Training for Workday@Penn, a major component of Penn’s Human Capital Management (HCM) Transformation Initiative, will soon begin. The HCM project is transforming how Penn delivers services related to the broad range of human capital management, such as staff recruitment, faculty and staff personnel and benefits administration, payroll, time management and more. Faculty, staff and student workers will enjoy simplified, efficient, modern processes that provide more access to their own information. Workday@Penn will also offer dramatically improved transparency, real-time information and a platform expected by a twenty-first century workforce.

Workday@Penn, which will go live on July 1, 2019, will provide the University community with a learning experience tailored to their particular role in Workday. Workers as self and managers will have ready access to an orientation webinar, tip sheets and other online resources for just-in-time learning. Those members of the University community who will have human resources and payroll responsibilities in Workday@Penn will attend required training before go-live on July 1. These include many of the business administrators, recruiters, payroll administrators and others who accomplish these tasks today in Penn’s legacy systems. Penn’s schools and centers have each designated those who will hold various Workday security roles. Definitions of security roles and descriptions of training courses are now available on the Workday website (PennKey required).

Penn trainers will lead the courses which kick off on April 29 in locations throughout the campus. Those with security roles that require training will soon receive messages from Knowledge Link, Penn’s learning management system that provides access to and registration for classroom and web-based training.
