Structured workplace observation with a form based on behavioural anchors.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Lets a new colleague shadow the work, points out workplace and tools and answers questions about daily routines. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Draws up an onboarding plan with milestones per new colleague and reviews progress after thirty and ninety days. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Designs the onboarding programme for the whole organisation, measures how quickly new people become productive and improves it yearly. 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.
