Competency Task Force Recommendations

Focus on Holistic Competency Development versus only certifications Based on competency definitions for the role, divide certifications into two categories
Core (generic concepts for the role), and Specific (Tools/Technology used for the job)

Establish Unit Competency Councils to facilitate decisions on relevant learning interventions and certifications at unit level. Reduce number of certifications from current policy of two per year to a defined number for each role - based on role competency requirements. Introduce Learning Credit point mechanism, with credits for certifications and other competency building assignments such as evaluated courses, teaching and publications

Key Principles retained from Existing Policy

The objective to ensure that competencies across multiple competency dimensions applicable for a role are acquired during the time a person spends in a role Competency Development Program requirement completion is:
Mandated for promotion Mandated for progression* Not linked to appraisals and CRR

Number of attempts per certification is limited to 2 for every six months, with a minimum gap of 15 days between two successive attempts Concept of Competency Level associated with all Certifications Training will remain optional

* Mandated by units

Credit Point Requirement Organization Perspective

For Promotion
60 Total Credit Points (TCP) per role from all mechanism 45 Assessment Credit Points (ACP) - from Certifications 15 Core Competency Assessment Credit Points (CACP) - from Core Certifications CACP (min 15) ACP (min 45) TCP (min 60)

For Progression
15 Assessment Credit Points (ACP) - from Certifications

This aspect will come under governance of Corporate Competency Council

Credit Point Requirement Unit Perspective

Units will decide on certifications and learning programs to be pursued within the units (Sub-Units / Practice Units) Units can put additional criteria to accumulate credits points from specific Competency Dimensions (Technical/Functional, Process / Project Management, Domain, Behavior) Example
Unit Role Technology / Functional 30 30 15 15 Domain Process / Proj. Mgmt 15 0 15 15 Behavioral Total Assessment Credit Points 45 45 45 45

Credit Point Accumulation - ACP

Assessment Credit Point (ACP) will be a function of design learning effort
A standard certification (recommended) of 45 hour prescribed (design) learning effort to give 15 credit points
Prescribed (Design) Duration 15 Hours 30 Hours 45 Hours 60 Hours Assessment Credit Point 5 10 15 20

For external certifications, we will go by prescribed learning effort from certifying authority, if available. Otherwise, they will be estimated internally for effort

Competency Level concept will continue as a function of complexity of topics addressed in a certification (Based on Competency Definition as per existing practice). Competency Level will not determine Credit Points.

Plan for Laterals

We need to have a provision for laterals joining Infosys, since they may not have enough time to accrue required credits before being considered for a promotion Credit Point requirement for a lateral will be based on number of years s/he has spent in Infosys (in the same role) as on the cut-off date for the cycle
# of years spent in Infosys as on cut-off date
> = 3.0 >= 2.5 and < 3.0 >= 2.0 and < 2.5 >= 1.5 and < 2.0 >= 1.0 and < 1.5 >= 0.5 and < 1.0 < 0.5

Higher Education Scheme (HES) Alignment

Programs identified by HES, with a duration of one year or more, will accrue credit points Programs with a total duration of one year or more will accrue 15 credits for each year, with a cap of 30 credits per program. Accordingly, here are some scenarios:
Program of 6 months duration 0 credits Program of 1 year duration 15 credits Program of 2 year duration 30 credits Program of 3 year duration 30 credits

Credit points may accrue in stages, across multiple planning cycles, as and when employees complete the programs, and provides sufficient proof for the same
