Creation Of Observational Checklist
Role: Admins
Description: Observational checklists are designed to help organizations assess an employee's skill set through real-life practical evaluations. These checklists allow reviewers to observe and validate that an employee possesses the necessary skills to perform specific tasks required for their role before they are permitted to incorporate those tasks into their daily activities.
Benefits:
- Hands on Skill Validation: Provides real-time confirmation of employees’ ability to perform critical tasks, enhancing the effectiveness of training.
- Targeted Development: Identifies specific areas where employees need additional training, enabling tailored coaching and support.
- Confidence Enhancement: Offers opportunities for practical application and immediate feedback, boosting employees' confidence in their skills.
- Actionable Insights: Facilitates detailed feedback based on direct observations, allowing for ongoing improvement and learning.
- Performance Tracking: Allows managers to monitor progress over time, making it easier to recognize achievements and areas that require further attention.
Uses:
- Onboarding Process: Used to evaluate new hires on job-specific tasks during their onboarding, ensuring they are prepared for their roles.
- Compliance Monitoring: Helps to ensure processes are being followed regarding safety protocols and regulations in industries where compliance is critical, reducing potential risks.
- Skill Assessment in Mock Scenarios: Ideal for simulated environments where managers assess employees on key skills needed for their roles.
- Performance Reviews: Provides structured assessments during formal evaluations, highlighting employee strengths and areas for development.
- Continuous Improvement Programs: Integrates into ongoing training initiatives, allowing for regular skill monitoring and fostering a culture of learning.
Differences Between Tasks and Observational Checklists in Auzmor Learn
Tasks: Traditional tasks consist of a checklist of activities that the assignee must complete and verify on their own before a reviewer assesses their performance. This self-verification process can sometimes lead to inconsistencies in how tasks are reported.
Observational Checklists: Observational checklists require no proactive action from the user being evaluated. Instead, reviewers observe the user as they perform tasks, directly verifying completed actions and providing feedback. This approach allows for a more accurate assessment of skills and techniques in real-time.

Subtasks: These are smaller tasks or steps that need to be completed by the reviewer as part of the observational checklist process. This breakdown makes the overall task more manageable and easier to track. Admins can also set due dates for each respective subtask, ensuring that each component of the evaluation is completed on time. Additionally admins choose the response types when configuring the subtask depending on the nature of the subtask. When responding to and completing a subtask, reviews will be required to provide a response as per the type that has been selected.
Response types may include
- Free Text: Allowing open-ended responses.
- Multiple Selection: Enabling the selection of multiple options.
- Single Selection: Selecting one option from a defined list.

Step 4: Configuration
In the People Configuration section, admins can select and assign roles for the task, including Assignees, Reviewers, and Viewers.
- Assignees: Assignees in the observational checklist are individuals who are being evaluated by the reviewers. They do not need to take any action; instead, they can simply check the status and review any comments provided by the reviewers regarding their tasks.
- Reviewer: Reviewers are the individuals who evaluate the assignees for specific tasks and responsible to take action on the tasks & subtasks. The admins can assign multiple levels of reviewers to a particular task.
- Viewers: Viewers are those individuals added to the task who have an interest in it. They can access the task and its subtasks for all assignees in a read-only format. Viewers can find these tasks in both the learner and admin views.
