Time management and prioritising

Allocates available time across tasks by urgency and importance, sets a sequence and adjusts it when new work arrives during the period.

How hrmforce measures this

The candidate performs a representative work sample under standardised conditions.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Follows a task list provided by others and asks which task takes priority whenever new requests arrive. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Ranks own work by urgency and importance, builds in buffer time and explains to others why an item will arrive later. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Sets prioritisation agreements and planning standards across the organisation and decides which work streams receive time and capacity when both are scarce. 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.
