Workday-Pro-Talent-and-Performance Exam Dumps - Workday Human Capital Management Questions and Answers

To automatically include goals that workers set before the review began, enableLoad Relevant Goalson the employee review template.

This ensures the goals tied to the review period are pulled into the content automatically.

Incorrect options:

Allow User to Add Existing Goals Manually→ lets employees add goals one by one, not automatic.

Show Additional Rating to Employee→ provides extra rating display, unrelated to loading goals.

Items Rated→ defines what is rated in the review but doesn’t auto-load goals.

Static Talent Poolsallowmanual addition and removalof members.

Privatemeans the pool is only visible to the creator and not shared with others.

Therefore, aPrivate Static Talent Poollets talent partners create their own pools, manage membership manually, and keep them unshared.

Incorrect options:

Dynamic Pools→ membership is controlled by saved searches, not manual additions.

Restricted Pools→ visibility is limited to certain groups but still shared, not completely private.

ADynamic Talent Poolautomatically updates membership based on the results of a saved search.

Making itRestrictedensures that access is limited—so onlyManagershave visibility/permissions to the members of their supervisory organization.

Incorrect options:

Open Dynamic→ open visibility, not restricted by role.

Open Static→ membership is manual, not automatic, and visibility is open.

Restricted Static→ membership is manual, not dynamic.

In Workday Talent & Performance, when you want to assign goals to a group of employees (such as everyone in a talent pool), you must use the“Add Goal To Employees”task.

Here’s why:

Create Goal for Worker

This task is specific toone workerat a time. It would not allow you to mass-assign goals to multiple workers.

Suitable when you want to add a goal for an individual employee.

Manage Organization Goals

Used to defineorganization-wide goals(e.g., company objectives).

These can be cascaded, but they are not tied to an action that assigns two goals directly to all members of a talent pool.

Maintain Goals Setup

This is forconfiguring goal settings(e.g., categories, weights, behaviors) at the tenant level.

It doesn’t execute the action of assigning goals to workers.

Add Goal To Employees

Specifically designed formass goal assignment.

You can select multiple employees (for example, all 10 members of your talent pool) and assign the same goals in a single event.

This is the only option that fulfills the requirement of assigningtwo self-development goals to all membersin one step.

Talent & Performance Study Guide topics:

Goal Management: Covers the difference between worker-specific vs. mass goal actions.

Talent Pools: Workday documentation explains that pools are often used for succession planning and development, and “Add Goal to Employees” is the correct bulk action for assigning development activities.

External Training Reference: ERP Cloud Training notes that“The Add Goal To Employees task allows administrators to assign multiple goals across groups such as talent pools or organizations, enabling faster alignment with development plans.”【web source on Talent & Performance training】

This question is aboutTalent Reviewsin Workday and what drives the permissions or actions that employees and managers can take during the review process.

Let’s analyze the choices:

A. Organization membership

Incorrect.

Organization membership (e.g., supervisory org, talent pool) determineswhich workersare included in the review.

It does not determinewhat actionsmanagers or employees can take.

B. Employee potential

Incorrect.

Employee potential is anattribute(like performance, loss impact, retention risk) used for evaluation in the talent review grid.

It informs thecontentof the review, not the actions available to participants.

C. Domain security

Partially correct but not the best answer.

Domain security determineswho has accessto initiate or view Talent Reviews, but it does not driveprocess actions inside the review(such as rating, adding notes, or calibrating).

D. Talent review template rule

Correct.

TheTalent Review Template Ruledefines theconfiguration of the talent review process, including:

Which sections appear (e.g., 9-box grid, attributes, notes).

Which actions participants (employees, managers, HR partners) can perform.

Whether calibration is enabled, whether participants can move employees between grid boxes, and other interactive review behaviors.

This is the configuration responsible for controllingwhat employees and managers can do during a talent review event.

Therefore, the correct answer isTalent review template rule.

Workday Pro Talent & Performance Certification Guide – Talent Reviews:“The talent review template rule determines the structure of the review and what actions participants may take during the review.”

ERP Cloud Training – Workday Talent Reviews:“Template rules control functionality such as allowing participants to update potential ratings, add notes, or move workers in the grid. Security domains only manage access.”

Workday Community Documentation – Talent Review Configuration:Confirms thattemplate rulesdefine the actions and behaviors within a talent review session.

Competencies can be assigned to multiple objects: job profiles, job families, positions, or management levels.

When determining a worker’starget proficiency level,Positiontakes precedence over all other sources.

Order of precedence:Position > Job Profile > Job Family > Management Level.

This allows organizations to define competencies at higher levels (family, profile) but override them at the position level if necessary.

To make specific goal fieldsmandatory(such as requiring a goal description), you must configure this in theConfigure Individual Goals sectionof theMaintain Goal Setuptask.

In this section, administrators define which fields are:

Required(must be completed by the worker),

Optional, or

Hidden(not shown to users).

TheMaintain Goal Categories taskonly sets up categories such as Innovation, Financial, Productivity.

TheMaintain Goal Units taskconfigures measurement units (e.g., percentages, dollars).

TheConfigure Organization Goals sectiongoverns how enterprise-level organizational goals behave, but does not control whether an individual field like “Description” is required.

Therefore, to enforce that workers must always provide a goal description, you configure this requirement in theConfigure Individual Goals section.

To prevent managers from receiving Inbox tasks during calibration, you configure theAwait Calibration Completion service stepin theComplete Manager Evaluation BP.

This holds manager evaluation tasks until calibration is finalized.

Incorrect options:

To Do step in Launch Calibration→ only provides reminders, does not prevent tasks.

Update Performance Review Ratings step→ allows updates after calibration but doesn’t prevent tasks.

Shared Participation step→ controls collaboration in calibration, not blocking Inbox tasks.

In theAdd Goal to Employeestask, managers can cascade or assign goals to groups of workers.

The available grouping option is byOrganizations(e.g., supervisory organizations, cost centers, custom organizations).

Succession Pools, Job Profiles, and Job Familiesare not selection criteria in this task. Those are used in talent or competency management contexts but not in mass goal assignment.

To configureSkills Cloudas theprimary source for skill searches, you use theMaintain Skills and Experience Setuptask.

This task controls whether Workday tenant prioritizes Skills Cloud suggestions and searches versus custom skill libraries.

Incorrect options:

Maintain Skill Item Categories→ categorizes skills, not source priority.

Maintain Skill Vendors→ used for external vendor integrations.

Maintain Skills→ used for creating/editing skills but not selecting Skills Cloud as the default.
