Steps: Set Up Manager Insights Hub

Steps: Set Up Manager Insights Hub

Review setup considerations for Manager Insights Hub.
Manager Insights Hub provides managers with automated insights and personalized suggestions for team career growth and development. Managers can view actionable insights about their direct reports only, and they can gain visibility into team progress and activities.
Access to pages, sections, tasks, and reports depends on your organization’s Workday product subscriptions. The individual security permissions of supervisory organization managers determines what data they can view, and which tasks, reports, and cards they can use.
When you use Career Hub, Manager Insights Hub displays a
Suggested Opportunities
 section that uses machine learning to recommend mentors, gigs, and learning opportunities. You can configure it to also recommend connections. When a manager shares an opportunity with their direct report through Manager Insights Hub, Workday displays the opportunity in the direct report's Career Hub with a
Manager Suggested
 label. When you don't use Career Hub but want to enable the
Suggested Opportunities
 section, you must configure Interests and Skills Cloud.
