The HR department wants to gather talent information from their employees and managers. What business process can they use?

The Launch Talent Review business process in Workday is specifically designed to initiate the collection of comprehensive talent information. This process orchestrates the gathering of data from multiple sources, including self-assessments from employees on their career interests and skills, and evaluations from managers regarding employee performance, potential, and readiness. It serves as the primary framework for systematically collecting the inputs required for subsequent talent discussions and calibration sessions, directly fulfilling the HR department's objective.

B. Complete Manager Evaluation: This is a specific task or step within a larger business process (like a Talent or Performance Review), not the overarching process used to gather information from both employees and managers.
C. Launch Calibration: Calibration is a process that occurs after talent data has been gathered. Its purpose is to review and normalize ratings across a group to ensure fairness and consistency, not to collect the initial data.
D. Start Performance Review: While a Performance Review gathers performance-related data, a Talent Review is broader, focusing on a wider array of "talent information" such as potential, career aspirations, and mobility, which is more aligned with the question's scope.

Chapter: "Setting Up the Talent Review Business Process": This chapter outlines the configurable steps of the Talent Review business process. It confirms that the process is the primary mechanism to "solicit and collect talent assessments from managers and

optionally

from employees" to prepare for talent discussions. It contrasts this with the Calibration process

which is described as a subsequent step for normalizing the collected data.
