Introduction
Workplace competency refers to explanation of obligatory attributes, skills or behavior for a
peculiar job that is utilized for defining as well as measuring effectiveness of individuals.
Understanding people as well as organization is critical aspect as it will provide an insight into
requirements of firm and accordingly develop skills (Alonso-García, de-Cózar-Macías and
Blazquez-Parra, 2020). This report comprises of self-awareness about self-assessment, results
attained, theoretical concepts and competencies required in workplace.
Extent to which you agree on outcomes of self-assessment
As per self-assessment which was conducted, the results attained were adequate up to some
extent but not completely true. The competencies have been analyzed with respect to analyzing
and solving problems, working well with others, achieving objective, learning &self-
development and adapting to change. Score attained for all these aspects is below average with
respect to other individuals. Being a goal oriented person emphasis is always laid on attainment
of objectives through which overall goals can be accomplished. The result obtained from this
aspect is 1 which do not seems adequate and appropriate. Furthermore, with respect to learning
and self-development, I have emphasized to attain goals and this is being done by acquiring new
knowledge by opting for training, talking with others as well as having online sessions through
which as an individual I can develop. Apart from this, there is a need to enhance skill of
analyzing as well as solving problems as attainment of knowledge or learning is not only
important to succeed but implement those to attain efficient results. For an instance, as bachelors
in business information system I have learnt different programming languages but if in case I am
not able to execute them then that knowledge is worthless. Thus appropriate usage of
information leads to attain adequate results by solving different problems quickly so that on time
results can be attained.
What is learnt from outcomes
The results which are being attained by self-assessment are adequate and shows that lots of
enhancements have to be made through overall productivity has to be enhanced so that within
working premises it becomes possible to sustain for longer time frame.

 Analyzing and problem solving: It takes time for me to understand problem but it does
not mean that I do not have knowledge instead I lack in practical implementation of
things.
 Working well with others: Team work is important when there are large projects and it
will be difficult to do all the things alone. I lack this aspect as I am not open to ideas
given by others that lead to conflicts.
 Achieving objectives: Effectual coordination is must so that ideas from others can be
attained as well as shared as it leads to have innovative solutions for doing things
(Howard and Gutworth, 2020).
 Learning & self-development: It is to all the skills as if adequate knowledge will be
possessed then solution to problems can be identified easily, adaptation to distinct
environment and this will lead to attainment of objectives.
 Adapting to change: The market evolves continuously with respect to preferences of
people, technology, competitors, etc. so there also comes alterations within the working
environment of firm. It is crucial for me to adapt to different conditions prevailing within
as it will only assist me to sustain.
From all theses aspects, it is understood that lots of improvements have to be made within me
by whom I can face different hardship within organization effectively.
Which peculiar theoretical concepts furnish you with greatest understanding of results
Through the assistance of LPA emphasis is laid on self-awareness which aims at
enhancement of individual’s employability along with career success. It furnishes an in-depth
insight into workplace competencies as well as applying them within professional development
(Okros, 2020). Furthermore, it also leads to acknowledge a challenge which prevails within
VUCA (Volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. As an individual, identification of
workplace competencies will aid in earlier determination of skills which have to be improvised
to be successful within competitive environment. This will create an affirmative impact on self-
awareness along with emotional intelligence.
Which LPA competency will lead to attain goals in VUCA world
All the competencies which have been provided above will lead to accomplishment of goals
in VUCA world (Sullivan and Page, 2020). But there is one competency that will enable to have

relevant impact on all others i.e. learning and self-development it will enable to cope up with all
other aspects. The 5 strengthsfinder talents are: self-awareness, communication skills, analytical
& research skills, ability to formulate plans and creativity. These strengths will have affirmative
impact on attainment of this competency.
Conclusion
From above it can be concluded that, it is essential for an individual to acknowledge their
skills as per industry they are willing to work in. This implies that to be successful within
workplace it is crucial to enhance their skills by which they can attain competencies to sustain
within evolving requirements of the firm.
