Activities can be linked to Performance Goals. With the latest Goal Management version, the integration is automatic.

On the goal details, there is a Linked Activities section, where activities can be created.

Talent Intelligence Hub uses AI-assisted capabilities to infer and recommend skills to employees in their Growth Portfolio using CPM data. When an employee enters details in the achievements, activities, or feedback section in CPM, this feature infers skills based on the employee's inputs.

If the inferred skill exists in the Attributes Library of Talent Intelligence Hub, it is displayed as a recommended skill in the employee's Growth Portfolio. Employees can add the recommended skill to their Growth Portfolio or reject the recommendation.
