Strata Workforce Competency Framework
In our dynamic industry, professionalism will largely be influenced by how we attract, develop and retain our talent with unwavering focus to ensure that all of us and our teams are the best- best at what we do now and continuously building capabilities for the future, always delivering excellence in customer service.
Changing the Game
Strata Community Association (Vic) (SCAV), is committed to working with Members to professional the Strata Industry. Through the key the Strategic Pillars of Membership and Education, SCAV is releasing the Strata Workforce Competency Framework (SWCF) to drive the work.
Like many industries at this time, the Strata Industry has faced many challenges. It is imperative that we reflect on where we will be in six (6) months, twelve (12) months and ten (10) years from now and ask what the future will hold for the Strata Industry? The are many possible futures can be considered through two central themes:
-
Strata properties will continue to be crucial to the future of our cities and the delivery housing and governance of urban living.
-
strata people and the relationships they forge with clients, will allow the industry to adapt and grow into the future
Attracting, developing, and retaining the best of the best people is critical to the long-term growth and sustainability of the Strata industry. This means taking the time and turning attention toward the important investment we will make in supporting their development and future career growth.
Today we are releasing our Game Changing, Future Focused initiative - The Strata Workforce Competency Framework.
Piloted by The Knight in 2019, this comprehensive resource is intended to support the Strata industry to manage the full employee lifecycle- from workforce planning, recruitment, selection, on-boarding and development of employees and in their career. It is also intended to deliver service quality and improve practice standards, enhance the business, inform excellence in client service, and professionalise the Strata industry.
Real Time Testing
The SWCF outlines the key Domains of Responsibilities & Competencies (Appendix 1) required to perform successfully as Strata Managers, and Assistants to Strata Managers. It showcases the technical, professional and soft skills deemed important for best performance in a particular career level within the Strata Sector and outlines the Skills Matrix for individual growth throughout their career.
