Remote working competencies

Competencies have been used to help organisations recruit, manage and develop their employees for decades. A 2015 study by Deloitte showed that 89% of ‘best-in-class organisations’ had competencies defined for all roles.

With remote working having been forced upon us recently, and the likelihood that it will be very much part of the way we work going forwards, it makes sense to assess how well our teams and we stack up against remote working competencies, to get real data-driven insights, not guess, at how well we are coping.

Competencies typically fall into three categories:

• Behavioural competencies – softer skills involved in the performance
• Technical competencies – effective use of IT systems, computers, or hard skills
• Leadership competencies – qualities that make a good leader

U Transition has a set of remote working competencies for the leader and for the employee and the overview report for leader or employee is currently free.
