If you're gearing up for a Workday implementation or considering expanding your internal HRIS team, there's usually an expectation that the initial HRIS Analyst/Manager will handle both integration and hands-on configuration tasks. While finding someone proficient in both areas isn't unheard of, it's rather rare. Typically, these duties fall into two distinct categories: one requires technical prowess, focusing on building integrations from the ground up and ensuring seamless data flow, while the other entails functional expertise, ensuring configurations align with organizational requirements. Recognizing this distinction early on is vital for refining your hiring strategy. If you're uncertain about setting realistic expectations regarding budget, years of experience, and other essential factors, I'd be happy to schedule a conversation to discuss further. 📧 mw@haleinternational.com 📞 917-810-4957 #Workday #WorkdayImplementation #support #haleinternational

If you’re about to start a Workday implementation or looking at building out your internal HRIS team, there's often an expectation that the initial HRIS Analyst/Manager on the team will juggle both integrations and hands on configuration tasks. Finding dual expertise for configuration and integration isn't unheard of, but it's quite rare. More often than not, these responsibilities fall into two separate categories: one leans towards the technical side, building integrations from scratch and providing a smooth data flow, while the other focuses on the functional side, making sure configurations meet organizational needs. Recognizing the difference early on will 100% help your hiring strategy. If you're unsure what's a realistic expectation when factoring in budget, years of experience, and other key considerations – let's set up a conversation. 📧 JM@haleinternational.com 📲 917 810 4957 #Workday #WorkdayHiring #WorkdayImplementation

🤔 Are you familiar with Workday, or do you use another HRIS platform?   I've been using Workday as HRIS for almost 5 years now. Initially, I started as a simple HR user, mainly entering data and making some adjustments within employee lifecycle. At the time, I found Workday to be user-friendly, with the key advantage of centralizing all our HR data and providing useful reporting functionalities. Over the past 2 years, I've been involved in various projects, including testing functionalities and assisting with data migration during implementation processes. Despite my initial confidence, I discovered there was much more to learn than I expected 😅 I've expanded my knowledge of Workday, exploring its various functional areas. One notable milestones during this time was setting up a comprehensive compensation review process for the EU region, complete with templates, validation rules, participant management and budget allocation. I implemented several customized reports, ensuring managers could efficiently navigate through the complexities of compensation management. Below are some tips if you are planning to implement Workday in your company. ✅ Ensure you have at least a couple of in-house experts on board. This can often be more cost-effective than hiring an external company that bills by the hour. It will help you expanding internal expertise. ✅ Make sure you have access to #WorkdayCommunity as a helpful resource where a lot of answers can be found. It's a valuable platform for troubleshooting and gaining insights from other Workday users. 🤲 And what has been your impression using Workday, or which HRIS do you use in your daily work as HR? I'm curious to hear about your experiences with HRIS platforms! #HRIS #Workday #HumanResources #PeopleManagement

🚫 Workday (or any HRIS) shouldn't be your guiding light... ⭐ Employee Experience (EX) should be your true North! Let's be real for a sec: Your HRIS is just a tool 🛠️ — a vehicle 🚗, not the destination 🏁. Worshipping at the altar of platforms like Workday, SAP, Oracle? Nah. The REAL goal is making sure your workforce has a smooth, intuitive, and engaging experience 🧑💻👩💻. The bar has risen 🏋️: Clear choices ✅ Obvious flows ⛵ Predictable outcomes 🎯 But here’s where it gets tricky… You’ve got two types of EX to handle: 1. The 99%: Your everyday users need self-service 🖱️, manager tools 👨💼, and a seamless hire-to-onboard flow 🚀. 2. The 1%: Your admins and builders 🔧. They’re your secret weapons 🛡️. Lose them, and you’re in big trouble 🚨. Myth-busting time! 💥 Your HRIS launch isn’t the finish line 🏁. It’s not even the starting gun 🏃♂️. Great EX? It’s not pre-packaged 🛍️. It’s tailored, refined, and iterated 🔄. What does it take? 🌍 Smart job catalogs for promotions and incentives 💼 🌍 Seamless integrations for live data 🔄 🌍 Insightful reports and dashboards 📊 🌍 Planning tools to spot opportunities 🧭 When you nail this, your CHRO transforms from just another suit 👔 to a strategic mastermind 🧠, foreseeing challenges and steering the ship 🚢. Want the secret to navigating the HR sea? 🌊 It's not in blindly implementing your HRIS; it’s in focusing relentlessly on EX! 🌟 ✅ Your North Star? The experience of every single employee interacting with your HR stack. Get this right, and everything else falls into place 📦✨. So, ask yourself: What’s the best EX you can create today? 🤔 P.S. How are you leveling up EX in your HRIS strategy? 💡💼 #EmployeeExperience #HRIS #HRTech #PeopleFirst #EXMatters #FutureOfWork #HRInnovation #DigitalHR #Workday
