Focus on WD’s Post

After a brilliant week off in the sun I'm back at work and pleased to report the Workday market is picking up! See below for some details of roles we're actively working on in SystemsAccountants' Workday Practice: #workday #workdayuk #hiring #financesystems #workdayjobs #workdayFINS #workdayHCM #financetransformation

****LESSONS LEARNED FROM WORKDAY LAUNCH"""" Workday frees up business and IT resources from manual tasks and therefore gives companies more time to do strategic work and reduces the amount of applications required. 🚀 Lots of Workday customers have less than 1000 employees. One thing you will need is to hire specialists - you don't need lots of them and typically when working with smaller and mid-sized customers we will provide strong all-rounders who can do many things so you can get the most bang for your buck! 👍🙂💡 #focuscloud #workday #recruitment

Once Workday goes live, it’s not uncommon for businesses to lose sight of thier strategic roadmap, assuming one has already been put in place… 🛣️ The business knows Workday offers so many useful and impactful business processes and efficiencies. But without a point of contact, who is the authority for change in Workday, the probability of entering the Desert & Wilderness stages of implementation increases dramatically and an inevitable increase in costs. For example, you use a costly external partner to manage the absence module. This is the most extensive areas of management in Workday which covers over 40 business processes. You should have an Absence Product Owner or HRIS Specialist in-house. Why don’t you? There is no authority to manage this decision. Create a team of people from Finance, IT, HR, and Senior Stakeholders, to help maintain control of Workday and make strategic system decisions. You would call this team “The Workday Change Approval Board” or “The Global System Design Authority”. Having this structure of authority creates a culture of Workday adoption, maintenance, and improvement. This will change teams working in isolation to working in collaboration with the bigger picture of keeping Workday healthy and delivering on the digital transformation journey. How did your business establish authority for Workday? Do you think the Absence module should be an in-house position or supported by an external? How do you ensure strategic system meetings aren't viewed as "Just another Workday meeting?" #digitaltransformation #workday #hrtransformation #financetransformation Thoughts from "Making Light Work of Workday"
