Steps: Configure Additional Reviewers for Competencies

Steps: Configure Additional Reviewers for Competencies

Create an employee review template with a
Competencies
 section.
When you create an employee review template, you select which
Competencies
 sections to send for additional review, 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 include up to 3 additional reviewer types for each
Competencies
 section.
  1. Using the
    Maintain Additional Reviewer Types
     task, enter these fields for each reviewer type:
    • Name
       and
      ID
      . The
      Name
       is shown as the reviewer type in the
      Get Additional Reviewers
       subprocess. The reviewer type can represent the work relationship between the reviewer and the subject of the review. Examples are Team Members, Project Lead, Peers, or Direct Report.
    • Description
      . This type guides the review participants in selecting group members.
  2. (Optional) Mark the reviewer type
    Inactive
     so it's not available as an option in review templates. To see which review templates use each additional reviewer type, click the
    Template Usage
     number. The order of the additional reviewer types controls the order in which they’re displayed in the
    Get Additional Reviewers
     step of the business process.
  3. Use the
    Configure Employee Review Template Section
     task to configure the review template as follows:
    • Select competencies for review when setting up the review template sections.
    • In the
      Other Reviewer Options
       section, select the
      Enable Additional Reviewers for Competencies Section
       check box and specify anonymity options.
    • In the
      Competencies
       section, select the
      Additional Reviewers
       check box in the
      Section Configuration
       section. This check box is available only if you selected
      Enable Additional Reviewers for Competencies Section
       in the
      Other Reviewer Options
       section. The
      Additional Reviewers
       types are configured with the
      Maintain Additional Reviewer Types
       task.
  4. (Optional) Add the
    Get Additional Reviewers
     subprocess to a development plan or a performance review business process. A common configuration is to launch it in parallel with the self-evaluation step.
Workers can add additional reviewers to
Competencies
 sections in employee review templates.
If an administrator enables the
Talent Effect
 option in the leave type for an employee on a Leave of Absence, you can't select this employee as an additional reviewer for the
Get Additional Reviewers
 subprocess.
