TheGet Additional Reviewers subprocessis responsible for collecting reviewer nominations.

If you want themanager to approve reviewer namesafter a worker submits them, you configure anApproval step inside this subprocess.

It should be placedimmediately after the initiation stepto ensure manager approval occurs before reviewers are finalized.

Incorrect options:

A. Adding approval in the main Performance Review BP won’t tie it directly to the reviewer nominations.

B. Placing approval after “Complete Additional Evaluation” is too late—reviewers would already be acting.

C. Approval after manager evaluation is unrelated to reviewer setup.

When you add aComplete Additional Manager Evaluationstep in the Performance Review BP, the system only generates the Inbox task if the employee review template is configured to allow it.

This is controlled in theOther Reviewer Options sectionof the template.

You must enable“Additional Manager Evaluation for All Sections”for the task to route correctly.

Incorrect options:

B. Requiring comments in the Overall section doesn’t trigger the step.

D. Applies To field rules limit applicability but won’t control routing to the direct manager.

Organizational goals are tied togoal 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 anew goal periodin 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 theMaintain Goal Periodstask.
