2025R1 Learning

Summary Pages

Hide Inactive Learning Content

Automatically Available

This update is geared towards making the lives of Learning Admins a bit easier.  Previously, Learning Admin search records were a bit hectic.  The end-user experience was clean, but there wasn’t a way to hide inactive content from our learning super-users. Now our tenant looks cleaner and inactive learning content only appears to us when we’re actively searching for it.

Email Validation for External Learners

Automatically Available

Workday maintains a list of invalid email domains  that is now being leveraged within External Learning User tasks as a validation rule against associating an External Learning User with an invalid email address. This validation rule will improve data accuracy for your External Learners and mitigate missed communications resulting from simple typos.

AI Summarizing Content Feedback

Automatically Available

This upate is automatically available IF your organization is already opted into Machine Learning & Activity Stream (aka presently leveraging course comments). If NOT, setup is required to do those two things. But if you DO have comments enabled for your Learning content, and struggle to make sense of and take action off of these comments without committing hours to reading thru them all, this update is for you. Using generative AI, Admins will have the option to generate an actionable course comment summary to streamline the process for incorporating comments into learning content updates. 

Language-Based Recommendations

Setup Required

If you have a multi-language learning catalog, chances are good that the value of learning recommendations is being limited by the language of that content recommendation.  This update gives us the option to surface a language preference designation that will allow Learners to influence the language of the learning content that is pushed to them, increasing the value of recommendations.

The Enhanced CCL Platform

Setup Required

Workday’s enhanced CCL platform is intended to make it easier for 3rd party content providers to integrate with Workday Learning. This ultimately means more Learning Content options for us.  It also appears to more easily outline the path to Partnership so providers you presently leverage that are not on this list could begin development of an integration to join this list.  From the administrative perspective, Workday has also consolidated CCL configuration tasks into one for ease of setup.

Engagement Builder

Setup Required

Prior to Engagement Builder, the creation of learning campaigns and all its components was disjointed and not incredibly intuitive. Engagement Builder is that one-stop-shopping we’ve been looking for. However, configuring reminders has not yet been included, which might be a deal-breaker if you heavily leverage learning campaign reminders. If that’s the case, continue as you are with campaigns until that feature is included in Engagement Builder.  

2025R1 Recruiting

Summary Pages

Docs & Document Generation for Onboarding

Setup Required

This update finally allows us the same functionality within Onboarding that is available elsewhere in your tenant. Prior to this, Onboarding was left in the stone-ages with conditional text block configuration in regular documents to utilize dynamic fields. Or forsaking dynamic fields entirely and using static PDFs.  If you’ve got review document steps in Onboarding where you settled for a static PDF, it might be worth revisiting.

New Workday Onboarding Experience

Setup Required

With this new update, Onboarding has become more flexible and accommodating, allowing us to curate specific onboarding experiences for pre-defined audiences.  All without the need to inject complexity into the Onboarding BP definition itself.  Similar in style to Journeys, Workday has provided a new Onboarding Planner Hub to manage our different Onboarding Plans, Onboarding Audiences, and Onboarding content.

We now have the option to begin onboarding sooner, with touchpoints in the Offer and Employment Agreement business processes as well as Hire and Contract Contingent Worker. The Onboarding Plan worklet will replace the existing Onboarding Dashboard internally, and external candidates will have access to the Onboarding Plan within their Candidate Home account prior to tenant access once they get assigned an Onboarding Plan.

Non-US English Locales

Setup Required

This update is poised to improve data accuracy and the candidate experience. Prior to this update, the external career site would default to MM/DD/YYYY date formatting, causing confusion should the date formatting be different in the candidate’s region.  Now, so long as the language is selected within the configuration of your external career site, Workday will honor the date format of the candidate’s location.

Enhanced Tracking for Agency Users

Setup Required

Prior to this update, Recruiting Agency Users did not have extensive security to see details of the Job Application stages for their candidates.  It usually required manually effort on behalf of Recruiters or Recruiting Admins to provide additional details beyond the overridden candidate stage label.  Now, we have the option to provide that additional detail through custom reporting without the need for security adjustments.

