SECTION 1 OVERVIEW
Introduction
The updated competency framework of DENR contains the new list of required competencies
based on the Department’s current thrusts and directions, rationalized set-up and the Civil
Service Commission’s (CSC)Competency Model under Memorandum Circular 3S. 2012 also
known as the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource
Management (PRIME-HRM).
The framework known as the competency-based system or CBS describes the range of
knowledge, skills, attributes and behavior needed by DENR personnel for high level
performance. This manual is an update of the DENR’s four (4) CBS Manuals for Technical,
Support, EMB and MGB that were developed in 2006-2008.
The competency model presented here is patterned after the CSC’s Competency Model and
contains the following:
 An updated list of competencies and definitions with competency indicators that

represent a range of behaviors levelled-off into four (4) competency levels compared to
the DENR’s previous CBS with five (5) competency levels.
There are eight (8) core/organizational competencies, among which seven (7) are adopted
from the CSC in lieu of the DENR’s universal competencies due to their similarity. The
competency Preserving and Conserving the Environment was added to embody the
Department’s core function and commitment to its ISO 14001:2015 Environmental
Management System certification. The CSC’s managing information organizational
competency is not included since the DENR’s cross-cutting competencies of computer
skills and database management are more specific and relevant to DENR. The CSC’s
planning and delivering organizational competency is also not included since these are
already subsumed in the technical competency/ies required for the position.
The list of technical competencies was updated to include new functions such as climate
change under EMB, etc.; and to consider the new organizational set-up in the field (from a
sectoral to a functional approach requiring the shift in job roles from program
implementer and regulator to knowledge manager, technical assistance provider and
development catalyst e.g., development of a strategic environmental plan to guide LGUs,
development of standards to improve service delivery, and reduce bottlenecks for
processing the various types of resource use permits, etc. deploying an integrated
ecosystems management approach.
 An updated position profile based on the rationalized set-up and includes a position profile
for the staff bureaus, line bureaus and ROs. The position profile indicates the required
competency level per competency of a position across job levels DENR-wide.
 Revisions in the mechanics for scoring/interpretation of assessment results to make it

more comprehensive (by adding self-assessment of superior’s assessment) and more
accurate (by using numerical values to score the presence/absence of each competency
indicator).
 Consolidating the four (4) CBS Manuals into one Updated Competency Framework Manual
with that for the Support positions as the main manual (since all the bureaus and ROs have

support positions) and reflecting those for the technical (staff bureaus and ROs), EMB and
MGB as Annexes 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
Uses of the Competency-Based System
The CBS provides the prescribed competencies that should be utilized by DENR personnel in the
performance of their duties. The CBS can be used to provide a solid basis for the implementation
of the following human resource initiatives:
 developing and conducting professional development programs

 describing competency requirements for positions
 recruitment, selection and placement
 self appraisal and career development
 performance appraisal
 assessment of relevant competency required by specific delivery units
The CBS is part of an HR strategy under organization development that is continually evolving as
depicted below in the graphic representation of its applications:
At present, the HRDS aims to use the CBS as a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) tool that will
serve as the primary basis in preparing the DENR’s Capability Building Program. The CBS will be
helpful in retooling personnel in their new assignments under the rationalized set-up and in
strengthening the career development initiatives of DENR for its employees. By using the CBS in
assessing employees’ competencies, DENR will be able to come up with an Individual
Competency Profile that forms part of the Agency’s Strategic HR Plan which is part of the CSC’s
requirement in accrediting agencies under the PRIME-HRM.
Other future HR applications of CBS in the DENR are in the establishment of a competency-based
recruitment and selection system, competency-based career development system and
competency-based succession planning.

The CBS developed is categorized into technical and cross-cutting, core/organizational and
leadership competencies of the entire Department contained in four (4) separate manuals as
follows:

Methodology
The CBS was introduced in the DENR in 2006 through the German Technical Cooperation
Agency's Competency Assessment Project. It describes the range of knowledge, skills and
attributes utilized by DENR support personnel for high level performance. The CBS model then
consists of seventy-five (75) functional competencies, eleven (11) universal (personal,
interpersonal and organizational) competencies, six (6) leadership/management competencies,
and five (5) competency levels for each of the identified competencies.
As of 2007, a draft CBS Manual for support positions was prepared and subjected to regional
consultations and validation. This was followed by the preparation of CBS Manual for line
bureaus in 2008.
In 2014, the Human Resource Development Service (HRDS) updated the CBS cognizant of the
new organizational structure and staffing pattern as a result of its rationalization plan
implementation by the Technical CBS Committees (TCT). It contains a new list of required
competencies based on the Department's current thrusts and directions, rationalized set-up and
CSC's competency model under MC No. 3 s. 2012. The updated competency framework consists
of the following components: two hundred eighty-four (284) functional/technical and cross-
cutting competencies (total for DENR technical and support, EMB and MGB positions); seven (7)
core/organizational competencies; seven (7) leadership/management competencies; and four
(4) proficiency levels for each of the identified competencies. An orientation and validation
workshop was conducted last August 26, 2014 at the DENR Social Hall to present the initial
output (Draft Updated CBS Manual with updated CBS position profile) and was pre-tested last
September 25, 2014 through a competency assessment made by members of the TCT.

