In Workday Talent & Performance, when you want to assign goals to 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 toone workerat 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 defineorganization-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 forconfiguring 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 formass 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 assigningtwo self-development goals to all membersin one step.
