SMP Talent Conference Task - Create - Step 1 - General

Update SMP Ratings

  • Update Evergreen Succession Ratings when the task is submitted - When this option is selected, the Evergreen succession ratings of each user in the talent conference task are updated with the ratings from the talent conference task as soon as the task is submitted. The updated Evergreen ratings are then updated wherever Evergreen ratings are used. When this option is not selected, the users' Evergreen ratings are not impacted by the talent conference task.

Use Case: An executive team performs employee calibration and does not want to share the calibrated data. This data is only available within the talent conference task and is available via reports.
