QUESTION: 9

You are assigning competencies to objects in Workday.
When Workday defines the target proficiency level for a worker, what source takes precedence?

Job Profile
Management Level
Position
Job Family

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Competencies can be assigned to multiple objects: job profiles, job families, positions, or management levels.
When determining a worker's target proficiency level, Position takes 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.

Reference:

Workday Talent & Performance competency framework documentation. Workday Pro training guide: "Position overrides job profile, job family, and management level when determining a worker's target proficiency level."

QUESTION: 10

You want to define level-based behavioral indicators for proficiency ratings on a competency.
What criteria can you use?

Supervisory Organization
Job Profile
Management Level
Talent Pool

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Behavioral indicators can be tied to proficiency rating levels on a competency to describe expected behaviors at each level.
These indicators are assigned by Job Profile.
Other options (Supervisory Organization, Management Level, Talent Pool) are not used to define behavioral indicators.
Linking by Job Profile allows organizations to customize behaviors expected for different roles.

Reference:

Workday Talent & Performance competency management documentation. Workday Pro Talent & Performance training material: "Behavioral indicators are assigned at the job profile level to define expected behaviors for each proficiency rating."

QUESTION: 11

You want to ensure consistency when reporting responses on specific feedback templates.
What functionality prevents workers from changing questions on a feedback template?

Condition Rules
Template Type
Lock Template
Question Tags

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To ensure consistent reporting, feedback templates can be set as Locked. A Locked Feedback Template prevents managers or workers from modifying the questions--no additions, edits, or deletions are allowed.
Other options are not correct:
Condition Rules used for dynamic behavior and field visibility, not for locking questions. Template Type defines type (e.g., Feedback vs. Review), not question editability. Question Tags used for categorization and reporting but do not prevent changes.

Reference:

Workday Talent & Performance configuration material: "Lock Template prevents edits to template questions."
Workday Pro certification study content on feedback management.

QUESTION: 12

What functionality prevents managers from having visibility to peer-to-peer feedback?

Private Feedback
Confidential Feedback
Feedback Badges
Anonymity

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Private Feedback ensures that only the feedback recipient can see the comments. This means managers have no visibility to peer-to-peer private feedback.
Other options:
Confidential Feedback visible to both the worker and their manager. Feedback Badges recognition icons, not a visibility control. Anonymity hides the feedback giver's name but does not control manager visibility.

Reference:

Workday Talent & Performance documentation: Private vs. Confidential feedback visibility.

QUESTION: 13

Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

An enterprise creates organizational goals that include the following criteria:
The organizational goals span five years.

Workers can align their individual goals with the organizational goals. Workers must provide a description for each individual goal. Each individual goal must fall within one of three groupings. Workers' individual goals fall within one of three groups: Innovation, Financial, or Productivity.
Where do you configure the groupings?

Configure Goals to Review section
Maintain Goal Categories task
Configure Organization Goals section
Configure Talent Tags task

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In the scenario, each worker's goal must fall under one of three groupings: Innovation, Financial, Productivity.
These groupings are set up using Goal Categories.
The Maintain Goal Categories task allows administrators to define these categories and enforce categorization for goal entry.
Incorrect options:
Configure Goals in Review section affects reviews, not groupings. Configure Organization Goals section applies to enterprise-level goals, not categorization. Configure Talent Tags task defines tags used for reporting, not enforced groupings.

Reference:

Workday Goal Management admin setup: "Use Maintain Goal Categories to define groupings for goals."
Workday Pro Talent & Performance certification material: Goals must be categorized via categories, not talent tags.

QUESTION: 14

Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

An enterprise creates organizational goals that include the following criteria:
The organizational goals span five years.

Workers can align their individual goals with the organizational goals. Workers must provide a description for each individual goal. Each individual goal must fall within one of three groupings.
When workers create their goals, they need to include a goal description.
Where do you make the goal description a required field?

Maintain Goal Categories task
Maintain Goal Units task
Configure Organization Goals section
Configure Individual Goals section

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

To make specific goal fields mandatory (such as requiring a goal description), you must configure this in the Configure Individual Goals section of the Maintain Goal Setup task. In this section, administrators define which fields are:
Required (must be completed by the worker),
Optional, or
Hidden (not shown to users).
The Maintain Goal Categories task only sets up categories such as Innovation, Financial, Productivity. The Maintain Goal Units task configures measurement units (e.g., percentages, dollars). The Configure Organization Goals section governs 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 the Configure Individual Goals section.

Reference:

Workday Talent & Performance Admin Guide: "Configure Individual Goals section allows fields such as description, due date, and measurement to be marked as required or optional." Workday Pro Talent & Performance study material confirms: "Goal description requirements are set in Configure Individual Goals, not in organization goal setup or categories."

QUESTION: 15

Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.

An enterprise creates organizational goals that include the following criteria:
The organizational goals span five years.
Workers can align their individual goals with the organizational goals. Workers must provide a description for each individual goal. Each individual goal must fall within one of three groupings. The current five-year timeframe for organizational goals is ending and you want to create new organizational goals.
What task do you use to create the next five-year cycle?

Maintain Goal Categories
Maintain Goal Payout Bands
Maintain Goal Completion Statuses
Maintain Goal Periods

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Organizational goals are tied to goal periods, which define the timeframe (e.g., annual, multi-year, or in this case, a five-year cycle).
When the current five-year period ends, you must create a new goal period in order to define the next cycle of organizational goals.
The other tasks do not apply here:
Maintain Goal Categories defines groupings such as Innovation, Financial, Productivity, but does not manage timeframes.
Maintain Goal Payout Bands used for goal-linked compensation or incentive payouts. Maintain Goal Completion Statuses manages status labels such as "Not Started, In Progress, Complete," not periods.
Therefore, to establish the next five-year organizational goal cycle, you use the Maintain Goal Periods task.

Reference:

Workday Talent & Performance configuration documentation: "Maintain Goal Periods allows organizations to define new cycles (e.g., annual or multi-year) for organizational and individual goals."
Workday Pro Talent & Performance certification material: "Organizational goal cycles are created and managed via Maintain Goal Periods."

QUESTION: 16

You want to launch a performance review with calibration. The Talent Administrator would like to verify that all performance reviews are complete before calibration launches. How do you configure the business process to meet this requirement?

The Await Calibration Completion service step in the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process
To Do step on the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process
Shared Participation step on the Launch Calibration business process
Update Performance Review Rating for Manager Evaluation step on the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When using calibration with performance reviews, Workday requires reviews to be completed first before calibration begins.
The correct configuration is to insert the "Await Calibration Completion" service step into the Complete Manager Evaluation for Performance Review business process. This ensures that calibration will not launch until all manager evaluations are complete.
Other options:
To Do step only generates a reminder, not an enforced process dependency. Shared Participation step on Launch Calibration configures collaboration for calibration itself, not sequencing.
Update Performance Review Rating step controls how ratings are updated, not workflow dependencies.

Reference:

Workday Talent & Performance BP configuration documentation. Workday Pro study materials: "Use Await Calibration Completion step in Complete Manager Evaluation BP to enforce review completion before calibration."
