Profile mapping for Occupational Families and Careers (OFC) is the process of identifying the skills and competencies required for different job roles within an organization. This information can then be used to develop training and development programs, create career pathways, and make better hiring decisions.
Step 1: Identify the job roles within your organization
The first step is to identify all of the job roles within your organization, both current and future. This includes all levels of positions, from entry-level to executive. You can use job descriptions, organizational charts, and other resources to identify all of the job roles.
Step 2: Define the skills and competencies required for each job role
Once you have identified all of the job roles, you need to define the skills and competencies required for each role. Consider both technical and soft skills. Technical skills are the specific skills required to perform the job, such as programming languages, software development tools, and data structures and algorithms. Soft skills are general skills that are important for success in any job, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
To define the skills and competencies required for each job role, you can review job descriptions, performance reviews, and employee surveys. You can also talk to managers and employees to get their input.
Step 3: Group the job roles into occupational families
Once you have defined the skills and competencies required for each job role, you need to group the job roles into occupational families. Occupational families are groups of job roles that require similar skills and competencies. For example, the IT Division occupational family might include job roles such as software engineer, web developer, and systems administrator.
Grouping job roles into occupational families will help you to identify common skills and competencies across different job roles. This information can then be used to develop training and development programs, create career pathways, and make better hiring decisions.
Step 4: Map the skills and competencies to each occupational family
Once you have grouped the job roles into occupational families, you need to map the skills and competencies to each occupational family. This will give you a clear picture of the skills and competencies required for each occupational family.
To map the skills and competencies to each occupational family, you can create a table or spreadsheet. List the occupational families in one column and the skills and competencies in the other columns. Then, indicate which skills and competencies are required for each occupational family.
Step 5: Use the profile mapping information to develop training and development programs, create career pathways, and make better hiring decisions
Once you have mapped the skills and competencies to each occupational family, you can use this information to develop training and development programs, create career pathways, and make better hiring decisions.
Training and development programs: The profile mapping information can be used to identify the skills and competencies that employees need to develop in order to advance their careers. Based on this information, you can develop training and development programs to help employees develop the skills and competencies they need to be successful in their current and future roles.
Career pathways: The profile mapping information can be used to create career pathways for employees. Career pathways are sequences of jobs that employees can move through as they develop their skills and competencies. By creating career pathways, you can help employees identify the skills and competencies they need to develop in order to advance their careers.
Hiring decisions: The profile mapping information can be used to make better hiring decisions. When you are hiring for a new role, you can compare the skills and competencies required for the role to the skills and competencies of the candidates you are interviewing. This will help you to identify the candidates who are most likely to be successful in the role.
