The HR competency model

No clue where to start in creating an HR competency model? We have created a template that will help you create your own competency model for Human Resources. Feel free to use our template in any way that will make your job easier.

The template lists both core human resources and function-specific competencies. Fill out the form to download the template usable for Google Sheet or Excel. With the template, you can:

  • Build an HR competency model for your organization
  • Select from common pre-defined HR competencies
  • Customize with your own competencies
  • Define current and desired proficiency level per competency.

How the template works

The HR competency template helps you define key competencies for each of the HR functions, or across functions with similar learning requirements using our clustering approach. The template helps organizations to prioritize competencies and upskill their HR teams.

The template is structured to list both core human resources and function-specific competencies. Core HR competencies are those essential competencies that everyone in your HR population needs to master. Function-specific competencies only apply to certain smaller and specific clusters of HR team members.

The template provides an easy-to-use structure to create a first draft of your organization’s HR competency model. To help you get going, we have pre-filled some common HR competencies as placeholders.
