Talent Management
Talent Management at Emory is the integration of four processes that helps manage the talent of our Emory community. This integrative approach allows for a greater ability to identify and develop future talent, so that as opportunities arise, we can promote more often from within.
Performance Management
Emory University is transitioning to a new system, Bullseye Engagement for performance management. This new system is much easier to use, with fewer steps required to complete a review, simpler navigation, and more advanced tools.
Traditional Features:
- Mid-year review
- Annual review
New features
- Check-in tool for ongoing feedback
- Large library of additional competencies
- Results Writer (Manager and Self)
- Integrated with other talent management processes
Training and Support Resources
Emory offers multiple resources to help you with the FY23 Performance Management process, including training and user guides for navigating the new Bullseye Engagement system, and training for understanding the new DEI competency.
Learning Management
Introduction to Brainier and Open Sesame
Brainier Learning Management System (LMS) is our new training location, replacing Emory Learning Management Systems (ELMS). It will be launched in two phases—the first launch (early May) will provide courses from Open Sesame, and the second phase will contain the rest of the training that you’re used to seeing in ELMS (summer of 2023).
Open Sesame is a training content vendor, with eLearning available in different formats on a variety of topics, such as business skills, leadership, compliance, wellness, DEI, and software and web services. Courses from Open Sesame are searchable through Brainier. You can also see the full list of courses by downloading the Open Sesame Course Catalog (in MS Excel). This list will be updated as new courses are added.
A request for access to additional training content from Open Sesame can be submitted here.
NOTE: Open Sesame courses are an optional professional development opportunity; they do not replace required trainings that are currently in ELMS.

Talent Planning
Talent Planning involves identification of top talent to meet current and future needs for the long term. This process helps departments form a strategy for talent development efforts based on need and priority. It requires evaluating performance and potential and provides the ability to assess retention risk and criticality of roles.
This process is completed with the guidance of our Talent Management consultants. More details to come.

Career Navigation
Career Navigation is a way for employees to discover:
- Types of jobs available across Emory
- The competency and experience required other jobs at Emory
- Development available to “close the gap” between current and aspirational state
- Tools to create a career development plan, and receive feedback from your manager
This process involves the creation of job profiles which is currently underway. More details to come.
