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.
Career Navigation
Career Navigation is a structured process designed to help employees explore and manage their career growth at Emory University. This process consists of a few unique elements to encourage and stimulate your career growth:
- Career coaching
- Career Navigation tools in Bullseye
- Career development trainings/resources
The Talent Management team will be offering a few information sessions for you to ask questions and learn more about the Career Navigation process. Below are the registration links, dates, and times for the information sessions:
- Manager Session: May 20, 10:00 – 11:00am
- Individual Contributor Session: May 22, 10:00 – 11:00am
If you’re ready to begin your navigation journey here at Emory University, you can visit the Career Navigation Hub to register your interest in career coaching, learn about the Career Navigation tools, and engage with the career development resources available to you.
"At Emory, we are committed to fostering a culture where every employee feels empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive. The launch of our Career Navigation process is a significant step in delivering on that commitment. This initiative is designed to give all of us greater clarity, support, and resources as we explore and pursue meaningful career paths within our university. Even in times when hiring may be limited, the opportunity to invest in your development, deepen your skills, and prepare for future possibilities remains invaluable. I encourage you to take full advantage of the tools, coaching, and training now available through Career Navigation. Your growth matters—to you, to your team, and to the future of Emory. Let’s move forward—together."
--- Kevin B. Moody, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer

Staff Engagement Survey Results
In spring of 2024, Emory University launched a campus-wide staff engagement survey to help us understand staff perceptions of working at Emory.
To share the results, Human Resources held a Town Hall via Zoom on June 17, 2024. All staff members were invited to attend. To view a recording of the Town Hall and see additional resources, click here (log in required).
Performance Management
In 2023, Emory University transitioned 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 FY24 Performance Management process, including training and user guides for navigating the Bullseye Engagement system, and training for understanding the DEI competency.
Learning Management
Brainier and Open Sesame
Brainier Learning Management System (LMS) is our new training location, replacing Emory Learning Management Systems (ELMS).
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.
Training and Support Resources
Emory offers resources to help you access and use Brainier, the University's new Learning Management System, as well as the free courses available through Open Sesame.
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.
