Talent Reviews - where do pre-populated Talent Ratings pull from in the system?

Summary:

Hello!

I just wanted to reach out regarding a general system question and confirm understanding of the system. Talent Reviews' "Prepare Review Content" and subsequent plotting on 9-box when conducting the meeting usually draw from previous talent review ratings recorded in the system.

"Prepare Review Content" process draws latest talent ratings in system from previous talent reviews. Any adjusted ratings given during this process is then effectively pre-plotted onto the 9-box when the meeting is conducted. If nothing is adjusted during "Prepare Review Content" - the ratings from the previous talent review meeting - unadjusted - would plot.

In the event that individuals in the review population do have all ratings vetted from previous talent review meeting and a manager chooses not to adjust these ratings during "Prepare Review Content" - we sometimes run into the issue where that review population individual does not plot on 9-box as expected and instead, is held in the holding area until they are dragged into desired location on 9-box.
