Lominger Competencies

What are Competency Models?

A competency model is a collection of behaviors employees must possess to be successful in their role or at a specific task. Competency models are more nuanced than job descriptions, as they provide an understanding not only of what the employee does but how he or she does it. A job description lists the tasks and functions performed in a specific role, whereas a competency model identifies the behavior, skills, and knowledge necessary to complete those functions.
