Performance Calibration · Workday

Workday tracks your people. Confirm calibrates them fairly.

Workday is great at employee records and org structure. It's not built for bias-free performance calibration. Confirm layers on top of Workday to add ONA data, AI-powered profiles, and real-time bias detection to every calibration session.

Workday calibration: good at collecting ratings, bad at making them fair.

If you're running Workday, you already have the best enterprise HRIS on the market. Your employee data is clean. Your org structure is accurate. Payroll doesn't miss a beat.

Then calibration season arrives and none of that matters. Managers walk into a conference room (or a Zoom call), debate employee ratings based on memory and gut feel, and the loudest manager wins. Workday recorded the outcome. It didn't make it fair.

The problem isn't Workday. It's that calibration requires behavioral evidence Workday doesn't capture: who actually collaborated cross-functionally, who drove the Q3 initiative, who's been quietly checking out for three months. That evidence lives in Slack, email, calendar, and code—not in your HRIS.

Confirm captures that evidence continuously and surfaces it in a calibration session interface that connects directly to your Workday employee roster. Every manager arrives with an AI-synthesized profile for each employee. The discussion is grounded in data, not politics.

Manual roster uploads after Workday sync

Your Workday roster, automatically synced.

Confirm reads employee records, org structure, and manager relationships directly from Workday. When someone transfers teams, gets promoted, or a new hire joins, Confirm updates without any manual work. Your calibration session always reflects the live org chart—not a two-week-old spreadsheet.

Behavioral evidence Workday doesn't have.

Workday knows your people's job titles and compensation bands. Confirm knows how they actually work: who they collaborate with, who reaches out for advice, who's becoming isolated. That ONA data surfaces in every calibration profile, so ratings reflect contribution—not proximity to leadership or manager advocacy skills.

What Workday Performance doesn't flag.

Workday records whatever rating managers submit. It doesn't flag when a woman is described as 'not strategic enough' while a man with the same output is called 'high potential.' Confirm's real-time bias detection scans calibration language as the session runs and surfaces patterns before they become decisions. Legal defensibility built in.
