As more & more organizations adopt competencies, the demand for tools to support this function continues to grow. 

Using competencies can be the foundation for consistent and cohesive talent management programs in your organization. Technology can be a great enabler to ensure your competency initiative is a success, and can significantly cut the amount of time required to get your project off the ground. 

HRSG’s CompetencyCore suite is one of the few tools available on the market within the crowded talent-management space that positions competencies as the focal point of the tool.

If you are looking to build out your talent management programs and processes around competencies, it is worth taking a look at what HRSG has to offer.
