Workday Adoption Project Update Volume 3

Hello NEIU Colleagues, 

As we near the end of October, we want to take a moment to reflect on the participation, support, and collaboration of colleagues throughout the University as we continue to review and improve our Workday processes and user experience. Thank you for getting and staying engaged!

Provided below are a few project updates.  If you see something you are interested in learning more about, please contact us or a member of the Cross-functional Working Group. 

ACTION ITEM UPDATES

Over the past several weeks, Human Resources has conducted Workday support sessions with the following departments to assist with organizational chart changes, opening new positions, and changing an employee’s position (promotions, terminations):

  • Accounting, Business Law, and Finance

  • Budgets

  • College Arts and Sciences

  • College of Business and Technology

  • College of Education

  • Controller's Office

  • Facilities Management

  • Graduate College

  • Social Work Department

  • Sociology

  • Student Employment

Academic Affairs continues to meet one-on-one with department staff and Chairs to address specific Workday inquiries. 

TECHNICAL UPDATE

UTS continues to have ongoing integration meetings multiple times a week with various areas of the university, as those areas identify additional needs for optimization & efficiency through integration automation.

Similar to Human Resources, UTS has conducted Workday support sessions for various departments.  For example,

  • UTS aided & assisted the Controller's Office with eight streamlined business validation processes that are now tested and completed.

  • UTS also worked closely with the Budget Office to streamline & automate a Budget Composite Report generation that is now completed and moved to production.

UTS Continues to work to improve and expedite manually intensive processes through the ongoing development of integrations as the need is identified.
