What does the Competency Based Job Description Toolkit include?

The Competency Based Job Description Toolkit includes over 60 downloadable files delivered by email within 24 business hours: PDF guides, XLSX dashboards, and DOCX templates organised across 12 structured sections. Key components include a 90-day rollout roadmap, a 120+ skill Competency Dictionary, 12 customisable job description templates, a maturity assessment, legal compliance checklist, and stakeholder engagement tools, all designed to implement and scale competency-based role design across organisations.

Without a structured Competency Based Job Description framework, your organisation faces inconsistent hiring decisions, misaligned performance evaluations, and weakened succession pipelines, leading to prolonged time-to-hire, legal risks in employment practices, and talent strategies that fail to support business goals. The Competency Based Job Description Toolkit is the complete, ready-to-deploy professional development resource that empowers HR leaders, talent managers, and organisational designers to build role-specific, behaviourally-anchored job descriptions backed by global standards in workforce planning, ensuring fairness, scalability, and compliance across every stage of the employee lifecycle.

How This Helps You

  • Stop hiring misfits: With behaviourally-anchored job descriptions, you reduce the risk of poor cultural and performance fit, cutting turnover by up to 40% in the first year.
  • Eliminate appraisal bias: Standardised proficiency levels and observable behavioural indicators ensure fair, defensible performance reviews, critical for audit readiness and employee trust.
  • Future-proof your talent pipeline: By mapping current capabilities against target competencies, you identify high-potential employees and close skill gaps before they impact strategic initiatives.
  • Achieve compliance at scale: The integrated legal checklist ensures your job descriptions meet global fair employment standards, reducing exposure to discrimination claims and regulatory penalties.
  • Accelerate rollout with zero guesswork: The 90-day roadmap and facilitation guides help you gain stakeholder buy-in quickly, avoiding project delays that stall organisational change.
  • Build a defensible promotion framework: Transparent, competency-based criteria support equitable career progression, boosting engagement and retention, especially among high performers.
  • Without this toolkit, you risk perpetuating outdated, vague job descriptions that lead to inconsistent hiring, failed internal mobility programs, and exposure during workplace audits or litigation.
