Concept: Talent Reviews
A talent review is a 2-part process that collects talent information from both employees and managers.
Employees describe their:
- Education.
- Career interests.
- Job history.
- Job interests.
- Languages.
- Mobility preferences.
Managers describe their employees':
- Achievable level.
- Loss impact.
- Potential.
- Retention risk.
Both employees and managers add:
- Awards and activities.
- Certifications.
- Competencies.
- Current work experience.
- Development items.
- Free-form talent summary.
- Training.
Talent review templates provide the framework for a talent review. You can create as many talent review templates as you need, with any combination of sections. The template, together with the
Talent Review
business process and your security configuration, determines what actions employees and managers take during a talent review. You can further customize talent review templates by providing multiple instructions for employees and managers to explain the overall process and their role in each section.This table lists the available sections and who typically completes them:

Rules identify the target population for a talent review. You assign a rule to a template during configuration. When you launch the review, Workday sends a My Tasks action to the employees who meet the eligibility criteria defined by the rule.
When a talent review is in progress, a comments toolbar is available at the bottom of the Welcome Page. To enable more effective communication, the comment bar displays:
- The last comment made.
- The comment history.
- The process history.
- Related links.
After you complete a talent review, you can print talent cards to summarize each employee's talent information. Organization leaders can use talent cards for succession planning and to predict workforce needs, identify capability gaps, cultivate leadership, and reward top performers.
