Questions

Frequently asked

Can this be used in performance reviews?

No. This work is designed to inform capability and development decisions at a group and role level, not to feed individual performance ratings.

How do you handle distributed, non-desk workforces?

Administration is planned around operational realities, including work schedules, device access and language needs, so participation is practical and consistent.