Multi-Language Search

Setup Required

With this update, the external career site search bar becomes a bit more language agnostic, improving the experience for bilingual candidates.  A candidate would be able to view the external career site holistically in one language, but search for a key word or phrase in another language and still return results (if applicable translations exist).

Validation for Send Message Task

Automatically Available

Our candidate communications are not nearly as impactful as we would like if they wind up in our recipient’s spam folder.  To mitigate this risk Workday will begin limiting the candidate grid functionality to a 1000 candidate max per batch.  If this update is cause for concern, we will continue to have no cap on our ability to send messages via candidate pools.

Candidate Home Usability

Automatically Available

This update continues previous work from 24R2 to enhance the candidate home experience for external candidates who are prompted for additional tasks after their initial application submission. Instead of appearing in a new screen, candidates who are asked to Change Government Identifiers or Update U.S. Disability Status will appear in a pop-up window within the current screen.  This update increases task efficiency as well as UX uniformity within the candidate home experience.

New Workday Onboarding Experience

Setup Required

With this new update, Onboarding has become more flexible and accommodating, allowing us to curate specific onboarding experiences for pre-defined audiences.  All without the need to inject complexity into the Onboarding BP definition itself.  Similar in style to Journeys, Workday has provided a new Onboarding Planner Hub to manage our different Onboarding Plans, Onboarding Audiences, and Onboarding content.

Now our tenant looks cleaner and inactive learning content only appears to us when we’re actively searching for it.

Enhanced CCL for Learning Platform

Setup Required

This update has future excitement potential, but all content provider enhanced CCL integrations are presently “under development” so there is nothing to test/see right now.

Workday’s enhanced CCL platform is intended to make it easier for 3rd party content providers to integrate with Workday Learning. This ultimately means more Learning Content options for us. From the administrative perspective, Workday has consolidated all CCL configuration tasks into one for ease of setup.

Engagement Builder

Setup Required

I am really excited about the future potential of this update but, between you & I, I don’t think it’s quite there yet. Mostly because reminders aren’t slotted to be included in this framework until later. That will be a deal-breaker for . . . every client I’ve worked on learning campaigns with. HOWEVER, once reminders are included, this new UI is fabulous and a drastic improvement from how we’re creating & managing campaigns now.

Prior to Engagement Builder, the creation of learning campaigns and all its components was disjointed and not incredibly intuitive. Engagement Builder is that one-stop-shopping we’ve been looking for. However, configuring reminders has not yet been included, which might be a deal-breaker if you heavily leverage learning campaign reminders. If that’s the case, continue as you are with campaigns until that feature is included in Engagement Builder.    

Mass Populate Worker Skills

Setup Required

If this update feels familiar, it was supposed to be included in 2024R2 but got delayed.

Relying on individual workers manually adding skills to their worker profile has mixed results. This mass action makes it easier to holistically populate skills on individual workers for your entire workforce, better utilizing suggestions & connectivity from Skills Cloud.

2024R2 Recruiting Updates

Summary Pages

Job Description Generation on Job Requisitions

Setup Required

AI is turning up everywhere, and Workday is no exception.  This may be our opportunity to work smarter, not harder, as generating job descriptions per job requisition can be time-consuming. This feature is new and experimental so it will still require review, but we stand to gain better, unique job descriptions more efficiently.

U.S. Federal Veteran’s Preference

Setup Required

With this update, Workday enables additional configuration beyond veteran’s status to verify Veteran’s Preference and include attachments.  This will allow for easier verification of veteran’s status to meet government requirements, if needed.

Manager Insights Hub

Setup Required

Up to this point, there were a dozen delivered manager dashboards specific to different functional areas. And the Manager Insights Hub was no different – focusing solely on Talent & Career related items. But no longer! This update moves the Manager Insights Hub closer to one-stop-shopping for Managers with the inclusion of themes like Hiring and Staffing, Time Management, and Budgeting.

Hub Navigation Customization

Setup Required

Previous Hub customization options were limited. Workday 2024R2 makes it easier for you to customize the navigation experience of your hubs. This enables you to create your own navigation items and groups with custom labels. You can also use this new feature to group and re-order Workday-delivered and custom navigation items on hubs.