For 2016, the Department revisited the CBS and conducted two (2) workshops to enhance the
competencies for support positions in the Central Office and technical positions in the regional
offices and staff bureaus. As a result of these workshops, the inclusion of ten (10) new
functional competencies and one (1) core/organizational competency have been added,
including changes in the behavioral indicators of some competencies. In
leadership/management, DENR has adopted the five (5) competencies prescribed by CSC MC No.
5 s. 2016 which integrated the existing seven (7) competencies. The position profiles, which
indicate the required competency level per competency of a position across job levels DENR-
wide, were also updated and adjusted as necessary to conform to the existing hierarchy of
positions in the Department.
The Manual shall be updated every two (2) years or as necessary to be responsive to the needs
of the organization.
Structure of the CBS/Framework
The competency framework consists of the following components:
 Two hundred ninety-eight (298) functional/technical and cross-cutting competencies

(total for DENR technical and support, EMB and MGB positions) that are coded based on
the two (2) prominent letters of their occupational service/group
 Eight (8) core/ organizational competencies
 Five (5) leadership/management competencies
 Four (4) proficiency levels for each of the identified competencies defined as follows:
Level Basic Intermediate Advanced Superior

O Beginner)
N
• At the Basic level, the employee possesses routine/working knowledge of the

competency and can contribute with assistance.
• At Intermediate level, the employee can contribute independently and can already
enlarge on the competency as s/he is already experienced.
• At Advanced level, the employee has significant expert knowledge and can contribute
with mentoring by guiding others on the competency.
• At Superior level, the employee has strategic knowledge and can contribute with
visioning as an expert who can influence others on the competency.
Competency or Proficiency Levels

These are:
 Clusters of behaviors grouped in graduating proficiencies and referred to as competency
indicators (CIs). They are numbered per competency level for easy reference;

 Typically, the behaviors build on each other or are cumulative (except in some cases). It
would be difficult for an employee to consistently demonstrate a high level behavior
without a foundation at the lower levels. Thus, as competencies increases in level of
complexity and difficulty, the employee is expected to possesses the lower level
competency indicators to attain those for higher level/s; and
 Competency levels are all successful or positive indicators of a given competency.
Wording of the Competency Levels
Competency indicators start with verbs in the active voice since they are descriptions of work
observable behaviors and/or abilities. Since all competencies are abilities, in expressing the CI,
the term “Can” or “Able to” at the start of the sentence is already dropped. CIs differ from job
descriptions in that it does not address specific duties or responsibilities of specific positions.
Each of the competencies is coded and scaled to four (4) levels to indicate the various level of
competency demonstration for various positions.
Position Profiling
The level of proficiency per position is determined in all the technical/cross-cutting,

core/organizational and leadership competencies required for each DENR position. The
objective of position profiling is to establish the standard level of competencies for the different
positions in the DENR.
In position profiling, what is being profiled is the position and not the employee. In doing this,
the duties and responsibilities of the position and how it relates to other positions in the
organization as per position classification under the Salary Standardization Law and other units
are thoroughly considered.
Person Profiling or Incumbent Assessment
Competency assessment is aimed at assessing the actual level of proficiency of each incumbent
of the position in all therequired technical/cross-cutting, core/organizational and leadership
competencies of a given position.
The resulting gap in the required and the actual level of competencies of each employee shall
serve as basis for his/her development need and career pathing/mapping. This system can also
be used to provide employees a schematic blueprint for personal and professional development
for both DENR initiated programs and otherwise.
Maintenance of the Competency Framework
The CBS is reviewed regularly, and feedback from members of DENR management and other
concerned officials and employees using this framework will always be welcome to ensure its
continued relevance and to further enhance its clarity and usefulness.
The maintenance of the CBS is the responsibility of the DENR’s HRDS and concerned Bureau/RO
HRD Units.

SECTION 3
MECHANICS FOR ASSESSMENT

SECTION 3. COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT (CA): MECHANICS FOR ASSESSMENT
In using the CBS standards for assessing employee competencies, the required competency level of
proficiency of a position is reflected in the CBS Position Profile. Below are the guidelines for position
profiling and instructions for accomplishing the CA instrument and for interpreting the results.
3.1 POSITION PROFILING
• The CBS position profile defines the required level of proficiency for each technical,
core/organizational and leadership competencies that is ideal for each position in DENR.
• The objective of the position profiling stage is to determine the importance and level of
competencies for the different positions in DENR. In this stage, what is being considered is the
position, not the employee.
• In profiling the position, one must consider the duties and responsibilities of the position, and
how it relates to other positions in the organization as well as the progression of knowledge,
skills and attributes that are required as the position level advances.
A. Position Profiling Guidelines
Given a particular job role/KRA, it is expected that a certain "profile" of behaviors would lead to
effective performance such that the position profile for a Division Chief would be more complex
than an entry- level position.
As a general rule, positions in the same job level or grade have the same required level of
proficiency per competency. For technical competencies, the required competency level
advances as the position level advances as shown in the table below. The core/organizational
competencies are present in all DENR employees varying in levels only based on their position.
On the other hand, leadership competencies are required only for supervisory or managerial
positions. Senior level positions with SG18/19 are also required to have leadership
competencies since they are generally considered as section/unit chiefs in a division.
The table below is used as guide in determining required level of proficiency for a position and
also shows the typical linkage between salary grades and the competency levels discussed
above.

