Innovations
for the Changing World of HR
HR
leaders are under more pressure than ever to effectively manage and develop
their people as they encounter a new world where technology is reshaping every
job, alternative work arrangements are becoming the norm, and speed of agility
is key to survival. Driven by customer demand, Workday has made significant and
unique investments to build solutions that support a multi-faceted workforce,
new ways of working, and a distributed workplace.
With new advancements
announced at Workday Rising, customers are able to:
Personalize and Elevate
Employee Experiences
People
are overwhelmed with more tools than they know what to do with–and employers
are relying on static portals that push them into various systems to find
information or complete tasks. Workday has set out to create an experience that
is personalized for each user, to help people feel more informed, agile, and
truly supported.
Meet Evolving Talent Demands
and Unlock Opportunity
Skills
have emerged as a critical data source for fueling the talent lifecycle,
prompting Workday to build a core Skills Graph foundation using machine
learning to map relationships between more than 200,000 skills. With this
foundation, Workday created the skills cloud to link skills to people and then
connect them to jobs, opportunities, projects, and much more, enabling new
solutions such as:
Make Faster, Smarter People
Decisions
Data
science, once available to only a few, is now democratized and being applied to
all aspects of HR. But most organizations’ efforts to be more data-driven still
run into challenges around fragmented data, data literacy, lack of specialized
resources, and stringent data privacy and governance requirements. Utilizing
one source for data, Workday can help customers make more fact-based decisions
with the following advancements:
Automate and Digitize Time-Consuming
Processes
Organizations
are constantly seeking out tools that improve operational efficiencies in order
to drive productivity. Workday aims to streamline and automate time-consuming
manual processes across HR, enabling people to focus their time on more
strategic efforts with the following solutions and capabilities:
o Workday Credentials will
enable enterprise customers to quickly issue, manage and verify credentials for
all types of workers and individuals–employees, contractors, students, and
partners, helping to streamline credential verification and compliance.
o The WayTo by Workday mobile
app will give individuals a better way to store, manage, and share their verified
credentials as well as professional and personal information on their device.
This means that individuals can decide exactly what and with whom to share
information about themselves to expedite application processes. For instance, a
hospital could onboard a nurse in days instead of weeks by verifying their
identity, healthcare credentials, and work experience all within Workday.

organizations need new ways to engage and inspire a fluid workforce that brings
its consumer technology expectations to the workplace,” said David Somers, vice
president and general manager, Talent Optimization, Workday. “Workday is

analytics into every inch of our solutions. This enables us to surface
