Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Reports unsafe or risky situations in the own work through the agreed reporting route. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Draws up a risk list with likelihood, impact and measure per risk and reviews it periodically with those involved. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Builds the risk framework of the organisation, sets risk appetite with the executive team and reports on it to the supervisory body. 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.
