Recognizing 'attitude aspect' in competency mapping...

As we all know, competency comprises of three dimensions ie knowledge, skill and attitude.

In most of the competency mapping exercises , 'skills & knowledge' are given it's deserved consideration. However, we hardly notice the attitude aspect of competency being given any consideration.

Thats probably because many HR proffesionals believe that attitude can not be modified easily and investing too much of time in it might not be justified.

But I feel recognizing the attitude of the individuals with a purpose of maintaining a repository of the collective attitudes of the employees would help to get the pulse of the organizational culture.

There is also a good chance of the proactive set of employees making genuine efforts in changing their attitude towards realising more favourable results. In the long run, this will surely help.

So it makes sense in knowing what kind of attitude your employees are wearing?
