A redesign of the Workday@Penn website delivers an improved experience tailored to the needs of business administrators, human resources professionals, faculty coordinators, managers, and faculty, staff, postdocs, students, and affiliates across campus. The new site focuses on helping people find the resources most relevant to their day-to-day responsibilities or the task they need to accomplish.

At the top of the redesign is a streamlined role-based structure. Site visitors can select the role they use in Workday–such as a Workday security role, a manager of people, a worker performing a self-service task, or a learner with job-related training needs—and find curated content specific to their tasks. 

The site offers more prominent access to new, custom-designed, and easily navigable Workday tip sheets. They feature expanded content that includes links to related tip sheets and guides, as well as applicable University policies. Each tip sheet focuses on when to use or not use the tip sheet, gives an overview of the business process, highlights important considerations, and lists the names of related Workday reports. Most importantly, tip sheets continue their purpose of providing up-to-date, step-by-step instructions for robust business processes or quick self-service tasks. 

A growing library of topical guides receives more prominence. Guides provide context for transactions such as recruiting, hiring, compensation changes, time tracking, payroll processes, performance management, and administrative learning management. 

The enhancements create a more intuitive, role-aware resource that supports the University community in executing Workday transactions accurately and confidently. The site looks modern and meaningfully improves how the community can engage with University resources.
