High Level Change Journey

Student employees:

  • See "Workday Wins” ads around the university and the medical center
  • Hear about Workday from their supervisors
  • Students understand they will learn more about the new technologies when they return to their campus jobs over the summer and in the fall. 
April - December 2020

Student employees:

  • See "Workday Wins” ads around the university and the medical center
  • With manager support, complete Workday training so that they are prepared and feel ready; managers have been informed so that they can answer student employee questions on what to expect on Day 1
Go-Live! and beyond

Student employees:

  • Who are starting in their roles in the fall are given an introduction to Workday from their supervisors. 
  • Feel ready to use the system;  while they might not know how to do everything in Workday, they know where to go for help
  • Have access to on-demand training materials, after go-live, for reference when they have questions; as Workday is updated, they receive an email when the updates affect them
