While all explicit rating fields might be filled, Workday often includes required text fields (like an Overall Summary or Comments section) that are not always visually prominent until validation runs. Instructing the manager to scroll through the entire form to check for any red asterisks or validation messages is the most practical first step before investigating process stages or permissions.

The Coaching and Mentoring business process is specifically designed to create, manage, and track formal coaching or mentoring relationships. It allows for the assignment of mentors/coaches, setting objectives, logging interactions, and tracking progress, providing a much more structured and integrated approach than generic talent pools or development goals alone.

The Calibration tool includes robust filtering options. The correct approach is to use the filters to exclude the employees who report to that specific manager. This allows the calibration session to proceed with a focused view on the remaining population without permanently altering data or settings. ‘Hide in Calibration’ is not a standard function for a single manager’s column.

While the risk of an incumbent leaving is a key consideration for succession urgency, it does not define the role’s inherent criticality. A role is considered critical based on its intrinsic importance to business continuity and strategy (options A, C, and D), not solely on the circumstances of the current incumbent. The risk of loss is a separate metric used to prioritize planning for critical roles.

Performance reviews are snapshots in time tied to a specific role and period. The correct practice is to allow the completed review for the prior role to remain as a historical record. When the new role begins, the employee should be included in the next relevant review cycle for that position. Both documents will reside on the worker’s Talent profile, providing a complete performance history.

During the 360 feedback setup, you can define ‘Rater Visibility’ (e.g., Manager, Self, Peer, Direct Report). For Peer and Direct Report rater types, you can explicitly set this to ‘Anonymous’. This is a core configuration that prevents the reviewee from seeing which individual provided specific feedback, encouraging more honest responses. Other options relate to report formatting or are not standard configuration terms.

The ‘Conversations’ feature is specifically built for ongoing, informal check-ins outside of formal review cycles. It provides a structured yet flexible way to schedule, document, and track topics like feedback, goals, and career development discussions, making it the ideal tool to support a continuous performance management culture.

While tenure, high performance, and lack of development can be factors, compensation significantly below market (a compa-ratio of 0.85) is a classic and powerful quantitative driver of flight risk. Employees who are highly competent (option B) but feel underpaid are particularly vulnerable to being recruited by competitors. Workday’s risk analysis weighs such measurable data points heavily.

Public or leadership-visible recognition through a tool like ‘Bravo!’ (or similar integrated recognition platforms) is designed for this exact purpose. It provides immediate, positive reinforcement that can be shared with others, unlike private notes. A promotion process is inappropriate for a single event, and scheduling a conversation, while good, delays the recognition.
