Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Registers documents in the case system according to the metadata rules and reports items whose classification is unclear. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Independently assesses retention periods for a case file, arranges findability and carries out destruction demonstrably. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Sets the organisation's information policy and retention schedule and accounts for compliance to the archive inspectorate. 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.
