and stage your reorganizations collaboratively before committing to and
executing seamlessly with mass actions.

• The business process framework enables you to easily configure, copy, and
change process flows; consider conditional logic; or embed information
throughout the process. All of this happens without IT or consulting
resources so you don’t have to deal with the delays and costs typical of
process changes. Configurable condition logic makes it easy to scale
processes to a global level while adapting them to local requirements.
 • An innovative security methodology is a core part of what makes Workday
HCM flexible and easy to use. Secure data rather than fields. Set up
security once, and it governs the data across all of Workday HCM, no
matter how it’s accessed—via browser or mobile app.

• Reporting and analytics are native to Workday HCM and inherit the
security configurations you set up for data. Reports, dashboards, and
scorecards are easy to configure, change, update, and publish. And
because transactional and analytical data are in the same system, you can
drill into data and take action on it from anywhere within Workday HCM.
Removing the separation between transactions and analytics means you
can manage your organization fluidly in real time and with full confidence
in data integrity.

• A mobile-first design fosters straightforward, relevant interaction to meet

workers where they are. A single application provides access to all of
Workday HCM. It’s always in sync, so changes made on the mobile app
instantly appear in the browser version and vice versa, making it possible
to fluidly move between mobile and desktop.

• Proactive compliance management combined with the single system

of record means that all compliance-related updates are rolled out to
customers at the same time and maintained by a team of Workday experts.

• Machine learning capabilities are delivered as a part of the Workday

foundation, providing personalized enterprise experiences and enabling
smarter and faster business decisions for all.

• Skills cloud offers a business-centric approach to skills management

with a skills count and an ontology of more than 55,000 skills, giving
workers an enhanced search experience to streamline skills reporting.
Organizations armed with analytics and insights can highlight top skills,
perform gap analysis, and empower leaders to help develop internal talent
or focus recruitment efforts externally. Skills cloud is the foundation for
much of the machine-learning-driven functionality in Workday HCM,
including functionality that helps identify workers with the skills needed
for internal opportunities that enable businesses to efficiently meet
resource needs.

Manage a global workforce.

Focusing on a singular model of people, organizations, assignments, and
business events, Workday ensures global consistency while allowing for local
variation. With this global perspective, Workday can provide meaningful business
insights across borders and business processes.

Operate locally, manage globally. Workday provides tools that help customers
comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and include a robust
configurable security model. Processes such as contracts and offers, collective
agreements, and apprentice management are all delivered as native functionality.
Workday even provides a delivered intersection point with works councils for
appropriate staffing events (termination, job change, and so on)
as well as a user role for recruiting agencies that are heavily used outside of
North America.

Get a complete view of your global workforce. Employee profile support for
more than 200 countries, territories, and regions incorporates country-specific
diversity and compliance-related features and enables you to track appropriate
data locally or globally.

Manage all worker types. Workday makes it easy to manage workers of all levels
across the organization, including contingent workers, employees, contractors,
and retirees.

People at the center.

Workday HCM is intuitive and easy to use. Processes flow throughout your
organization so each person involved has access to just the right information
and actions. For example, the compensation change process was designed for
every person involved—from strategy to approvals and transactions—rather
than just focusing on the compensation administrator. Machine learning
capabilities provide a personalized experience for all workers by providing
recommendations, surfacing the most relevant tasks, providing search results,
and more. Whether you are an employee, a contractor, a manager, an executive,
a board member, a business partner, a system administrator, a recruiting agency,
an applicant, a retiree, or even an auditor, Workday was built for you.

Elevate human resources.

Too often, HR departments get bogged down with administrative tasks and
transactions. With Workday HCM, you can focus on the things that matter:
talent strategy, employee experience, and long-term growth. It delivers
information and transaction flexibility to your employees, managers, and
executives, and provides you with the infrastructure to improve your
organization’s effectiveness and efficiency.

• Configurable business processes enable the HR team to maintain global

consistency while supporting local differences.

• Rich analytics provide comprehensive talent insights to drive coaching

and decision-making.

• A single application for administration, talent, learning, recruiting, payroll,

and more delivers unprecedented visibility, transactional simplicity, and
the ability to connect data across functions.

• Embedded analytics incorporate relevant information directly into

the transaction process, enabling fact-based decisions across the
organization.

• Complete visibility into the skills and capabilities of your current

workforce makes it easy to source internal talent and develop
employee skills.

• Having all employee information in a single system makes it easy to

plan for talent, whether it’s building talent pools, calibrating talent, or
monitoring the talent pipeline for succession locally or globally.

Engage your employees.
For workers, managing HR transactions such as benefits enrollment, expense
reports, PTO, and payroll is just the beginning. Workday HCM empowers
employees to tap into opportunities to grow within their organization, which
drives employee satisfaction and retention. Personal and professional growth
comes through the ability for employees to get feedback at any time, understand
opportunities, seek mentors and guidance, learn freely, and develop the skills they
need in order to take their career in any direction. With Workday HCM, employees
engage in a continuous and meaningful development experience throughout
the entire employee lifecycle—from onboarding to job changes, development
opportunities, and promotions—all from their desktop or mobile device.

• An intuitive mobile app enables employees to access information and

learning resources or conduct HR transactions anytime, anywhere.

• Employees can quickly share skills and feedback with co-workers or find
colleagues with specific expertise.

• Innovative capabilities such as the opportunity graph enable employees

to explore potential career moves and connect with mentors.

• Surveys offer critical data to employees for opportunities to

deepen engagement.

Empower your managers.

Workday HCM provides the insights, planning, transactions, coaching, and
development that managers need in order to effectively lead their teams.
Notifications and alerts eliminate delays and keep the organization moving
forward. And managers on the move can access information, make decisions,
and make transactions directly from their mobile device.

• Dashboards and reports provide instant insights into key measures and
metrics. With day-1 reporting, Workday HCM delivers key manager reports
at deployment so managers can start gaining value immediately.

• Analytics embedded directly into process flows helps inform decisions

at the point of action. Comprehensive visibility into worker data
enables managers to provide informed guidance and coaching that
supports retention. Managers can view job and career interests to steer
conversations; staff projects based on skills, desires, or feedback; and
recommend courses or development opportunities.

• Notifications and alerts enable managers to track any metric and receive
regular updates or alerts when the metric reaches a defined threshold.
Managers are better able to monitor their organization and focus their
time on the most critical issues.

• Workday HCM is continuous, so there aren’t any compensation lockouts

that prevent changes, hires, or promotions from being processed.
Workday HCM enables managers to coordinate all the moving parts
in change events—such as transferring an employee, reassigning that
person’s team, or updating compensation—anytime and any day of the
year, even during a merit cycle.

 • The mobile app is governed by the same access and security settings
as the browser version, giving managers everything they need to keep
moving at the speed of business.

Enlighten your executives.

Executives set the course for the organization, and Workday HCM provides
the navigation. Cascading goals align teams around common objectives,
configurable dashboards guide the way, and scorecards illustrate progress
toward the plan.

• Scorecards show how you’re doing on your goals, based on the metrics
that matter most to your organization. Teams can provide context for
performance by adding commentary.

• Performance and goals can be aligned with key milestones and

deliverables.

• Talent pipelines and talent pools reveal where your organization is strong
and where you need to fill skills gaps or talent shortages before they
impact the organization.

• Dynamic reports enable executives to see the big picture and then drill
down into the details to take action.

• External data can be incorporated into Workday HCM to provide

comprehensive insights.
