Structured workplace observation with a form based on behavioural anchors.

Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Applies one agreed action from a training in own work and reports how that went.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Builds an own application plan after a course, practises new methods in live work and reviews the effect with the manager.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Arranges working agreements so trained staff actually adopt new methods and steers on measurable application across the organisation.
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.

Underlying skills

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