External Career Site Job Applications

Setup Required

Speeding up the application process and making it more enjoyable overall is a win. This update is a series of small but mighty tweaks to the application process that have historically  been a nuisance to candidates. This is our first touchpoint with potential future hires, and these enhancements can help us put our best foot forward right from the start. To enable, navigate to Maintain Feature Opt-Ins > External Career Site Apply Flow Improvements

Undo Move for Multiple Candidates

Automatically Available

Prior to this update, if candidates were mistakenly moved in bulk, that action had to be undone one by one. And considering how delightfully easy Workday makes it to move candidates en masse, I’m thrilled we finally get an easy reverse.  If this does accidentally occur at your organization, it can now be corrected in minutes rather than hours!   

Candidate Home My Application Redesign

Automatically Available

A lot of focus has always gone into the initial Job Application experience, and rightfully so.  But this update gives the post-application Candidate Home experience some much needed attention. These UX updates increase intuitive navigation and make it easier for candidates to review and act on their application after that initial submission.

View and Review Documents on Candidate Home

Automatically Available

The Candidate Home and post-initial application experience continue to receive attention in this update cycle.  With this update, Workday has made the experience of referring to previously reviewed & submitted document tasks easier to access and more in-line with the job application navigational experience holistically.

Candidate Home Tasks

Automatically Available

With this update, Workday has streamlined the task experience for external candidates who are prompted to take additional action within the job application process after the initial submission of their application.  Instead of navigating to a new screen, candidate tasks will appear in a pop-up window. This is supposed to

Candidate Home Job Alerts

Automatically Available

Workday continues to improve the candidate experience for functionality outside of the initial job application.  This touchpoint is particular to Job Alerts, and follows the theme of pop-ups and side panels instead of new tabs, and actions bundled into a related actions button. All towards making the full candidate experience more accessible and intuitive 

Posting End Date & Time Left to Apply

Automatically Available

Previous default behavior did not give candidates any indication of a deadline when reviewing posted jobs.  This update is aimed to increase transparency and reduce the need for recruiter intervention if a candidate misses a deadline that they did not know about and wants the recruiter to submit on their behalf.

Prospect Consent Collection

Automatically Available

A big emphasis for this cycle has been consistency & injecting intuitive design into candidate-facing elements.  This update is no exception, making PIY submissions a similar experience to the rest of the Workday application experience. This update is unlikely to knock your socks off but if you previously thought the PIY space was a bit clunky, hopefully this helps!

Mappings for Job Application Questions

Automatically Available

This update streamlines the background process for mapping custom questions to delivered questions within a job application.  What used to be a 1 to 1 relationship can now be a 1 to multiple relationship.  We can now accomplish the same goal with fewer custom questions.

Core Connector: Candidate Outbound

Automatically Available

If you’ve felt limited by the available capabilities and data fields within Workday’s Core Connector: Candidate Outbound integration template, this update is for you. Workday has beefed up the information you can include and leverage during launch as well as added to overall default capabilities with configuration options for output location and output file sequence ID.

2024R2 Talent & Performance Updates

Summary Pages

Manager Insights Hub

Setup Required

Up to this point, there were a dozen delivered manager dashboards specific to different functional areas. And the Manager Insights Hub was no different – focusing solely on Talent & Career related items. But no longer! This update moves the Manager Insights Hub closer to one-stop-shopping for Manager tasks, agnostic of functional area.

Manager Insights Hub – Feedback

Automatically Available

Workday has made the Manager Insights hub more holistically useful to Managers this cycle with the inclusion of content outside of Talent & Performance.  But they’ve ALSO made improvements to what presently existed in for Talent & Performance – namely in the realm of feedback.

Hub Navigation Customization

Setup Required

Previous Hub customization options were limited. Workday 2024R2 makes it easier for you to customize the navigation experience of your hubs. This enables you to create your own navigation items and groups with custom labels. You can also use this new feature to group and re-order Workday-delivered and custom navigation items on hubs.

