Presenters cite OECD survey, Dunedin study and Toyota example to justify competency hiring
Summary
The webinar referenced international research and business examples—OECD's 2024 Survey of Adult Skills, the Dunedin longitudinal study and Toyota's competency practices—to support competency-based hiring and training.
Ashley Leger cited research and business practices to justify the shift toward competency-based hiring. She referenced the 2024 OECD Survey of Adult Skills, saying the survey found many workers feel their education, training or experience do not line up with job requirements; she used that to argue for broader recognition of varied experience.
Leger also pointed to long-term research and a business example: she summarized the Dunedin longitudinal study of people born 1972–73 to illustrate the long-term benefits of self-regulation, and cited Toyota's mid-20th-century move to empower workers as an early example of competency-driven improvement.
