Abstract

A competency-based framework (CBF) is a standardized metric facilitating various HR functions including recruitment, assessment, training, performance evaluation, and career development. This paper aims to investigate the process of developing CBF, the benefits and the challenges associated with its development and implementation. The paper explores some of the key issues encountered and lessons learned from the practical application of competency frameworks within organizational settings. This paper offers recommendations to guide practitioners and researchers in navigating the complexities associated with CBF implementation. It also guides those endeavoring to develop competency-based frameworks, offering a comprehensive step-by-step process. The focus is on fostering stakeholder engagement, aligning frameworks with organizational objectives, and leveraging technological advancements to enhance integration and effectiveness within the evolving landscape of digital transformation and innovation driven by AI. Additionally, future research opportunities are highlighted to assist organizations in navigating the changing dynamics of the digital era.
