Why Competency Based Management?

Competency based management is important to the public health workforce because it:

• Supports HR management practices by assisting in the recruitment of the right people and identifying learning gaps in the organization

Public Health Competency Based Employee Performance Management:

• Provides a consistent process to assess performance of public health employees across the organization
• Integrates the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Core Competencies for Public Health into the performance management process
• Builds capacity of individuals and organizations
• Demonstrates best practices in performance management
• Can be used with discipline, organizational and/or program standards
