Writing Assistant provides guidance on suggested comments within the Performance Review and 360 Review forms.
You can access it within the standard competency libraries, using the tool Manage Writing Assistant and Coaching Advisor.

You can access the Writing Assistant when completing a Performance Form or 360 Review form by selecting the Writing Assistant button.

In the Writing Assistant dialog box, you can select the level of behavior that most closely describes the employee. Each level of behavior has teasers, which describe the behavior.
You can adjust the positivity of the language in the text and choose the voice.

The Give Advice tab provides guidance relevant to the competency being rated. It offers developmental suggestions and concepts that address a defined problem or encourage an employee’s strength. The text displays on the Give Advice tab in the order determined in the performance details.