Position/ SG Required Rationale

Professional Category
Highest position level in its job group thus, should
Division Chiefs, SG 24 Superior possess the highest proficiency level or level Superior;
except for some technical competencies where they
have to function as generalists (instead of specialists)
as the overall unit heads of their division.
Supervising/Section Advanced Performs supervisory functions thus, should have

Chief, SG 22 and 18 Advanced level skills which is coaching and guiding. To
be able to coach, one should have mastery or
significant expert knowledge of the required
competency.
Specialist II, SG 15 Intermediate Performs highly technical functions gained through

Specialist I, SG 11 experience in the position and/or formal degree and
training
Sub-Professional Category
Aide, SG 1-6 Basic Performs routine technical functions with immediate
supervision
Assistant, SG 7-10 Intermediate The highest level that can be assigned to those without
supervisory functions under the sub-professional
category. This level is assigned to a 1st level position’s
area of specialization but may vary with regards to
other skills depending on the position’s major
deliverable.
Supervisory positions, SG 8- Advanced Discharges supervisory functions that require them to
15 coach and guide others on the needed competencies.

3.2 Mechanics for Competency Assessment
The Competency Assessment (CA) Instrument is accomplished by the supervisor as a form of self-
assessment. Staff assessments are also made by the immediate supervisor concerned; the results of
which are discussed by the supervisor with his/her immediate staff/s for developmental purposes. The
supervisor can also ask his/her staff to do a self-assessment which s/he can validate.
3.2.1 Accomplishing the CA Instrument
1. The individual as “assessor” is asked to indicate his/her name, position title (based on appointment
papers)/ designation (if applicable) in the appropriate boxes in the CA form.
2. Each CA form has four (4) parts namely:
A. Technical Competencies
B. Cross-Cutting Competencies
C. Core/Organizational Competencies
D. Leadership Competencies (for supervisors only)
3. Look for the list of required competencies and competency level of one’s position at the CBS
Position Profile.
4. Rate one’s self in all of the competency indicators (CIs) of each required competency listed in the CA
Form for his/her Service/Bureau/RO/division using the following scale:
SELF ASSESSMENT INTERPRETATION
RATING
This is my strength. I manifest/do this indicator even without
4 supervision but I need continuous interventions to enhance what I
have.
More often I manifest/do this indicator and with minimum
3 supervision. Specific intervention to strengthen what I have is
needed.
I seldom manifest/do this indicator and will require supervision.
2 Developmental intervention is needed to improve what I have.
I do not manifest/do this indicator. But if it’s required, I need

1 supervision. Immediate intervention is needed.
5. Compute the average rating by adding the scores in all of the CIs and dividing it by its total
number. Exclude the number of CIs that are not applicable (NA) to the job.
Note: Mark them as NA in the CA form
6. As a supervisor (SG 18-24 and those who are designated as OIC division/section chiefs regardless
of their SGs), s/he will assess his/herself in all of the competency levels from Basic to
Advanced/Superior.
7. Staffs will be rated up to the required level indicated in the CBS Position Profile for their position.

Below is an example for guidance.

The personnel/incumbent possesses above average
C competency indicators and is meeting the
2.51-3.50 (Competent) standards of a competency. Identified needs should
be addressed by specific developmental
intervention.
The personnel/incumbent possesses below average
1.51-2.50 D competency. Developmental interventions should
(Developing) be given priority.
The personnel/incumbent possesses few indicators
1.00-1.50 B of a competency that is required. Developmental
(Beginner) interventions should be prioritized and with urgency.
For the example above, the 3.93 self-rating for AS1 of the Superior falls under the range of E or Expert
while the 2.8 staff rating falls under C or Competent.
8. Summarize the assessment rating using the CA Individual Summary Form.

3.3 Collation of Assessment Results
1. The interpretation is made per competency and there is no single overall score for all of the
required competencies since the intention is to profile an employee’s proficiency level on a per
competency basis and not to measure his/her overall performance.
2. The CA instrument is useful in determining the priority areas for development for each
office/division/unit.
3. Competency assessment results of D (Developing) and B (Beginner) indicate competency gaps in
DENR personnel’s competency profile while competency strengths are manifested by E (Expert)
and C (Competent) CA scores.

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
DENR is guided by its vision of effectively managing the country’s environment and natural resources
and at the same time providing its people the opportunity to balance their professional as well as
personal growth with continuous learning. In adhering to its vision and mission, DENR must ensure that
the competencies of its staff must be current with the requirements of its rationalized set-up and
systems. The development and retention of a competent and effective workforce is one of the focal
points of the organization. In order to come up with the basis for determining the retooling needs of its
employees, a competency-based system was established in the DENR in 2006-2008 as one of the
support interventions for the implementation of the Rationalization Plan.
The DENR’s CBS was developed for all types of positions in the central/regional offices and staff/line
bureaus to come up with a training and development plan based on the DENR’s rationalized
organization structure and staffing complement. The CBS tool was used to assess the competencies of
DENR personnel and the result used as inputs in the development of a Training and Development (T&D)
Plan. The said competency assessment served as a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) tool where
competency gaps were proposed to be addressed by training as short-term development intervention.
The updating of the CBS involved the participation of all the division heads/ key people in the CO, staff
and line bureaus and RO IVA (as the CBS pilot region) through consultative workshops. The Updated CBS
is aligned to the rationalized DENR organization set up and the CSC’s MC 3, s. 2012 re the Program to
Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) which
requires competency mapping as one of its strategic interventions.
To ensure sustained use and maintenance of the CBS, a Training Manual is prepared for all the HRD
Officers of the entire DENR to serve as their guide on how to conduct a competency-based TNA and
formulate the corresponding Training Plan as the primary basis in preparing the DENR’s Capability
Building Program.
1.2 Purpose of the Manual
The Training Manual aims to equip the DENR HRDS and its HRD counterparts in the Bureaus and
Regional Offices in being able to undertake the following:
 Identify competency gaps through competency assessment as an approach to training needs

