Concept: Get Additional Reviewers for Competencies

You can include the

Get Additional Reviewers

business process as a subprocess on either of these business processes:

Start Performance Review
Start Development Plan

You can’t deploy

Get Additional Reviewers

as a stand-alone business process. Depending on configuration, when you initiate it as a subprocess, either the employee or the manager selects reviewers and reviewer type. Reviewer types are configurable, but typically represent relative roles such as peers and direct reports. The subprocess then contacts the additional reviewers, who can enter comments based on the configuration of

Item Comments

in the employee review template.

To enable contingent workers to be available as additional reviewers for performance reviews or development plans, configure either of these business process security policies:

Complete Additional Reviewer Evaluation for Performance Review
Complete Additional Reviewer Evaluation for Development Plans

The

Complete Manager Evaluation

step in the performance review or development plan business process:

Provides a description of the rated competency section.
Enables a rating assignment for each competency.

You can drill down to view additional reviewer comments.

When you create an employee review template, you select which

Competencies

sections to send for additional reviews, but not specific competencies within each section. Additional reviewers can rate any or all of the listed competencies. Although Workday uses weighting to calculate results, this information isn't visible to reviewers.

You can create as many groups of additional reviewers as you need, but can include a maximum of 3 groups per competency section for review.

You can create a custom report that returns average ratings by additional reviewer type in numeric form. You can create calculated fields for the Review Component business object using the

Average Rating by Additional Reviewer Type

report field.
