First Workday Feature Release of 2024 coming in March

January 30, 2024

Workday issues two major updates, called “Feature Releases,” per year. The first Feature Release of 2024, also called “R1,” takes place March 8-9.

During a Feature Release, Workday implements a series of system updates, improvements, and new features. While hundreds of new features and enhancements are available during a Release, we work to identify and implement specific updates that will improve Workday for WSU.

We’ve already begun reviewing and testing updates all across Workday, including the following areas:

Time & Leave
Accessibility enhancements
Adaptive Planning
Grants Management
Recruiting, Hire, and Change Job
Help and Guidance within Business Processes
Procurement

Many changes during a Feature Release happen behind-the-scenes, in addition to those users can see when they log in to Workday. As we approach the launch date for the R1 updates, we’ll continue to provide information about the improvements that impact processes and the look and feel of Workday.

You can learn more about Feature Releases and what to expect by visiting the Feature Release Hub on the Modernization website.
