Workday Training

The HRPM Program has successfully completed


As planned, the HRPM program officially and successfully launched Workday on Tuesday, June 27, 2017. The program is now officially closed, and the newly established Integrated Service Center is up and running. This website remains available as an archival reference.

Workday is here!  On June 27, 2017, the University’s antiquated, 35-year-old legacy human resources and payroll system were replaced by a new cloud-based software called Workday.

For more information about Workday training and to access instructional videos and user guides please visit the Integrated Service Center (ISC) website. 

 

Training Everyone Should View
By the time Workday launches, all UW employees should view our Workday 101 Instructional Video Series, available on the ISC Website.
CLASSROOM-STYLE TRAINING
Classroom-style, personalized, instructor-led training is available for those security roles that initiate transactions in Workday.
Seminar-Style Training
Seminar trainings are offered for those who hold one (or more) security roles.
Training Materials on the ISC Website
The ISC website hosts Workday resources such as instructional videos and user guides. Also, for some very general tasks in Workday, graphic-rich and printable Quick Guides will be available to walk users through specific tasks.

 

 

 

Two-Factor Authentication

All employees need to enroll in Duo for two-factor authentication (2FA) to access Workday.
