Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
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.”, ] -

Add Goal To Employees
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
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. Reference 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
Single answerA worker is providing feedback and they only want it to be visible to the feedback recipient. What kind of feedback allows for this?
-
Option A:Correct
Confidential
-
Option B:Correct
Anonymous
-
Option C:Correct
Public
-
Option D:Correct
Private
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
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.” -

Question 5
Single answerYou want each talent partner to create their own talent pools and be able to manually add or remove pool members.
If they choose to create a pool that is not shared with others, what type of talent pool will they create?-
Option A:Correct
Private Dynamic Talent Pool
-
Option B:Correct
Private Static Talent Pool
-
Option C:Correct
Restricted Dynamic Talent Pool
-
Option D:Correct
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Static Talent Pools allow manual addition and removal of members.
Private means the pool is only visible to the creator and not shared with others.
Therefore, a Private Static Talent Pool lets talent partners create their own pools, manage membership manually, and keep them unshared.
Incorrect options:
Dynamic Pools → membership is controlled by saved searches, not manual additions.
Restricted Pools → visibility is limited to certain groups but still shared, not completely private.
[References:, Workday Talent Pools configuration guide., Pro certification training: “Private Static Pools allow personal management of membership without sharing.”, ] -

What option groups workers for succession purposes?-
Option A:Correct
Development Plan
-
Option B:Correct
Candidate Pools
-
Option C:Correct
Succession Plans
-
Option D:Correct
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Even when using a job management staffing model , organizations use Succession Pools to group workers for succession planning.
Pools identify workers with potential to step into key roles in the future.
Incorrect options:
A. Development Plan → defines individual growth steps, not succession grouping.
B. Candidate Pools → used in recruiting, not succession.
C. Succession Plans → tied to specific positions or job profiles, not used for general grouping in job management models.

Question 7
Single answerAn employee had a manager from January through August. The employee then had a new manager from September through December.

Option A:Correct
Manager
-
Option B:Correct
Manager for Majority of Event
-
Option C:Correct
Matrix Manager
-
Option D:Correct
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
In a performance review event spanning multiple months, Workday determines which manager should receive the evaluation step.
The option Manager for Majority of Event ensures that the manager who supervised the employee for the longest portion of the review period (in this case, January–August) is the one who receives the task.
Incorrect options:
A. Manager → routes to current manager by default, not historical.
C. Matrix Manager → used for matrix org relationships, not standard review.
D. Primary Manager → is the current primary manager at the time of launch.

Option A:Correct
Maintain Skills and Experience Setup
-
Option B:Correct
Maintain Skill Item Categories
-
Option C:Correct
Maintain Skill Vendors
-
Option D:Correct
Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

Maintain Skill Vendors → used for external vendor integrations.
Maintain Skills → used for creating/editing skills but not selecting Skills Cloud as the default.
