Competence
A person’s ability to accurately and reliably meet the performance requirements for a defined role. Competence includes the skills and knowledge necessary to perform the required tasks successfully, the ability to recognize personal limits and so seek physical help or input from others when appropriate, and the conscientious application of skills and knowledge every time they are used. Competence thus includes a behavioural element, ie ability to apply personal skills and knowledge in typical workplace situations.
