Steps: Set Up Performance Improvement Plans

Steps: Set Up Performance Improvement Plans

Configure the
Start Performance Improvement Plan
business processes and security policies in the Performance Enablement functional area.
Set up employee reviews to support performance evaluation and personal development.
To use custom labels throughout Talent, use the
Maintain Custom Labels
task.
In review documents, custom labels don't override labels created with the
Create Employee Review Template
and
Maintain Employee Review Setup
tasks.
  1. Edit Business Processes.
    Performance improvement plans derive their security for comment steps from other employee review types by default. Edit the definition for the
    Complete Manager Plan for Performance Improvement Plan
    business process to enable employees and managers to provide comments.
    • Add an
      Action
      step and specify
      Provide Employee Review Comments
      and assign it to the
      Employee as Self
      group.
    • Add an
      Action
      step and specify
      Provide Manager Review Comments
      and assign it to the
      Manager
      group.
  2. Set up the individual components that you plan to include in employee reviews:
    Option Description
    Career
    You can include:
    • Career interests.
    • Job interests.
    • Travel preferences.
    • Relocation preferences.
    Competencies
    Add competencies and rate them in employee reviews.
    Development Items
    You can include ad hoc development items in employee reviews.
    Feedback
    The self-evaluation and manager evaluation forms can include feedback received during the employee review process (performance reviews and development plans only) and outside of it.
    Goals
    Add goals directly into employee reviews or create them outside of the review process. You can also map your statuses that define a worker's progress toward completing a goal to the delivered Workday statuses.
    Questions
    Include questions in employee reviews and create categories to organize them into related groupings.
  3. (Optional) Add performance improvement plan reports to dashboards.
    Set up the
    Team Performance
    dashboard to combine analytics and actions for managing teams and their performance from a single place. You can use the default menu as a starting point.
  4. (Optional) Add performance improvement plan reports to profile groups.
    See Steps: Set Up Profiles and Profile Groups.
    Workday only displays the
    Performance Improvement Plans
    report tab on profiles when there is at least 1 completed or in-progress performance improvement plan for a given worker. Workday doesn't display the
    Performance Improvement Plans
    tab when:
    • The worker hasn't started or completed any performance improvement plans.
    • All previous performance improvement plans have been rescinded or canceled.
