Run Talent Matrix Reports

Talent matrix reports are based on current ratings data in Workday and have many interactive qualities. While viewing a talent matrix report, you can:
  • Apply filter criteria for instant results.
  • Drill down on several items in the report to see and interact with the underlying worker details.
You can't drag and drop workers from 1 box to another using Workday's delivered talent matrix reports. Placement in a particular box depends on each worker's ratings data in Workday. However, you can:
  • Create a calibration program based on a talent matrix report.
  • Enable manual talent matrix placement with the
    Assess Potential
     task.
  1. Access a
    Talent Matrix
     report and specify report criteria.
  2. Click the numbers on the talent matrix to view matrix report details:
    • The number in each box on the matrix represents the total number of workers who meet the criteria for the box. Click this number to view the list of workers who are summarized by the number. You can also tag workers for membership in a talent pool from this list.
    • The
      Total
       number in the upper right corner represents the number of workers eligible for display on the talent matrix. This is the total number of workers who belong to the organizations you selected for the talent matrix, reduced by any faceted search criteria you've applied. Click this number to view the total list of eligible workers.
    • The number of workers
      Not Shown
       indicates how many workers are not displayed in the matrix, out of the total number eligible to be shown. Workers might not be shown for various reasons. 2 common causes might be that the worker lacks talent information or that you do not have the appropriate security to view all the worker talent data available for the selected organizations. Click this number to view the list of workers excluded from the matrix.
    Add the number of workers displayed in all of the boxes on the talent matrix to the number of workers
    Not Shown
     to get the
    Total
     number.
  3. Click an employee image or the crowd icon to view worker details.
    Each box in the matrix displays up to 100 worker images who meet the criteria for the box, based on the nBox report definition. The number of employees shown depends on your screen resolution. It might be impossible to show 100 workers on your particular display. Regardless, whenever the maximum number of worker images is reached for a particular box, a crowd icon is displayed instead of the worker images. If no employees meet the criteria for inclusion in a particular box, a zero displays and no images are shown.
  4. Filter workers based on different facets.
    Faceted search enables you to dynamically filter workers and view a subset of the workers. As you apply facets to your talent matrix report, the
    Not Shown
     and
    Total
     numbers update automatically based on the current criteria.
    The faceted search area to the left of the talent matrix enables you to dynamically filter workers. Selecting specific facet values, like a specific job profile or a particular location, helps you narrow down the results so that you see only the subset of workers you want to see in the talent matrix. Next to each facet value is a number that represents how many workers meet the criteria associated with the facet value. As you apply facets to your talent matrix report, the
    Not Shown
     and
    Total
     numbers are updated automatically based on the current criteria.
