Overview of Talent Profiles

Managers and HR specialists can maintain information within person profiles about the skills, qualifications, accomplishments, and career preferences of their workers. They can also maintain information in model profiles about the targeted skills and qualifications of the jobs and positions within the company.

Workers can manage theirown careers by keeping their talent profiles current so that their skills, qualifications, accomplishments, and career preferences reflect their current performance and future career goals.

You manage a worker's talent profile on the worker's person spotlight. Depending on your role, to open a worker's person spotlight:

• Select Directory > Directory, search for the worker, and click the worker's name in the search results

• Select My Team > My Team and click the worker's name on the My Team page

• Select My Team > Team Talent and click the worker's name on the Team Talent page

• Select My Team > Team Compensation and click the worker's name on the Team Compensation page

• Open the person smart navigation window from application pages

This table lists the talent profile-related pages in person spotlight and their key features available to managers, HR specialists, and workers. Workers can open each page from the Me work area in the Navigator.
