The "Nominations" feature within the "Assess My Team's Potential" task is specifically designed to allow managers to suggest employees for other roles by selecting a specific job profile. When Succession Planning is enabled, these nominations can be configured to directly populate talent pools and identify potential successors for key positions. This functionality provides a direct link between the talent review process and proactive succession management, enabling managers to formally recommend team members for future opportunities within the organization.

A. Achievable Level: This is a rating on the potential axis of the 9-box grid, indicating how far an employee might advance, not a nomination for a specific job profile.

B. Retention: This is an assessment of an employee's risk of leaving the organization. It is a data point for talent assessment, not a mechanism for suggesting them for a new role.

C. Review Rating: This is the performance rating from a performance review, typically used for the performance axis of the 9-box grid. It reflects past performance, not a future role nomination.
