How hrmforce measures this

Structured workplace observation with a form based on behavioural anchors.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Walks a check round under guidance, completes the checklist and reports unsafe situations immediately to the site manager. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Independently inspects completed work for quality and safety, addresses subcontractors and records deviations with photographs. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Sets the supervision and safety regime for projects, analyses incidents and improves the working method of all supervisors. 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.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
