Steps: Set Up Check-Ins

Steps: Set Up Check-Ins

Check-ins provide an informal method of 1-on-1 communication between workers to supplement formal employee review and feedback events. You can use check-ins for communication between managers and workers that's less structured than formal employee review or feedback processes. You don't need to configure any business processes to set up check-ins.
A check-in includes 2 participants: the user who creates the check-in and the user who receives the check-in. Workers can create only 1 check-in for a given date for each participant. Check-in dates can be in the past or in the future, and participants can change the date at any time. Workers can create multiple check-in topics for each check-in. Check-in topics can contain both notes shared with other workers and notes workers keep for themselves (
My Notes
). Workers can add and remove attachments to check-ins and to check-in topics.
You can set up check-ins so that workers secured to the
Self-Service: Check-Ins
domain can send and receive check-ins to other workers secured to that domain, not just their managers.
Workers can create and edit check-in topics on the Workday mobile app.
  1. Edit Domain Security Policies.
    Set up check-ins for these domains in the Performance Enablement functional area:
    • Self-Service: Check-Ins
    • Worker Data: Check-Ins
  2. (Optional) Set up push notifications and notification settings for check-ins and check-in topics.
    1. Access the
      Edit Tenant Setup - Notifications
      task.
    2. Select
      HCM
      in the
      Notification Delivery Settings
      section to override the parent notification type delivery settings. Create a notification routing rule for check-ins to enable or disable the
      Notify Participants
      check box.
  3. (Optional) Configure these profile groups to display check-ins on the
    Performance
    tab or the
    Career
    tab of the Worker profile:
    • Career for Worker Profile
    • Performance for Worker Profile
  4. (Optional) Add the
    View Check-Ins
    report to the Team Performance Dashboard and the
    My Check-Ins
    report to the Talent and Performance Dashboard.
  5. (Optional) Access the
    Maintain Check-Ins Setup
    task to add help text that displays on the
    My Check-Ins
    report.
    Security:
    Set Up: Check-Ins
    in the Performance Enablement functional area.
Workers can create, view, edit, delete, and archive check-ins and check-in topics.
You can customize the
Check-Ins
and
Topics
labels on the
Maintain Custom Labels
task.
