During the Competency Assessments in your Supply and Demand Analyses, your subject
matter experts rated the importance of the competencies in both the current job and the job
as it will be performed in the future. They also assessed the level of competency currently
possessed by those in the targeted classification.
In the Gap Analysis phase, you will review these ratings to identify any gaps that may exist
between the competencies possessed by the current workforce and your current and future
needs.
Gaps exist for those competencies where the rating in the Currently Required column
and/or the Required in the Future column is greater that the rating in the Competency
Possessed column. The results can be summarized in the Competency Gap Assessment
Form.
The important lesson to be learned from the Gap Analysis Competency Assessment is that
simply having all of your jobs filled isnt enough. They have to be filled by employees who
exhibit the necessary competencies. And in many cases, current employees do not fully
meet all of the competency requirements. This is critically important information to have in
designing your Gap-Closing Strategies.
