Behavioural competencies are soft skills that can be described as the traits, abilities and motivations needed to deliver effective performance and predict future success in a workplace. Without realizing organizations have already been looking for specific behavioural competencies to carry out certain roles. For example, during selection or hiring, personnel with great analytical skills are more important for someone in investigations roles, rather than good communication skills which may be more important for someone in sales roles.
