Multiple raters around the person rate behaviour against behavioural anchors.
This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Helps a colleague who explicitly asks for it and passes on the information that this colleague needs. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Notices that a colleague is stuck, offers help and temporarily takes over tasks without letting own work slip. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Organises forms of mutual support across the organisation, such as knowledge sharing and backup cover, and addresses others on helpful behaviour. 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.
