In this release, our updated rules engine technology now automates things like creating a requisition, prepopulating division, legal entity, department, and location based on the hiring manager; and creating a default target bonus of 10% based on the salary in the offer. PERFORMANCE AND GOALS, SUCCESSION We re expanding your ability to promote and help ensure a diverse and inclusive workforce. In this release, you can configure and generate performance and promotion bias rules and alerts during the calibration process. For example, this means you can now detect employees who may have been overlooked for promotions or those who have had performance rating reductions after returning from a leave of absence, such as maternity leave. Plus, within continuous performance management, employees can now request and provide performance feedback throughout the year without having to wait for a formal review process. For example, managers can request feedback on a direct report from anyone at any time to gain insight into an employee s performance. A new feedback tab for employees enables them to view the feedback they have received, and they can also link or unlink feedback to activities and achievements. 7 / 10
