    • Set the Head of Department for that sub-unit, then save.

    Note:  A Head of Department's ability to see subordinate information — including performance reviews — depends on this assignment matching the employee's sub-unit. Troubleshooting: If a Head of Department cannot see their team's performance reviews, check that they are set as the Head of Department on the correct sub-unit.
