Workday Pro Talent and Performance Workday-Pro-Talent-and-Performance Exam Questions
Question 1
You are using a performance review template and a goal is not populating into an employee's review.
What could cause this issue?
Answer : B
For a goal to populate into a performance review, its due date must align with the review template's start and end period.
If the goal falls outside that timeframe, Workday will not pull it into the review.
Other options are not correct:
Cascade Goals does not prevent goals from being included.
Milestones not Complete milestone status does not block goal population.
Not Started status goals can still populate even if not started.
Workday Performance Review setup guide: ''Goals populate into reviews if their due dates fall within the template's defined period.''
Workday Pro Talent & Performance exam prep: Goal alignment with template period is required.
Question 2
You would like to use Skills Cloud as the primary source for skill searches.
What task would you access to meet this requirement?
Answer : A
To configure Skills Cloud as the primary source for skill searches, you use the Maintain Skills and Experience Setup task.
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.
Workday configuration guide: Skills Cloud setup.
Workday Pro certification prep: ''Maintain Skills and Experience Setup controls whether Skills Cloud is the primary search source.''
Question 3
Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below.
Your organization is initiating employee reviews. There are several objectives for these reviews, including:
Setting goals and reviewing them quarterly.
Checking in with the new hire at 90 days.
Annually reviewing performance.
Performing multi-rater reviews.
You need to create a new annual review template with several sections, including Feedback, Goals, Questions, and Competencies.
What component is not a prerequisite to create a new annual review template with these sections?
Answer : C
To create a review template with sections such as Feedback, Goals, Questions, and Competencies, you must have these components configured in advance:
Review Questions required if the template uses a questions section.
Feedback Template required if a feedback section is included.
Competencies required if competencies are included.
Review Types are not a prerequisite to create a review template. They categorize reviews (annual, quarterly, etc.) but are not required in template configuration.
Workday Review Template setup guidelines.
Workday Pro training material: ''Questions, feedback templates, and competencies must be configured to build corresponding review sections.''
Question 4
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?
Answer : D
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.
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 5
You want to launch a talent review for a group of workers who do not belong to the same organization.
What option allows for this?
Answer : D
To launch a Talent Review for a group of workers who do not share the same supervisory organization, you can use a Talent Pool.
Talent pools allow grouping across organizations, job families, or geographies.
Incorrect options:
Job Family groups roles, not flexible enough for reviews across diverse workers.
Supervisory Organization too restrictive; only covers workers within that org.
Custom Organization useful for grouping but not directly designed for Talent Review events.
Workday Talent Review configuration: Talent Pools as input populations.
Workday Pro Talent & Performance prep: ''Use Talent Pools when reviewing cross-org worker groups.''
Question 6
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?
Answer : D
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.
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 7
You want to create a talent pool that automatically updates its members based on criteri
a. You also want those in the Manager role to only have permissions to the members of their organization.
What type of talent pool do you create?
Answer : B
A Dynamic Talent Pool automatically updates membership based on the results of a saved search.
Making it Restricted ensures that access is limited---so only Managers have 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.
Workday Talent Pool documentation: ''Restricted Dynamic Talent Pools allow managers to see only their organizational members with dynamic updates.''
