Guidelines for Selecting Participants for Talent Reviews

When creating a talent review meeting, after you select the review content, you need to select the review participants. The people you select as reviewers rate the workers in the review population. You select the participants in the Review Participants section.

Review Participants

Typically, employees in an organization are reviewed by the managers of the organization. The participants in the talent review meeting are often the managers in the organization. You can also invite managers outside of the organization to participate. You can select at most 500 participants for a meeting.

The business leader is automatically added as a meeting participant and receives the same meeting notifications as other meeting reviewers.

You can also include matrix managers as meeting reviewers. To do this, select the Include matrix managers as reviewers check box. Note that matrix managers need to have edit profile content section access security permissions to rate their dotted line reports.

Note: The setting you specify here for including matrix managers overrides the setting specified in the meeting template. You can select or clear the Include matrix managers as reviewers check box here irrespective of the setting specified in the meeting template.

After selecting and adding meeting participants, you can specify the participant type as one of these two types:

• Reviewer: Someone who rates the workers in the review population before the meeting. This is the default participant type. Meeting participants assigned the Reviewer role can grant access to other managers who are their direct reports to rate their direct and indirect reports.

• Participant: Someone who attends the meeting but can't rate the workers in the review population. They participate in the discussions about how to rate the workers in the review population.

Note: You can't change the participant type of a business leader.

If New meeting scheduled notification is enabled and a facilitator submits the meeting configuration, the reviewers receive notifications to remind them all to prepare review content for the meeting. They get a link to the Prepare Review Content page, where they can make any updates.

Meeting Instructions

Did you know that you can add more information or comments for reviewers in the Meeting Instructions field? Reviewers can see the content added here on the Prepare Review Content page when they update worker ratings before the meeting.
