The Staff Competency Assessment Division is responsible for implementing comprehensive competency assessment processes through the management of the UTHM Competency Dictionary, competency assessment instruments, the UTHM Leadership Competency Assessment (ULCA), competency gap reporting, assessment data analysis, and competency monitoring. These functions are aimed at identifying staff competency levels to support continuous human capital development.

The division manages staff profiling activities through the development of Individual Development Plans (IDPs), staff competency profiles, and leadership competency profiles. The information gathered serves as a foundation for career development, training planning, and succession management to meet the university's strategic workforce requirements.

In terms of systems integration, the division manages the MYLESTARI System as an integrated platform for storing, managing, and monitoring staff competency and profiling data. The system enhances information management efficiency and supports evidence-based decision-making in human capital development.
