The most recent Workday release includes improvements to business processes and user workflows to streamline the user experience. While the release also includes subtle back-end improvements, this update features a few noteworthy, larger-scale changes from refined functions to upgraded interfaces, all aimed at optimizing user efficiency.

RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS

  • New look for "Announcements" on Workday homepage: For better visibility, Workday has moved the "Announcements" section to a higher location on the homepage and now allows employees to scroll through announcements from left to right, rather than displaying announcements in a top-to-bottom format.
  • Save and manage jobs using the Career Hub Plan: With this release, Workday continues to improve the Career Hub user experience by allowing workers to save and manage jobs in their Career Hub Plan. This additional connection between Career Hub and Talent provides a more centralized approach to career planning. Currently, when users are interested in a job, they can create job alerts. With Save Jobs to Career Hub Plan, users can now apply to the job and save the job to their plan. Workday currently does not support Save Jobs to Career Hub Plan for contingent workers.
  • New attachment settings in the Change Job BP: This release offers an improved user experience during the Change Job process by making it easier to add attachments. Users can now drag and drop attachments to the change job event. While Workday won't display the Attachments tab on the Change Job screen, you can add attachments using the Attachment toolbar.
