Steps: Set Up Interests

Steps: Set Up Interests

  • Configure the
    Manage Interests
    business process in the Career and Development Planning functional area.
  • Security:
    Self Service: Interests
    and
    Worker Data: Interests
    domains in the Career and Development Planning functional area.
Enables employees to add career interests to their profiles, including:
  • Job interests.
  • Skill interests.
  • Travel preferences.
  • Relocation preferences.
When employee interests are part of talent reviews or employee reviews, business leaders can use the information for organizational development and succession planning.
You can't update interests on the worker profile when an employee review or talent review is in progress. When the review is complete, Workday displays the updated information on the worker profile.
Workday doesn't support career or job interests for contingent workers.
You can add the
Interests
tab to the worker profile, see Steps: Set Up Profiles and Profile Groups.
  1. Configure the
    Career
    profile group on worker profiles and the
    Talent
    profile group on talent pools.
You can view career interest information both when you compare workers and in the:
  • Career
    profile group on worker profiles.
  • Development
    worklet on the
    Home
    landing page.
  • Talent
    profile group on talent pools.
  • Talent
    area on worker preview cards.
You can also view them on:
  • Completed employee reviews.
  • Talent cards.
  • The
    View Succession Plan for Position
    report.
(Optional) To enable workers to edit their career interests, configure the
Interests
report on the
Career
profile group of the worker profile.