analysis;
 Address competency gaps through formulation of Training Plans aligned to the DENR’s
development thrusts/ program priorities/ MFOs.
The Manual will provide clear direction, to enable the HRD Officers to perform the competency-based
TNA process and formulate the resulting Training Plan.

1.3 Outline of the Manual
The DENR Training Manual has four (4) sections:
Section 1 – Introduction – Contains the background, purpose of the manual and its outline.
Section 2 – The Training & Development Function– It provides a brief discussion of the training cycle
and TNA as the first training function; the approaches in TNA; and the use of the CBS as a
TNA Tool and the preparation of the TNA Report.
Section 3 – The Training & Development Plan – It contains the steps in formulating the training plan
based on the TNA Report and its resulting template.
Section 4 – The Role of the Human Resource Management and Development Service/Sections – It
contains the development direction of the HRDS under the rationalized set-up, the
upgrading of the competencies of staff and some of its systems and procedures including
maintenance of the CBS.

SECTION 2. The Training & Development (T&D) T&D Function & Competency- Training Plan
TNA Based TNA Formulation
Function & TNA
Training is essential if an organization is to develop and sustain its workforce excellence. The quality of
an organization’s service delivery is highly dependent on the competence of its personnel which in turn
should be continuously developed and upgraded through a comprehensive and sustainable training and
development program. T&D is needed to equip/retool the human resources with the needed
competencies for the successful performance of their job and the attainment of DENR’s Vision/Mission
and Goals.
This section introduces us to the basic concepts and principles of training. It also contains a review of
the training cycle and discusses the basic concepts and approaches in conducting a TNA.
Training Defined
Training is a systematic process of developing/enhancing knowledge, skills and attitudes for current and
future jobs. The primary objective of training is to bring about change – an increase in knowledge, the
acquisition of a skill, or the development of confidence and good judgment.
Training can be either formal or non-formal and covers other training related activities and programs,
such as continuing education, in-service or on-the-job trainings and staff development which eventually
lead to changes in performance behavior.
2.1 The Training Cycle
In implementing T&D activities, a series of sequential interrelated steps or continuous cycle is

undertaken which result in organized, efficient and cost-effective training.
The cycle has four distinct stages (as shown below in Figure 1) namely:
 Training needs analysis – Training needs analysis (TNA) is conducted to determine competency
gaps of the employees/staff of the organization. The identified competency gap/s will be the
basis in the formulation of training and non-training recommendations. This phase aims to
identify what training is needed and to ensure that the training is based on reliable and
identified training requirements. The process involves job and task analysis, performance
review, incumbent analysis, competency gap analysis and formulation of recommendations.
 Training design – This includes the following activities: formulation of training title, objectives,
designing the training module, development of training materials and session guides and
arrangement for training delivery. The final flow of the training results from work done in this
phase.
 Training Implementation - This involves the effective delivery of the formulated training plan.
This is the stage when the trainer should be able to manage the dynamics of the group and to
see to it that the training content are communicated to and shared clearly with the participants.
Under this stage all arrangements and preparations prior to the conduct of the training,
requirements during the training and after the completion of the training are attended to.

 Training Evaluation - Evaluation is the systematic way of determining the strengths, weaknesses
and effects of the training. It involves the analysis of the value of the training in terms of
narrowing the competency gaps and instilling among the participants the desired knowledge
and skills and changes or re-orientation in attitudes. In addition, during the actual training, the
trainer monitors progress and response of participants to the daily training activities to evaluate
the effectiveness of the design and delivery as the training unfolds, and making adjustments or
changes during the session as needed.
Figure 1. The Training Cycle
As shown in Figure 1, the cycle starts with a needs analysis and returns back to another needs analysis
in its attempt to respond to the dynamic demands of the organization. Since the process is cyclic, it can
be approached at any stage; but the ideal starting point is identifying training needs or TNA. This phase
is then followed by: the design and development of the corresponding training programs that will
address the identified training needs; the delivery of these programs; and the evaluation of the
effectiveness of these programs. The result of the training evaluation becomes a TNA input which will
again be the basis for modification/ development of subsequent program design for delivery and
evaluation.
These four (4) stages in the training cycle are to be viewed in their entirety, not as a series of isolated
activities since the outcome of one stage provides the inputs for the next stage and the absence of any
stage would undermine the validity of the whole process.
In determining training needs, one has to first consider the four kinds of needs of the organization,
namely:
 business needs – or the goals of an organization, department or unit that are expressed in
operational terms;
 performance needs – refer to on-the- job behavioral requirements from people who are
performing specific job and describe what people need to do if the business needs are to be met;

