HCDT Framework

How will I be assessed?

HCDT uses an evidence and perception-based approach to measure your human capital maturity level through three perspectives – processes, competencies, and practices.

Processes

Competencies

Using a 4-stage maturity model

Each key process area is assessed on a 4-stage maturity model. At each successive level of maturity, the HR function improves its functional efficiencies, talent management capabilities, organisational capabilities, and business impact. At stage four, a company can harness the full transformative power of human capital to capitalise on the new economy.
