Principles and Best Practice. A Guide to Workday® Implementation

Monday, 20 March 2023 15:45

As experts in Workday® systems, we understand that implementing  this  platform  requires  a  deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges of each industry. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for this question, as the answer varies depending on which aspects of Workday® are being implemented. 

For  instance,  some  companies  opt  out  of using Workday® Benefits due to their engagement with third-party vendors for benefits administration. However, industry-specific differences can have a significant impact on recruitment and onboarding processes. For example, retail-heavy organizations need evergreen requisitions to manage seasonal increases in hires, such as during the holiday and back-to-school seasons. In contrast, food service firms often face a shortage of truck drivers, requiring increased pay and bonuses for drivers.

Additionally, software solutions providers can benefit from remote work options and online collaboration tools.

DESIGN & CONFIGURATION

To ensure a successful implementation, it is crucial to capture these industry-specific differences during the design and configuration stages. Each organization has unique  staffing  models  and  recruiting  methods  that need to be taken into account. Careful consideration of these  variations  can  make  all  the  difference  in  the success or failure of the implementation.

PRINCIPLES

Regardless of industry, there are a few fundamental principles that should be followed when implementing 

Workday® Core HCM.This includes selecting a staffing model that aligns with the organization's hiring practices, thoroughly evaluating security groups and assignments, building simple and effective business process flows, and setting up reports and dashboards that reflect normal day-to-day operations for multiple personnel, such as managers, HR, and executives.
