Behaviour-based interview with fixed questions and a rating scale per question.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Uses the agreed digital workspace for meetings and files and states at which times contact is possible. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Chooses between a meeting, a message or a document per situation, records decisions and keeps remote colleagues equally informed. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Establishes organisation-wide working agreements for hybrid collaboration, tests their effect on results and involvement and improves them periodically. 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.
