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

1. **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).

2. **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.

3. **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.

4. **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.

5. **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.

6. **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.

7. **Extended Indexed Data Sources**  
   - Reporting enhancements include extending custom data sources, helping isolate performance issues in reports.

8. **Recruiting Enhancements**  
   - Focus on both Recruiter and Candidate Experience has improved processes significantly for high-volume recruiting organizations.

9. **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.

10. **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.
