Readiness Checklist
Make Year-End Performance Reviews Easier—Starting Now
A practical checklist for HR and HRIS leaders using Workday to prepare throughout the year for smoother reviews, calibration, and compensation decisions.
What Drives Successful Year-End Performance Cycles
Year-end performance success doesn’t start during review season. It’s built throughout the year—across feedback, goals, manager readiness, employee education, reviewer strategy, analytics, and foundational data alignment.
This checklist helps you assess where you’re ready and where small changes now can prevent big issues later.
What You'll Get
Built for HR leaders, HRIS teams, and Workday administrators supporting annual review cycles.
This checklist is based on hands-on Workday Talent & Performance experience—supporting organizations through review cycles, calibration, and compensation planning.
It’s not a configuration guide.
It’s strategic guidance designed to help your processes actually work when it matters most.
