employees to be evaluated, in line with your organization’s needs and constraints. We deploy the assessment campaign by involving all key players, ensuring active participation and rigorous follow-up.

It helps identify your teams' strengths and areas for improvement, define their training needs, and implement relevant development strategies.

1 - Assessment of current skills: we assess your teams' existing skills using appropriate tools. We measure actual skills versus skills required for each position.

2 - Gap analysis: we analyze the gaps between current skills and required skills. This highlights areas where training is needed to fill the gaps.

3 - Strategic action plan: based on the gap analysis, we develop a strategic action plan to develop your employees' skills. It includes recommendations for both training and professional development.

The job description analysis and rewriting phase is a fundamental step in revitalizing your organization and maximizing its potential. These job descriptions must be perfectly aligned with your strategic objectives, reflecting the current skills and responsibilities of your teams.

This phase involves:

1 - In-depth analysis: we carefully review existing job descriptions to identify any gaps between the tasks and responsibilities performed by employees and those listed in the job description. This analysis allows us to identify any discrepancies and update the job descriptions of each employee to be evaluated.

2 - Strategic rewriting: we rewrite job descriptions to make them clear, precise and inspiring. Each description is designed to highlight key tasks and essential skills.

3 - Performance optimization: well-written job descriptions facilitate talent management, improve employee satisfaction, and increase productivity. They serve as a guide for performance reviews and career plans.
