Workday Live agenda

The rapid pace of technological change has always had multiple, sometimes contradictory, outcomes for the world of human resources. Namely, exciting new opportunities and jobs on the one hand, and a shift in – or even a disappearance of – roles on the other. But now that the pace of change is accelerating faster than ever before, technological change is creating more disruption in the nature of work and the workforce itself. Join us as we kickstart Workday Live to hear from one of our customers about their talent journey. Plus, Richard Doherty, Senior Product Marketing Manager, will discuss how Workday is leading the way and building the first AI/ML-driven skills intelligence foundation. A foundation that can help you leverage the most powerful skills data, allowing you to unleash human potential at scale.

Data – you have tons of it, but how do you make sense of it? Workday makes it easy to get a complete picture of your financial and workforce transactions, third-party and legacy application data, budgets and plans, peer benchmarks and more, so you can make intelligent, informed decisions. This session will showcase how Workday Prism Analytics connects and blends transactional and high-volume data, and how you can give teams the granular reporting they need with Discovery Boards for ad hoc analysis.

The world around us is turbulent. More than ever before, employees' expectations have changed – feeling disconnected from work and directly impacting performance and attrition. With machine learning built into Workday Peakon Employee Voice, you can create personalised experiences that guide your people through critical moments. Meanwhile, with Workday Everywhere, you can give employees access to dashboards and data from the workplace of their preference. Workday Assistant can enable your teams to complete everyday tasks by simply talking. And with Workday Journeys, you can support your people where it matters most and prompt friendly reminders to stay on track. Join this session to see how.

With Workday Enterprise Cloud Platform, you can integrate, connect, extend and securely tailor Workday to meet your business needs – for just about everything. In this session, we’ll be joined by a customer who is excited to share their journey with Workday Extend. Being an early adopter, this customer will share how the technology has adapted over the past couple of years and how they separated their apps when the company split.

Everyone knows workforce planning is critical to business success. Yet, chances are you've settled for an error-prone spreadsheet process or complex and clunky legacy software that can't keep pace with our rapidly changing world. Join this session to see how Workday can easily link your workforce plans to financial models so you can keep your hiring plans on target and on budget; optimise your people resources to meet current business demand; and model skills capacity by location, cost of workforce and more.

We want to empower our customers with one centralised recruiting hub, so that you can align hiring with your business needs and engage candidates at every stage. Join this session to see our talent acquisition product in action, from both the employer and candidate perspective. We'll demonstrate how hiring managers can exchange interview feedback via Microsoft® Teams and Slack, and easily create requisitions on mobile; how ML in Workday gleans skills from your candidates’ CVs then recommends job opportunities; how real-time updates mean candidates can check the status of applications and select interview times; and much more.

At Workday, we're excited to be at the forefront of innovations – helping our customers increase efficiency and adapt with agility. In this breakout session, our CSM team and UX Product Manager will talk you through features you might not be fully aware of that will ultimately make your day-to-day experience much better. Expect to see updates on the Workday Docs rollout, including multi-language contracts, Workday mobile, Worksheets and Workday Everywher.

Workday Strategic Sourcing streamlines the source-to-contract process, making it easier for stakeholders and suppliers to drive collaboration and deliver results. Hear how our customers are closing the sourcing loop and achieving 99% ROI in the first year. In this session, we'll demonstrate just how Workday Strategic Sourcing is different.

Managing global payroll can be challenging and can test the passion of payroll professionals as they navigate the complexities of paying a global workforce. In this session, we'll be sharing product insight and discussing some key questions, including: What business challenges do organisations face when it comes to managing payroll globally? How is Workday helping organisations overcome global payroll challenges? What benefits can an organisation achieve with the right global payroll solution? And how can a global payroll solution help you address multi-country compliance issues?

Overwhelmingly, research tells us that what's right for employees is also right for business – focussing on diverse representation, creating a culture of belonging and developing equitable practices helps benefit a business's top and bottom lines. In this session, we’ll showcase our findings from our latest research and our customers' approach to value, inclusion, belonging and equity.

Technology transformation is only the first step of a Workday-enabled business transformation – unlocking full benefits potential is dependent on new capabilities but also new ways of operating. For this session, the Workday Value Management team will explain the core components for delivering meaningful financial benefits across the organisation.

Finding ways to fund company growth initiatives while controlling costs has become a major challenge for today's finance executives. An organisation's extended workforce is quite often a substantial percentage of budget – especially when it's a hidden financial drain. Join our team to see how VNDLY's API integrations ensure you have accurate, comprehensive data that's critical for making quick budget and priority adjustments. Say goodbye to those surprise change orders, extended assignments and rate modifications that regularly go unchecked.

Join us to hear from our customers about how they're using the service and what benefits they have seen so far. Plus, hear more about our two new plans: Accelerate and Accelerate Plus.

Workday Time Tracking is part of a single system with absence, HCM and payroll. With everything together, you gain one source of data and unified actions – helping to reduce costs and increase productivity. In this demo session, we’ll show how mobile time tracking now comes with geofencing; how your workers get reminders to check in and out as they enter and exit the jobsite; and how a full view of your workforce means you can act timely on absence issues. We'll also share more about our intelligent scheduling management software, which uses AI to match worker preferences with business demands.

Are you familiar with our reporting toolkit? Here, we provide self-service analysis at your fingertips, all in the same system where you make all other HCM and finance decisions and plans.
