Applying the code of conduct

Acts according to the rules of conduct of the organisation, keeps business and personal interests separate and addresses others on deviations.

How hrmforce measures this

Self-report of behavioural preferences. At hrmforce the Big Fifty and the 15PF.

This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Reports a gift or side activity in line with the code of conduct and asks for clarification when in doubt. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Weighs the own position in a conflict of interest, withdraws where needed and records that choice. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Sets the code of conduct of the organisation, addresses behaviour at every level and handles reports carefully. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
