Describe the Advantages of the Approach used to Identify Performance Gaps
The Credit Union Central of Saskatchewan developed the competency-based approach to performance gap identification to ensure their employees' performance corresponds to their organizational goals and objectives. A competency-based approach is centered on implementing a training program based on what an individual can do, centered on the expertise acquired from the training (Boahnin, 2018). It enables recruitment firms to select the best candidates with operational knowledge and abilities to perform the specific job effectively. Also, a competency-based approach to performance gap identification ensures better performance in business organizations. By considering the expertise and competencies required in each task role, managers and workers engage effectively and share project implementation milestones, progress, expectations, and success to ensure performance improvement (Karimiri et al., 2018).
