Concept: Career Hub

The
Career Hub
is a centralized platform for skills-based career growth, development planning, and internal mobility for your workforce. Employees and contingent workers can access and maintain their talent data here. You can also enable personalized suggestions for internal work opportunities, networking, skill development, and career planning.

Overview Page

The
Career Hub
has a configurable overview page. By default, it includes a
Performance Overview
section with these cards:
  • Goals
    : The number of goals that are approved and in progress. This card links to the
    My Goals
    report.
  • Development Items
    : The number of in progress development items. This card links to the
    My Development Items
    report.
  • Recent Feedback
    : Anytime and requested feedback that coworkers gave the worker in the past 6 months. This card links to the
    Manage Feedback
    report.
Employees can also access the
Interests
card in the
Career & Job Interests
section to view and edit their interests for jobs, skills, career growth, travel, and relocation.
For card security, see Reference: Career Hub Security. To customize the overview page, see Set Up Hubs.

Talent and Performance Reports

By default, these reports are available in the
Career Hub
:
  • My Development Items
    .
  • Connections and Mentorships
    . This report is only available in the
    Career Hub
    . Workers can access it to view both the
    My Connections
    and
    My Mentorships
    reports.
  • My Goals
    .
  • My Check-Ins
    .
  • My Reviews
    .
  • Manage Feedback
    . This report is only available in the
    Career Hub
    . Workers can access it to view the
    Feedback
    report with data about their own feedback.
Workers can still access their self-service talent and performance reports outside the
Career Hub
when you remove reports from the hub navigation, or when the worker doesn’t have access to the
Career Hub
.

Skills-Based Machine Learning Features

If you use Skills Cloud, you can choose to enable 1 or both of these sets of additional features in the
Career Hub
:
  • Opportunity Marketplace in
    Career Hub
    .
  • Talent Optimization in
    Career Hub
    .

Opportunity Marketplace in Career Hub

This feature supports internal mobility by suggesting internal work opportunities that match workers’ skills or skill interests. Workday surfaces these opportunities on the
Suggestions for You
page in the
Career Hub
.
You can choose to enable 1 or more of these opportunity types:
  • Jobs
  • Flex Teams
  • Projects
Opportunity Marketplace uses machine learning to generate skills-based matches between workers and opportunities. It also recommends learning content to help address skill gaps for each opportunity.
For details about the machine learning models that we use in Opportunity Marketplace, see Workday AI Fact Sheet: Talent Marketplace.
When you enable suggested jobs or flex teams, workers can also access the
Browse Opportunities
navigation section to view all available opportunities.
When you enable this functionality but not Talent Optimization in
Career Hub
, we add the
My Flex Teams
report to the
Career Hub
by default.

Talent Optimization in Career Hub

This feature supports skills-based career development for your employees by helping them establish professional networks, set long-term career goals, and plan their progress towards those goals.
When you enable this functionality, employees can access:
  • The
    Suggestions for You
    page with connections, mentorships, and learning to help them develop their skills and interests.
  • The
    Explore
    page with:
    • Suggestions for long-term career paths within the organization. For details, see Concept: Career Path Builder.
    • Suggested skill interests to help them develop in their roles, progress towards their job interests, and build in-demand skills commonly mentioned in open job requisitions.
    • Suggested job profiles based on historical transition data.
    • Job openings, suggested learnings, and suggested flex teams related to a specific job profile.
  • The
    Plan
    page where they can:
    • Track career development, including mentorships, connections, development items, individual goals, job opportunities, and learning content.
    • View jobs opportunities that they have saved on the
      To Do
      tab and applied to on the
      Completed
      tab. If a job opening becomes inactive, we surface a
      Browse Jobs
      link on the job card instead of the job details.
    • Generate development items with AI assistance to make actionable plans to address any gaps between their career interests and their development plan. For details, see Concept: AI-Generated Development Items.
  • The
    Browse Opportunities
    navigation section where they can view all available mentors and connections.
For details about the machine learning models that we use in Talent Optimization in Career Hub, see Workday AI Fact Sheet: Career Hub.
By default, we remove the
Development Items
and
Connections and Mentorships
reports from the
Career Hub
when you enable this feature. The
Plan
and
Suggestions for You
pages replace these reports.
Development items completed before the user set up their
Career Hub
profile aren’t displayed in the
Plan
page. Workers also can’t save project opportunities to the
Plan
page.

Setting Career Interests

Machine learning suggestions in Opportunity Marketplace and Talent Optimization in the
Career Hub
are based on worker skills, interests, and career goals. To improve the accuracy of these suggestions, Workday prompts workers to update their information when they access the
Suggestions for You
,
Plan
,
Explore
, or
Browse Opportunities
pages for the first time, including:
  • Skills.
  • Career focus.
  • Job interests, for employees only.
  • Skill interests, for employees only.
  • Availability for flex teams, if you enable them in Opportunity Marketplace. Workers' availability does not affect flex team suggestions, but flex team hosts can use it to filter candidates.
To help workers add enough information to get relevant machine learning suggestions in the
Career Hub
, Workday suggests skills, job interests, and skill interests during this process.
Workers must complete this process to access the
Suggestions for You
,
Plan
,
Explore
, and
Browse Opportunities
pages in the
Career Hub
.
We surface the worker’s skills and skill interests on the
Suggestions for You
page, as well as on their worker profile. Employees can select
Edit
to change their interests, and they can also add skills and interests while viewing suggestions in the
Career Hub
.
For details, see Concept: Interests.