 work environment needs - identify what system and processes within the work environment of the
performer must be modified if the performance needs are to be achieved; and
 learning needs – are what people must learn if they are to perform successfully.
Since needs are gaps that prevents the attainment of performance targets, it is imperative that the HRD
Officer be able to differentiate first between a learning need and a non-learning need.
A learning need is a gap between desired and actual job performance that results from the lack of
appropriate knowledge, skills, or attitudes while a non-learning need is a gap between desired and
actual job performance that results from the lack of appropriate support systems, structures or
environment of the workers; thus, cannot be addressed through training.
Although all stages of the training cycle are important; but if the actual training needs is not identified,
then the training developed will not achieve its correct purpose.
2.2 Identifying Training Needs
The quality of employee performance is a major concern of managers in any organization. Most
organizations regard training as a major intervention towards the efficient performance of employees
of their assigned tasks and responsibilities. However, a training program to be successful must be able
to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to address performance deficiencies. Performance
deficiencies or competency gaps, on the other hand, can be determined through a careful assessment
of training needs. Results of training needs assessment should serve as the basis in the identification of
priority training and the development of the training activity.
Training Needs Analysis (TNA) Defined
A training need is a learning need that can be addressed through a training intervention. A TNA is a
systematic process for identifying and describing training and development needs. It looks into the
nature of the problems of an organization and ultimately focuses on the identification of the specific
training needs of the target participants. This is primarily aimed at identifying performance and
competency gaps of employees in the organization. TNA is also a tool used in identifying what
educational courses or activities are to be provided to employees to improve their work productivity.
Focus should be on needs rather than desires.
Purpose of TNA
Training needs analysis is conducted to:
 validate if causes of performance discrepancy are due to competency gaps and to determine
whether training is the best solution;
 identify training goals, specifically on what areas of knowledge and skills to be considered for those
who will be trained so that they could improve their job performance
 decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve their job performance
and meet organizational goals;
 provide a basis for measurement/evaluation and come up with the desired training outcomes; and

 gain management support for the recommended T&D activity and generate buy-in among
stakeholders.
Benefits from TNA
 Training, learning and development are targeted to the needs of the organization and its
employees.
 Learning and development needs are identified in sufficient time to ensure they can be met in the
most appropriate way.
 Prioritizing of learning and development can take place in a rational way.
 Budgets can be prepared in a rational way.
 Training and development can be properly planned.
 Training and development resources can be used efficiently and effectively.
 The foundation for the evaluation of the training and development is secure.
 Ownership of the training and development by all those involved is encouraged.
 Provides a focus and direction for the investment an organization has to make in its people.
Situations when TNA is necessary
The decision to conduct a TNA can be guided by the following questions:
1. What is happening in the organization that might lead to the conduct of a training needs analysis?
Potential causes might include the following:
- new programs; change in focus and directions
- new structure and relationships
- new procedures and systems/new standards
- hiring new staffs
- internal promotions or transfer of unit head, individuals
- new equipment
2. Are there any negative indicators in the organization? For example:

- clients’ complaints
- increasing number of grievance and/or disciplinary situations
- increasing turnover of experienced employees
- disputes
- standards of work not being achieved
- wavering enthusiasm for work among employees
- delay in completing work, frequent errors, reports of dissatisfaction
- high absenteeism
3. What external influences are impacting on performance? For example:

- new legislation
- amendments to standing legislation
- new government programs and development directions
- clients requirements

2.3 Approaches in TNA
There are two commonly used approaches in conducting a TNA, namely:
1) Problem Solving Approach
This approach responds to an immediate performance deficiency by identifying the causes

related to lack of knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA). It begins with defining the problem,
finding the need or performance gap, separating Learning from Non-Learning Needs, assigning
priorities and testing management’s support and commitment for the delivery of needed
training.
The advantages in using this approach are that it leads to immediate satisfaction when the
problem is solved and also to high motivation since learning activities are designed to solve
immediate problems. If relied on as the main TNA method however, it can lead to crisis
planning which is reactive; and does not lead to sequenced learning as well as new
opportunities for learning.
2) Competency-based
This approach responds to immediate performance deficiency and avoids future deficiencies by
identifying a comprehensive set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for successful
performance of the task.
This approach can be used with the aid of a competency model or framework of an
organization. The framework contains the list of required competencies of a position/job, the
competency definition and standards to enable the identification of competency gaps in
required and actual performance. Likewise, learning needs must be separated from non-learning
needs and the identification of learning needs that can be answered through training.
The advantages in using this approach are that it lead to an organized sequence of learning as it
provides a complete set of learning necessary for a particular job or role as well as basis for
designing orientation or basic training and is more adaptable (than problem analysis) to
individual needs and pacing. However, this approach is more difficult to use as it requires a great
deal of background information about behaviors required in successful execution of task and
does not lead to immediate problem solution.
A combination of both approaches however, can be used by DENR in identifying its learning and
training needs as the situation/condition calls for. The next section details the use of DENR’s Updated
CBS Manual as a TNA tool.

T&D Function & Competency- Training Plan
SECTION 3. Using the CBS as a TNA Tool TNA Based TNA Formulation
The CBS contains the list of competencies that represent a range of behaviors per position/job which
serves as competency standards. The individual is assessed using these standards and the resulting
competency gap between his/her required level and actual competency level is the learning need that
can either be addressed through training or other non-training interventions.
Steps in Conducting a Needs Assessment
Training needs analysis starts with the identification of competency gaps. This involves the conduct of
competency assessment and the identification of possible solutions. In the CBS, a careful analysis of the
competencies needed to successfully perform a job should precede training development. Figure 2
illustrates the framework for Competency/Training needs analysis and the steps in using it as TNA.

