Concept: Calibration nBox Placement

Concept: Calibration nBox Placement

Placing workers on the nBox report enables you to view, compare, and adjust employee talent and performance ratings. You can see both your direct and indirect reports in the calibration nBox report. You can't plot your indirect reports until after their direct manager plots them or the facilitator completes on behalf of the direct manager. Workday saves your work after every change, displays a timestamp, and updates both the nBox and list views.
The set of employees you see in the calibration nBox report and list views depends on the configuration of the
Restrict Organization Level View
field on the
Create Calibration Program
task. The larger the number of employees you can see, the more time it takes to display the nBox report.
All managers in the hierarchy below you must complete their calibration tasks before you can submit yours. Workday doesn't automatically send managers a notification to their
My Tasks
when managers below them submit the
Calibrate Team
task in their
My Tasks
. Set up custom notifications in the Launch Calibration BP definition to notify the participants when calibration tasks actions occur. Review worker placements directly in your calibration nBox report.
If you select the
Allow Update of Assess Potential during Calibration
check box on the
Create Calibration Program
task, use the list view to update employee potential attributes. If you use potential as an axis in Calibration, you can't evaluate it as a standalone field when you enable Assess Potential in Calibration.
If you select a calibration program for talent or performance reviews with calibration:
  • On the
    Start Performance Review for Organization
    task, Workday pulls in the manager's overall rating and potential assessment (if configured) from the review into the calibration nBox report.
  • On the
    Start Talent Review for Organization
    task, Workday pulls in the potential assessment from the review into the calibration nBox report.
