Steps: Set Up Performance Reviews

Steps: Set Up Performance Reviews

Configure the
Start Performance Review
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. (Optional) Determine if your event is large enough that you need to work with the Workday Production Readiness team.
    See Workday Community: Production Readiness: Large Volume Events Best Practices for guidelines about opening a Production Readiness case.
  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 reviews 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 review reports to profile groups.