Figure 2. Competency/Training Needs Analysis Framework

A brief introduction to the DENR’s CBS is discussed below to fully understand how each of the steps
mentioned above comes together in adopting it as a TNA tool.
3.1 Structure of the DENR CBS/Framework
The updated competency framework contains the following features:
 Two-Hundred Eighty-Four (284) functional/technical and cross-cutting competencies (total for

DENR technical and support, EMB and MGB positions) that are coded based on the 2 prominent
letters of their occupational service/group
 Seven (7) core/ organizational competencies
 Seven (7) leadership/management competencies
 Four proficiency levels for each of the identified competencies defined as follows:
Level
Basic Intermediate Advanced Superior
D
E
S Contributing with Contributing Contributing with Contributing with
C Assistance Independently Mentoring Visioning
R
I
P Has working Experienced Coach Expert
T knowledge (is enlarging the (is guiding others (is influencing
I (is applying the competency) on the others on the
O Competency as a competency) competency)
N Beginner)
• At the Basic level, the employee possesses routine/working knowledge of the competency and
can contribute with assistance.
• At Intermediate level, the employee can contribute independently and can already enlarge on
the competency as s/he has gained experience.
• At Advanced level, the employee has significant expert knowledge and can contribute with
mentoring by guiding others on the competency.
• At Superior level, the employee has strategic knowledge and can contribute with visioning as an
expert who can influence others on the competency.
Competency Levels are clusters of behaviors grouped in graduating proficiencies and referred to as
competency indicators (CIs). They are numbered per competency level for easy reference.
Typically, the behaviors build on each other or are cumulative. It would be difficult for an employee to
consistently demonstrate a high level behavior without foundation at the lower levels. Thus, as
competencies increase in level of complexity and difficulty, the employee is expected to possess the

lower level competency indicators to attain those for higher level/s. Competency levels are worded
positively since they are all successful indicators of a given competency.
3.2 Mechanics for Assessment
The conduct of competency assessment consists of: 1) preparing the CA instrument/form as lifted from
the updated CBS Manual and reproducing said forms based on the number of “assessors” or heads; 2)
the actual administration of the CA instrument; and 3) analysis of the assessment results to determine
competency gaps for training and development purposes.
In using the CBS standards for assessing employee competencies, the required competency level of a
position is considered or what is called as position profiling.
3.2.a Position Profiling (Step 1.A in Figure 2 above)
The CBS position profile defines the required level of proficiency for each technical, core/organizational
and leadership competencies that is ideal for each position in DENR. This is a tool that identifies the
skill and knowledge requirement of a given position/job to perform the task successfully.
It should be noted that in position profiling, what is being profiled is the position and not the employee.
In profiling the position/setting the required competency level for a position, one must consider the
duties and responsibilities of the position and how it relates to other positions in the organization (as
per Salary Standardization Law) as well as the progression of knowledge, skills and attributes that are
required as the position level advances.
The table below is used as guide in determining required level of proficiency for a position and also
shows the typical linkage between salary grades (SG) and the competency levels discussed above.
Position/ SG Required Rationale

Level
Professional Category
Highest position level in its job group thus, should
Division Chiefs, SG 24 Superior possess the highest proficiency level or level Superior;
except for some technical competencies where they
have to function as generalists (instead of specialists)
as the overall unit heads of their division.
Supervising/Section Advanced Performs supervisory functions thus, should have

Chief, SG 22 and 18 Advanced level skills which is coaching and guiding. To
be able to coach, one should have mastery or
significant expert knowledge of the required
competency.

Specialist II, SG 15 Intermediate Performs highly technical functions gained through
Specialist I, SG 11 experience in the position and/or formal degree and
training
Sub-Professional Category
Aide, SG 1-6 Basic Performs routine technical functions with immediate
supervision
Assistant, SG 7-10 Intermediate The highest level that can be assigned to those without
supervisory functions under the sub-professional
category. This level is assigned to a 1st level position’s
area of specialization but may vary with regards to
other skills depending on the position’s major
deliverable.
Supervisory positions, SG 8- Advanced Discharges supervisory functions that require them to
15 coach and guide others on the needed competencies.
Given a particular job role, it is expected that a certain "profile" of behaviors would lead to effective
performance such that the position profile for a Division Chief would be more complex than an entry-
level position.
As a general rule, positions in the same job level or grade have the same required level of proficiency
per competency. For technical competencies, the required competency level advances as the position
level advances as shown in the table above. The core/organizational competencies are present in all
DENR employees varying in levels only based on their position. On the other hand, leadership
competencies are required only for supervisory or managerial positions. Senior level positions with
SG18/19 are also required to have leadership competencies since they are generally considered as
section/unit chiefs in a division.
3.2.b Person Profiling or Incumbent Assessment (IA) (Step 1.B in Figure 2 above)
Person profiling is aimed at assessing the actual level of proficiency of the incumbent of the position in
all the required competencies of a given position as indicated in the CBS Position Profile.
The resulting gap in the required and the actual level of competencies of each employee shall serve as
basis for his/her development need and career pathing/mapping. The IA or person profiling will produce
the Individual Competency Profile required by the CSC in coming up with the agency’s Strategic HR Plan.
3.2.c Accomplishing the CA Instrument
In conducting the CA, a brief orientation of CBS and how to accomplish the form will be given by the
HRD Officer to ensure that forms are filled-up correctly and the data collected will generate the
individual competency profile. The CA instrument will be administered to unit heads/supervisors to
assess their level of training need in their required competencies and that of their staffs. After

