Workday® Boomerangs, a Holiday Gift with Great Returns
Our team had a great time at Rising! As usual Workday® and its customers and partners came together to provide a week jam-packed with great content – and a little fun too! A common theme we took away from this year’s sessions is “maximize your Workday® investment”. Many of the sessions focused on ways to leverage Workday® in new and different ways to solve business challenges, and many of the features and enhancements we were most excited to learn about are included in your core subscription.
Top Ten Take-Aways
View Security for Securable Item
- How many Rising sessions erupted into applause three times in a one-hour session? This is what happened during a session on security. Security for Securable Item is an invaluable tool. The issue is typing ‘Comp change,’ receiving a list of 50 items, then clicking on descriptions of each one. Coming soon to your tenant – enter ‘Comp Change’ in Sec for Sec and receive a filtered set of responses by type (Tasks, Reports, Report Fields).
Mass Operations Management (MOM)
- This allows users with appropriate security to perform mass operations on business processes on an ad hoc basis or a scheduled background process. This feature can automatically escalate up the management chain, reassign, advance, and even cancel business process tasks. One interesting use case involves feedback: MOM can push requests and is available for Get Feedback on Worker and Get Feedback on Self.
Enhanced Survey Feature
- Workday shared how they leverage surveys internally to measure employee engagement. They push out a short two-question survey to all employees' mobile apps every Friday morning that takes seconds to complete. This gives executives quick insights into what’s critical for the company.
User Activity Logging
- This feature provides data on user access and activity within a tenant for 30 days, allowing customers to opt-out if desired. Its data utilization should be detailed in internal security policy.
Request BP, and Guided Tour text
- Create custom business processes in Workday for users to initiate requests such as change requests or employee self-service requests. This can help streamline requests before involving IT Help Desk.
Benefits User Experience
- Open enrollment season is active, and Workday is redesigning the desktop enrollment experience alongside mobile. Users will soon be able to compare plans and integrate third-party decision tools in one place.
Extended Indexed Data Sources
- Reporting enhancements include extending custom data sources, helping isolate performance issues in reports.
Recruiting Enhancements
- Focus on both Recruiter and Candidate Experience has improved processes significantly for high-volume recruiting organizations.
Prism
- With new tools like Discovery Boards for rapid analytics and the forthcoming People Analytics app, Prism shows promise for combining Workday data with external sources.
Workday Cloud Platform (WCP)
- Announced last year, WCP is now available to Fast Followers, with new features like Workday Query Language (WQL) and App Creator for non-developers.
