How to answer your Talent Snapshot

The terminology your business uses for this feature may be different to 'Talent Snapshot'. If you use terms like 'Performance reviews', 'Annual appraisals', or 'Employee evaluations' this guide will still be relevant. Wherever this document refers to 'Talent Snapshots' screens or buttons, simply look for the terms your business uses instead.

What are Talent Snapshots?

Talent Snapshots are the way your business is able to measure and review your performance and behaviours.

Depending on how your business has chosen to conduct Talent Snapshots they may be answered by only by yourself, only by your manager, or collaboratively by both yourself and your manager.

You may go through this process one or more times each year, each time you complete a Talent Snapshot is called a 'Round'.
