Partnerships

Our model at work

Iveco Trucks Australia Pty Ltd
IVECO Trucks Australia manufactures and distributes light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles for the Australian road transport industry.
Iveco employs over 400 people at its Dandenong plant.

Scope
To gain consistency and a clear succession planning pathway, Iveco Trucks is working with AIM to implement a Competency Framework within their organisation.

Develop
A Competency Framework to provide the business with key job specifications and attributes to ensure individuals are performing their job roles efficiently and effectively. It also provides a pathway for professional development and succession planning.

Implement
AIM is partnering with Iveco using the following process:
• Facilitate focus groups involving all levels of the organisation
• Developing key job role specifications
• Identifying key attributes and behaviors
• Engaging key stakeholders at all levels to ascertain and agree on outcomes
• Delivering and implementing a complete Competency Framework for all levels of the organisation

Evaluation and result
Testimonial from Training Manager Antonio Calero, Iveco Trucks Australia Pty Ltd.
‘Until the day we started working with AIM to implement a Competency Framework, training in Iveco was done ad-hoc. It usually followed a request from an employee who had decided, after consultation with his/her direct manager, that a specific course might be useful.
In most cases, the course selection was based on personal experiences from the employee or the manager. There were no tools to assess the real training needs of each individual. This meant most people felt the lack of an ongoing development plan, which directly affected employee satisfaction and retention.
The first reaction to AIM’s proposal of a Competency Framework was scepticism: some people didn’t trust new ideas – they were still too affected by the previous ‘structureless scenario’. This changed as soon as the activities with AIM started and people could see the content of the program. The brainstorming sessions to analyse key competencies were a huge success and there were so many people who volunteered to participate that we needed to organise more groups than originally planned.
People have since become very conscious of the priority that the company is giving to its employees and their development needs. Training is now seen as something continuous and dynamic that adapts to the needs of the single individual on a structured logic. The general outcome is very positive, where people have a clear vision of their development path to a successful career within the organisation.
Most of the credit for this changed attitude must go to AIM and its professional team, who provided not only a useful tool, but helped people in our company to understand how important appropriate structured training is to improving work performance and employee satisfaction.’
