A manager wants to cascade a goal to several workers. What option is available in the Add Goal to Employees task?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
In the Add Goal to Employees task, managers can cascade or assign goals to groups of workers.
The available grouping option is by Organizations (e.g., supervisory organizations, cost centers, custom organizations). Succession Pools, Job Profiles, and Job Families are not selection criteria in this task. Those are used in talent or competency management contexts but not in mass goal assignment. [References:, Workday Talent & Performance documentation, Goal Management section., Workday Pro Talent & Performance training guide:“Add Goal to Employees allows assignment to selected workers or by organizations, not by succession pools, job profiles, or job families.”, ]
Question 2
You recently created a talent pool to help develop potential new managers. You added ten managers to the pool. Now you want to assign two self-development goals to each member of the talent pool. What task allows you to assign those two goals to all members in one event?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
In Workday Talent & Performance, when you want to assign goalsto a group of employees (such as
everyone in a talent pool), you must use the “Add Goal To Employees” task.
Here’s why:
Create Goal for Worker
This task is specific to one worker at a time. It would not allow you to mass-assign goals to multiple
workers.
Suitable when you want to add a goal for an individual employee.
Manage Organization Goals
Used to define organization-wide goals(e.g., company objectives).
These can be cascaded, but they are not tied to an action that assigns two goals directly to all
members of a talent pool.
Maintain Goals Setup
This is for configuring goal settings (e.g., categories, weights, behaviors) at the tenant level.
It doesn’t execute the action of assigning goals to workers.
Add Goal To Employees
Specifically designed for mass goal assignment.
You can select multiple employees (for example, all 10 members of your talent pool) and assign the
same goals in a single event.
This is the only option that fulfills the requirement of assigning two self-development goals to all
members in one step.

Talent &Performance Study Guide topics:
Goal Management: Covers the difference between worker-specific vs. mass goal actions.
Talent Pools: Workday documentation explains that pools are often used for succession planning and
development, and “Add Goal to Employees” is the correct bulk action for assigning development activities.
External Training Reference: ERP Cloud Training notes that “The Add Goal To Employees task allows
administrators to assign multiple goals across groups such as talent pools or organizations, enabling
faster alignment with development plans.”【web source on Talent & Performance training】
Workday Pro Talent & Performance Flashcards: Confirm that the correct way to mass assign goals is
via Add Goal To Employees task, not Manage Organization Goals (which is only for defining org-level
goals).
Question 3
A worker is providing feedback and they only want it to be visible to the feedback recipient.
What kind of feedback allows for this?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
In Workday, Private Feedback is visible only to the feedback recipient.
Confidential Feedback is visible to both the recipient and their manager. Anonymous Feedback hides the identity of the feedback giver but may still be visible to managers or admins depending on configuration. Public Feedback is broadly visible acrossthe organization or workgroup. Therefore, the only feedback type that ensures visibility only to the recipient is Private Feedback. Reference: Workday Talent & Performance study material on feedback types. Workday Pro Talent & Performance training notes: “Private feedback is restricted to the recipient alone; confidential feedback includes the manager, while public feedback is visible more broadly.”
