New Workday Concepts guides provide functional overviews

We’re working on a series of new Workday Concepts reference guides to provide further insight into specific work functions in Workday. Workday Concepts guides aim to provide greater visibility into process flows, and help employees understand how the tasks they perform function as part of a broader workstream.

Currently, Workday Concepts guides are available for the following functions:

• Academics
• Recruiting
• Staffing
• Compensation
• Time & Absence
• Security
• What Does an HR Partner Do in Workday?

Each new guide focuses on a high-level functional concept in Workday, and includes a general overview, as well as information about individual processes, related terminology, and personnel and security roles involved. Each guide also includes a complete list of related reference guides, organized by relevant security roles, and helpful resources related to the function.

The guides can be found by searching the Workday Knowledge Base for Workday Concepts, the name of the Workday function, such as Time and Absence, or an HCM event, for example how to enter time off.

Links to the guides can also be found on the Workday for Human Resources web page.

Right now, we’re working on Workday Concepts guides for HR functions and guides for finance and grants functions will be available in the coming months.