accomplishing the CA form, these are submitted to the HRD staff that will check it for
completeness/correctness of entries. Data from each of the respondent are then tallied to come up
with a CA Report containing the findings of the assessment conducted.
The CA Form is accomplished by the supervisor as a form of self-assessment. Staff assessments are also
made by the immediate supervisor concerned; the results of which are discussed by the supervisor
with his/her immediate staff/s for developmental purposes. The supervisor can also ask his/her staff to
do a self-assessment which s/he can validate as the case may be.
Following are the steps in accomplishing the CA Form:
1. The individual as “assessor” is asked to indicate his/her name, position title (based on appointment
papers)/ designation (if applicable) in the appropriate boxes in the CA form (see Annex A for Sample
CA Form).
2. Each CA form has four (4) parts namely:
A. Technical Competencies
B. Cross-Cutting Competencies
C. Core/Organizational Competencies
D. Leadership Competencies (for supervisors only)
3. Look for the list of required competencies and competency level of one’s position at the CBS
Position Profile.
4. Rate one’s self in all of the competency indicators (CIs) of each required competency listed in the CA
Form for his/her office/division using the following scale:
SELF ASSESSMENT INTERPRETATION
RATING
This is my strength. I manifest/do this indicator even without
4 supervision but I need continuous interventions to enhance what
I have.
More often I manifest/do this indicator and with minimum
3 supervision. Specific intervention to strengthen what I have is
needed.
I seldom manifest/do this indicator and will require supervision.
2 Developmental intervention is needed to improve what I have.
I do not manifest/do this indicator. But if it’s required, I need

1 supervision. Immediate intervention is needed.
5. Compute the average rating by adding the scores in all of the CIs and dividing it by its total
number. Exclude the number of CIs that are not applicable (NA) to the job.
Note: Mark them as NA in the CA form
6. As a supervisor (SG 18-24 and those who are designated as OIC division/section chiefs regardless
of their SGs), s/he will assess his/herself in all of the competency levels from Basic to
Advanced/Superior.

7. Staffs will be rated up to the required level indicated in the CBS Position Profile for their position.

8. The results of the rating on each competency have the following competency description:
COMPETENCY COMPETENCY INTERPRETATION
RANGE DESCRIPTION
The personnel/incumbent possesses all/almost all of
E the competency indicators required. Identified
3.51-4.00 (Expert) strengths should be maintained and developmental
interventions should be provided continuously.
The personnel/incumbent possesses above average
C competency indicators and is meeting the
2.51-3.50 (Competent) standards of a competency. Identified needs
should be addressed by specific developmental
intervention.
The personnel/incumbent possesses below average
1.51-2.50 D competency. Developmental interventions should
(Developing) be given priority.
The personnel/incumbent possesses few indicators of a
1.00-1.50 B competency that is required. Developmental
(Beginner) interventions should be prioritized and with
urgency.
For the example above, the 3.93 self-rating for AS1 of the Superior falls under the range of E or Expert
while the 2.8 staff rating falls under C or Competent.
8. Summarize the assessment rating using the CA Individual Summary Form (See Annex A.1).

3.2.d Preparing the CA Report
At this stage, the results of the CA are analyzed. In preparing the CA report, the format below is
prescribed for uniformity of presentation of data.
 Report Format
The report contains the following sections (see attached CA Report template as Annex B):
1) Executive summary - contains a brief overview of the report, including the purpose and objectives of
the CA, how it was carried out, where and when, major findings, conclusions and recommendations;
usually one-two pages only
2) Introduction – contains project overview, background and rationale, and specific objectives and
output which specifies the kind of improvement in performance expected from the participants to
demonstrate after completion of the training
3) The Project Framework – contains the CBS roadmap that enumerates the steps adopted in the
development of the CBS and provides the framework to help plan and coordinate HR developments
enumerated in the diagram
4) CA Process – includes a brief discussion of the CBS Features/structure of the competency model, data
gathering method which is through conduct of CA and period conducted, and limitations, if any.
5) Results of the Assessment – includes the sources of data, summary and analysis of CA profiles of each
unit/division per competency (technical, cross-cutting, core/organizational, and leadership) and the
overall CA results which contains the identified competency gaps (as ranked from highest to lowest in
combined “D” and “B” scores). The results are presented in bar graphs. It also includes discussion of
identified competency gaps and possible causes (policy, non-training, etc.) and consequences of the
resulting performance discrepancy/personnel/ unit affected.
6) Suggested Interventions – identifies possible solutions and growth opportunities (Step 2, Figure 2)
and includes recommended training solutions (If people are not doing their jobs effectively because
of a lack of knowledge or skills, attitudes) and target learners; other possible non-training solutions
and population covered (follow-thru programs); and brief rationale/criteria for recommendations (if
applicable).
7) Conclusion & Next Steps – contains insights and concluding words and proposed next steps such as
preparation of next year’s training plan and its approval and proposed sustainability mechanisms
8) Annexes: includes detailed information referred to in other sections such as forms used, legal basis
(office order), and names of those who conducted the CA/TNA, etc.
 Collation of Assessment Results and Identifying priorities and importance of problems/gaps
In interpreting the CA data, the HRD Officer is guided by the following salient points:
1) The interpretation of the CA results is made per competency and there is no single overall score for
all of the required competencies since the intention is to profile an employee’s proficiency level on all
of the required competencies for his/her position and not to rank them as to their competency level.
2) Competency assessment results of D (Developing) and B (Beginner) indicate competency gaps/

