Designed to support performance

Workday is committed to helping companies identify and leverage all of the talents, skills, and expertise of their workforce. Workday delivers quick, easy access from anywhere in the system to any worker’s qualifications, experience, and work history—unlike traditional systems that limit visibility into worker assets. For example, Workday allows you to easily search through biographical and professional information company-wide to locate people with the skills you need to staff special projects or fill open positions. You can also set up models to rate and track a range of competencies and qualifications, including:

• technical and language skills
• projects and project roles
• training and certifications
• awards and accomplishments
• professional memberships

One size does not fit all

Workday enables companies to align and re-align their workforce in real-time to support their strategic business objectives and respond to change with great agility. Traditional applications allow only rigid vertical department boundaries, which makes change difficult. But Workday supports multiple organization types, adapts to your business processes, and enables changes without requiring programmers or IT support.

With Workday, you can create and restructure a range of organization types. Workday also enables you to:

• Create supervisory organizations most appropriate for your business needs.
• Establish matrix manager and other less formal organizational reporting hierarchies.
• Modify your organization and configure business processes to respond swiftly to changing business demands.
• Gain fast, easy access to comprehensive worker information—contact information, job and compensation history, resume, etc.—so you can identify the most qualified people for your needs.
• Configure and utilize a range of fully actionable organizational reports.

Unlike traditional applications, Workday Development gives you an up-to-date chart of any organization at any time, from anywhere in the system. Workday also enables companies to view headcount, staffing, and other metrics from the perspectives of different types of organizations:

• Supervisory Organizations – Establish traditional manager-employee hierarchical organizations, and define various types of reporting relationships with different types and levels of approvals.
• Costing Organizations – Choose from multiple ways to set up cost centers and allocate costs for organizations.
• Company/Legal Entities – Assign as defaults company-wide workflow elements – such as event approval configuration, checklist definitions, and HR partner involvement – that can be overridden at a lower organizational level.
• Regional Organizations – Create any number of concurrent user-defined geographical structures.
• Team Organizations – Gain new ways of managing the teams you assemble to execute a plan and accomplish a goal.
• Matrix Manager Organizations – Establish matrix manager to relationships that allow matrix managers to participate in employee development processes and decisions.
• Custom Organizations – Define your own organizations, such as Unions, Committees, Communities of Practice, etc.

Social Networking at work
Strategic companies understand the importance of social networks in the workplace. Social networks become even more important in a global company, where colleagues and team members may reside in different cities, countries and even time zones. Workday brings a ‘personal touch’ to work, allowing people in different locations to network while at work. For example, managers and employees can easily navigate organizations and teams to learn about, and network with, their colleagues.
