Which of the following best describes a competence framework?

A competence framework is a structured set of the skills, knowledge and behaviours that define effective performance in a job or role. Organisations use it to recruit, appraise and develop staff. It is not an employment contract or a training budget, which cover different matters.

  1. AA structured set of skills, knowledge and behaviours that define effective performance in a job or roleCorrect
  2. BA legal contract that sets out an employee's pay and working hours
  3. CA financial plan that allocates the training budget between departments

Explanation

A competence framework sets out the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed for effective performance in a role. It can be used for recruitment, appraisal and development. A contract of employment deals with terms and conditions, and a training budget is a financial matter, so neither describes a framework.
