Concept: Additional Manager Evaluations

Concept: Additional Manager Evaluations

You can make performance reviews more comprehensive by enabling up to 3 managers (the primary manager and up to 2 additional managers) to provide comments concurrently in a single review. You can set up both employees and contingent workers as additional managers.
This feature is separate from the Multiple Managers feature that enables you to assign multiple managers to a supervisory organization.
Additional managers can provide section comments in all employee review sections supported by the editor. Workday supports only certain sections in specific editors. Additional managers can provide item comments in these sections:
  • Accomplishments
  • Competencies
  • Goals
  • Questions
  • Responsibilities
Additional managers can add or delete items in these sections:
  • Accomplishments
  • Development Items
  • Goals
  • Responsibilities
  • Supporting Documents
