Qudos System 3 Guided Tour - Competency and training

Competency & training

The Problems...

All compliance management standards have requirements for training people to help ensure their competence and awareness. Competency may be broken down into four aspects:

Task skills - to perform a task

Task Management skills - to manage a number of tasks within a job or project

Contingency skills - to deal with an exception to the norm

Job environment skills - to deal with the expectations of the job and its environment (including working relationships with others)

Training may also focus on ensuring that people have adequate awareness of hazards and risks, applicable legislation, their responsibilities and other aspects of the organisation and their role in it.

One area that should not be overlooked is the provision of training for those responsible for establishing, maintaining and operating your management system itself. Specific training is likely to be needed for certain people e.g. Compliance, Quality or OHS Managers, Co-ordinators, Safety Representatives, and Internal Auditors.

The Solution...

Qudos offers tools to help you effectively develop and manage your organisation's most valuable resource - the human one.

To help maintain and improve levels of competency, the People module includes Individual Development Plans to set out a path for each employee, plan and track progress. You may also set objectives, standards, and criteria for assessment ratings. Plans may be electronically signed off by the employee, and their line managers.

Action plans may be checked for compatibility with listed Objectives for the respective business unit and the organisation as a whole. They may be linked to the desired achievement of what has been identified as a Core Skill.

Facilities are provided to record the provision of training. The components in this module include a Training Schedule, lists of Course Types and Training Providers, plus a query for querying attendance records.

Qudos System 3 includes extensive training material, including: training presentations on various compliance and risk management topics, an e-book on Quality Management.