Autosave for Guided Experience

Automatically Available

It’s complicated enough to get review completion without Workday deleting your progress. Workday session timeouts have been the cause of a lot of heartache and lost prose when it comes to employee reviews.  The nature of the form frequently calls for thoughtful comments that take time to draft.  With this update, we will no longer hear of lost work in employee reviews as this autosave feature automatically does what the “Save for Later” button did, now every 90 seconds.

Skill Assessment

Setup Required

Prior to this update, feedback and flex teams were our only recourse for sourcing skill ratings from others. With this new Skills Assessment business process, it’s more intuitive than I found the feedback avenue.  We will only be limited by what security group(s) we include in our business process. Keep an eye on this update, it sounds like Workday intends to release MORE in a batch of 2024R2+ updates.

Suggested Skills for Workers

Automatically Available

This change will give us more control over skill suggestions and make those suggestions easier to track.  Prior to this update, skill suggestions were driven most heavily by machine learning’s dotted-line designation of implicit (related) skills. This was not something we had much ability to influence or explain.  Now, suggestions will come from straight-line sources, if applicable, first.  And these straight-line sources are within our control.

Mass Populate Worker Skills

Setup Required

Relying on individual workers manually adding skills to their worker profile has mixed results. This mass action makes it easier to holistically populate skills on individual workers for your entire workforce.

Development Items, Skills & Mobile

Setup Required

With this update, Workday expands the connective tissue existing between different talent objects.  Previously, we were only able to connect competencies, job profiles, and work experience to development items.  Now, we can include skills and further connect the dots between what we say we are going to develop and how we actually go about doing it.

Goals Redesign Multi-Management of Goals

Setup Required

The only real downside of the Goals User Experience Redesign prior to this update was that we could only create or edit goals one at a time.  Workday has closed the loop there, displaying a Bulk Update button if we intend to act on multiple goals.  If this was a blocker to adoption previously, this Goals Redesign functionality is definitely worth another look.

Goals Redesign for Mobile

Automatically Available

Ideally, the Workday experience would be the exact same on mobile as it is on desktop.  We’re not quite there yet, but this is a wonderful step in that direction if you leverage goals and the Goals User Experience Redesign Changes that came out last cycle (and that I recommend!) goal displays on mobile will be the lovely card layout experienced on desktop.

Organizational Goals Configuration

Automatically Available

A step in the right direction for beefing up configuration options specific to organization goals.  Small but mighty, we now have the option to show or hide org goal descriptions, whereas previously if we didn’t want a description to show, we had to leave it blank.

Feedback Responsive Design

Automatically Available

If leveraged, feedback can be one of the most frequently used talent & performance tasks. As such, it is an important touch-point with your workforce. At a minimum, this UX revamp is nicer to look at. Hopefully, it will  increase the ease of providing feedback.

Development Items in Career Hub

Setup Required

This update brings development item functionality holistically into Career Hub and increases actionability via skills-driven suggestions. Now that skills can be placed on development items, Workday can take those skills to develop and identify Learning Content and Flex Teams that develop those skills.

Career Hub Explore Improvements

Automatically Available

Workday is putting a great deal of effort into Career Hub and the suggestions it generates.  For Career Hub to be a viable and worthwhile career building tool, it’s suggestions should be attainable and contextually relevant to the end-user.  These enhancements relative to the underlying skills and skill interests driving those suggestions is a step towards greater actionability.

Career Path Builder Seniority Filtering

Setup Required

Default behavior in the Career Path Builder doesn’t limit suggestions based on seniority, meaning it could recommend your next step be much higher or much lower than you are positioned presently. To provide more actionable suggestions, Workday has included the option to anchor these suggestions based on Job Level or Management Level.

Flex Teams User Experience

Automatically Available

This UI update for Flex Teams follows a similar pattern to the Goals UI Redesign and is all aimed towards making it easier to staff flex teams.  Previously, the report for managing flex teams had redundant action buttons and the summary view didn’t tell us much.  Now, task buttons have been streamlined and the summary card output tells us what we want to know at a glance.

