Hello NEIU Colleagues,
As we prepare for the Winter Break, we wanted to provide one final Fall update on the Workday Project activities.
Our weekly communications will return in January, and we look forward to continuing to engage with you then. If we do not have the opportunity to speak directly with you, we hope you have a restful break, and for those who celebrate, we wish you a joyful holiday season.

HAVE A SUGESSTION? SUBMIT IT FOR REVIEW
The Workday Suggestion Box is a way for the campus community to provide feedback related to their experience or enhancements they would like to see in the Workday system. Here is the link to the digital “Suggestion Box.”
A few things to note:
-
The “Suggestion Box” is not a place to seek help or support. Colleagues still need to submit a ticket to the Support Desk (UTS) - helpdesk@neiu.edu
-
The “Suggestion Box” is also not a place to share your Workday tips/tricks. We ask that you still use the Google Form link for those types of stories.
