    A measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviours, and other characteristics that an individual needs to perform work roles or occupational functions successfully. Competencies specify the “how” (as opposed to the what) of performing job tasks, or what the person needs to do the job successfully.

      Divya however, Competencies focus on how results are achieved rather than merely the end result. In this manner they bridge the gap between performance management and employee development and are an integral component of personal development plans.
