Acco UK: Competencies represent a 'work in progress'

Office products company Acco's ongoing work to replace its old, paper-based competency framework with an online system is primarily driven by a need to improve the appraisal system, rather than to tackle issues relating to competencies.

Office products company Acco UK is currently part of Fortune Brands, although in summer 2005 it is due to merge with another company and become an independent operation.