Flex Teams Without Career Hub or Opportunity Marketplace

Setup Required

Workday appears to be pushing for increased utilization of Flex Teams.  To that end, this update makes flex teams that much more accessible no longer requiring you to access them via Career Hub or Opportunity Marketplace.  Just because you aren’t using CH or OM doesn’t mean you can’t use flex teams.

Flex Teams Web Services

Setup Required

Workday is putting a good bit of effort into Flex Team adoption; it was a theme from 2024R1, and it is a theme for 2024R2.  With any object that has the potential to be quite numerous, end-users will want and need a way to act on flex teams in bulk.  With this update, we get just that; EIBs to create and edit flex teams in bulk.  Immensely preferable to creating and editing one-by-one, which has been an adoption deal-breaker in the past.

2024R2 Learning Updates

Summary Pages

Branding for Learning

Setup Required

Enforce Lesson Sequence in Course

Automatically Available

We have always been able to indicate a lesson order, but not enforce it. Now we have that option to enforce lesson order and block learners from navigating to subsequent lessons until prior lessons are completed.  This is especially impactful if lessons are building off prior lessons, or a final survey is meant to evaluate the course and all it’s lessons holistically.

Program Completion Logic

Automatically Available

Previously, if a learner was enrolled in a program comprised entirely of elements that they had previously completed, the program would auto-complete with a completion date of that day they were enrolled. This was not “technically” accurate and now, in the same situation, will return the completion date of the last completed program item.

Assignments on Learning Content

Automatically Available

Historically, Learning Assignments have been pesky to track down. Learning Assignments result from automation such as retraining, and while they show up for the learner, they don’t show up in all the places learning enrollments do (learning transcript) until the learner takes action on them. These enhancements will make Learning Assignments much easier to keep track of and audit. 

Learning Assignments Reporting

Automatically Available

Now that Workday has updated the Learning Assignment object to follow the rules of role-based (constrained) security assignments, it is possible to report on learning assignments without required organization prompts.  This update increases the accessibility of learning assignments and reduces the tradeoff between enrollments and assignments.

Assignments Security Update

Automatically Available

There is a theme this update cycle of normalizing learning assignments and access to them.  To that end, learning assignments are now accessible by role-based security where previously it was only unconstrained access.  Going forward, Learning Assignment reporting will no longer require data source filters, and the output will only be what end-users have access to based on their role.

Waive Assignments Security Update

Setup Required

Many places in Workday Learning’s security landscape only take user-based and unconstrained security groups, making it difficult to decentralize learning-related tasks & actions.  This update will allow for role-based security groups to waive learning assignments for the cohort they support, lessening the bottleneck of who is able to waive.

Multiple Assessors for Enrollments

Automatically Available

Previously existing tasks that only allowed for single-selection of assessors now allows for multi-select, more accurately representing real-world scenarios and streamlining tasks to be run once on multiple assessors instead of multiple times on single assessors. Mobile access for assessors has been enhanced to be more in line with capabilities they have on desktop

Internal Assessor Management

Setup Required

This update allows for greater control over who can create and/or edit internal learning assessors, as well as the new ability to inject reviews and approvals into this action. This change will also make it easier to report on these events.

Zoom Virtual Classroom Integration

Setup Required

With hybrid & remote roles remaining prevalent, the flexibility of virtual classrooms for course content is an important feature.  This delivered integration with Zoom speeds up and standardizes the process of Zoom virtual classroom creation so we no longer need to (but still can) manually add virtual classroom links.

Extend Indexed Data Sources

Setup Required

I most frequently see the custom data source extension functionality leveraged when a client wants to add a facet filter to a search report that is not presently available.  Workday Learning is rife with delivered search reports, but we were limited in our ability to add custom filter options.  With the inclusion of Learning data sources available for extension we can now add new and custom filters to our search reports.

Skills Import for Skillsoft Percipio

Setup Required

With this update, external learning content can plug in more seamlessly to skills machine learning.  Previously, (and presently for other 3rd party providers), any skill information on that course displays as a tag.  This is misaligned with internal content where skills from skills cloud and maintained skills display, are searchable, and drive skill recommendations & suggestions.

