From an organizational perspective, the Job Competency Analysis identifies employees' core competencies (across multiple disciplines) that are needed for successful performance. Vangent's process for operationalizing an organization's core values, delivers behavioral indicators for benchmarking performance. These benchmarks provide a means for objective measurement, which can determine an employee's fit.

Key areas Vangent examines:

• Review top organizational goals and mission
• Is there a short-term and/or long-range vision?
• How will the organization goals and missions evolve?
• How are organizational outputs measured (formal & informal)?
• Are there distinguishing characteristics of groups of customers?
• What are the market/customer expectations?

Based on the development of competency profiles, Vangent utilizes best-in-class assessment and survey methods for determining what you need to know: employee bench strength, talent gaps and implications for development and external hiring. With more than 200 validated assessments, Vangent can evaluate bio-data, motivations, skills, intellectual capabilities, aptitudes/attitudes, and much more-all while identifying high-potential employees and staffing needs.

Vangent blends these assessment results with performance ratings, which evaluate strengths and developmental needs based on a targeted competency profile. This allows you to examine the individual-comparing their skill sets and competencies with their critical job functions, which are defined in the job task and activity survey analysis. The results? A useful reading of how prepared they are for the position. The analysis also identifies the developmental needs of an individual or group that will enable their success in a position (or for other management positions).