areas for improvement in DENR personnel’s competency profile while competency strengths are
manifested by E (Expert) and C (Competent) scores. Competency gaps serve as an indicator of a
learning/training need of the respondents that are considered as the priority areas for
development of each organizational unit in DENR.
3) Assess the identified gap/training needs in the light of DENR goals, realities and constraints, such
as availability of resources, etc.
4) The information in the CA Report on the competency areas of strengths and areas for
improvement are then translated into a training plan. The plan identifies the participants’
indicative needs for learnings and skills as reflected into specific training courses and training
topics.
At present, the HRDS aims to use the CBS as a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) tool that will serve as
the primary basis in preparing the DENR’s Capability Building Program. The CBS will be helpful in
retooling personnel in their new assignments under the new set-up and in strengthening the career
development initiatives of DENR for its employees.
5) Furthermore, by using the CBS in assessing employees’ competencies, DENR will be able to come up
with an Individual Competency Profile that forms part of the Agency’s Strategic HR Plan which is part
of the CSC’s requirement in accrediting agencies under the PRIME-HRM.

T&D Function & Competency- Training Plan
TNA Based TNA Formulation
SECTION 4. Formulating the T&D Plan
The training needs identified in the CA Report serves as the basis for crafting the Training Plan. The
Training Plan contains the details of the training programs that will address the competency gaps
identified in the report (see Annex C for Training Plan Template).
A Training Plan is a listing of training and development interventions needed by a position, group or
organization. It is a working document as it is revised on a continuous basis as decisions are made and
issues are resolved. The objective of the Training Plan is to define the strategies, tasks, and methods
that will be used to meet the training requirements to provide employees a schematic blueprint for
personal and professional development for both DENR initiated programs and otherwise.
Specifically, the plan should contain the following:
 Learning objectives derived from results of TNA.
 Translation of learning need into learning activities designed to meet them.
 Training Offerings that describes the type of training to be delivered for target participants,
including the title of the training, brief description of the training, objectives and goals of the
training and the length of the training.
The training courses contained in the plan are presented per type/category of training as per CBS
namely: technical trainings refer to functional courses based on their required technical
competencies; leadership trainings refer to management and supervisory courses for division/unit
heads (SG 18 and above); and behavioral trainings refer to soft skills courses based on their
required core/organizational competencies.
The plan also contains an enumeration of suggested topics/modules per training course. The topics
can be drawn from the competency indicators (from Basic to Superior) of a given competency in
the updated CBS supplemented by other reference materials on the subject.
 It also indicates how training will be acquired whether in-house classroom type/ on-the job or
external local or abroad; specifies when training will be implemented within the year (schedule).
 Approach and instructional delivery method chosen to meet the training objectives.
Courses employs adult learning principles and makes use of participatory methods to create an
effective learning environment that will encourage participants to “learn by doing” based on
practical experiences. Training methods include exercises, group discussions, workshop group
presentations, and lecture-discussions. Special attention is given on how to use the methods to
facilitate participatory learning and exchange of ideas and experience. Also employed are “train-

the-trainer” approaches to leverage extant training resources across DENR through the conduct of
cascade sessions for external trainings attended.
 Indicates the budget requirement for such training which include food, venue/accommodation (for
live-in and live out), supplies and materials and resource person/facilitator. The DENR’s formula for
computing budget per training will be adopted.
Section 5 – The Role of the HRD Service/Sections
In implementing the CBS in DENR, HRDS will be responsible for the following deliverables:
 Administration of the CBS tools in their respective offices, preparation of the CA Report and the
corresponding annual training plan.
 Regularly review and update the CBS to ensure its continued relevance as a TNA tool in
coordination with concerned units.
 Work proactively with the other units to advocate the use of CBS as a TNA tool and in the
process come up with the employees “Individual Competency Profile” database.
 Introduce change management strategies which would effectively enable concerned

stakeholders to perform their expected/designated roles and functions in the rationalized set-
up.
 Identify T&D methods through the adoption of a combination of development interventions such
as (a) training and continuing education; (b) mentoring and coaching; (c) experiential learning/
job enrichment, job rotation/cross-posting and (d) special team and individual work assignments
especially for supervisors and chiefs.
 Establish other modes of training such as on-the-job coaching, on-line, distance learning,
partnership with learning resource centers, regional and local institutions as well as development
agencies to address learning needs of the DENR’s workforce.
 Implement a responsive and functional training and development (T&D) system to continuously
develop its workforce in support of the ever-changing demands of the organization.
 Work closely with the HRMS on the successful implementation of a strategic performance
management system that will monitor performance improvement as a result of training and
other development interventions.