Skills Import for Udemy

Setup Required

With this update, external learning content can plug in more seamlessly to skills machine learning.  Previously, (and presently for other 3rd party providers), any skill information on that course displays as a tag.  This is misaligned with internal content where skills from skills cloud and maintained skills display, are searchable, and drive skill recommendations & suggestions.

Revisiting Recruiting Dispositions

Recruiting Dispositions

Disposition Reasons are a critical and sensitive touch-point between candidates & recruiters. Historically, they could be unruly to deal with.  As a product of Workday’s 2024 R1 updates, Disposition Reasons just got easier in two significant ways; categorization of the list & custom disposition notification creation.

Disposition Categories

This update is going to make it easier for recruiters to find the right disposition reason.  If you have a long list of very specific dispositions in each stage of the job application process, this update is for you.  Workday now allows you to apply a Disposition Category to each of your Disposition reasons, which recruiters can leverage in navigation when attempting to disposition a candidate.

As an added benefit, Disposition Category is now a field we can leverage in summary reporting to help us identify trends without all the noise of dozens of specific disposition reasons.

Disposition Notifications

This update, personally, will get the award for saving me the most time.  Previously, to create unique notifications off specific disposition reasons (EX: Position Closed), we had to create a notification for each Job Application section where it appeared as an option.  So if I get a request for a specific notification to go out to candidates dispositioned when a position is closed, and the disposition reason “Position Closed” appears in Review, Screen, Assessment, Interview, Offer, Background Check, and Reference Check, I will need to create the same notification 7 times off each of those 7 specific triggers.

You can see how this quickly spirals into hundreds of notifications. Now with Workday’s Notification Trigger on Disposition update, this scenario is a thing of the past.  If I need a specific notification for a disposition reason (or several disposition reasons) I only need to create one notification instead of seven. 

The set-up is easier. The maintenance long-term is easier.  But the “old way” of creating them via On Entry > Conclusion > Disposition Reason (Stage) is still available.  The current disposition notifications you may have now are “fine”.  They still work. Because I am a subscriber to the “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it” philosophy, I don’t think updating your existing disposition notifications to this framework is hair-on-fire necessary.  But I do think conversion at some point is worth the effort; this is sure to be a call-out on optimization efforts going forward.

Question? Comment?

What’s Automatically Available in Recruiting 2024 R1?

What’s Automatically Available in Recruiting 2024 R1?

For this go-round, there’s only 1 Automatically Available update in the realm of Recruiting – and the argument could be made that it’s not technically Automatically Available because you have to opt-in via Maintain Feature Opt-Ins in Production.  This update has also been slightly delayed; appearing in preview tenants March 15, 2024 and Production tenants on April 19, 2024.

This update defaults to “on” in your preview tenant but you will have to enable it in Production via the Maintain Feature Opt-Ins task.  The feature you are looking for is titled “External Career Site Apply Flow Improvements.”

External Career Site Job Applications

Without further ado – the 2024 R1 Recruiting Update in question is External Career Site Job Applications.  Workday’s done a smattering of revamping within the External Career Site functionality to make things more intuitive, accessible, and efficient for applicants.  It’s a bit of a bundle-situation; while technically only 1 update, there are several pieces involved. Below, we walk through each of the external career site components that are changing.

Candidate Home Account Creation

This is my favorite component of this update.  If Candidate Home Accounts are required, Workday now includes the task to create a candidate home account within the progress bar of the application.

Errors & Warnings

One of the more noticeable updates of this grouping, the UI for Errors & Alerts has changed slightly.  Instead of appearing on the right-hand rail, they are now bundled into a banner at the top of the section.

Country Default on My Information Page

It’s unlikely I would have noticed this if Workday had not said anything, but Workday has made the Country field defaulting a bit smarter. Previously, this field defaulted based on the primary location of the position if a candidate wasn’t applying with a resume or previous application.  Now, Workday sequentially considers the factors below in it’s auto-population decision:

  • Address provided in any application
  • Country from a candidate’s resume (if applying with a resume)
  • Country from a LinkedIn profile (if applying with LinkedIn)
  • Country based on the candidates browser language setting
  • Job Posting primary location
  • The default country selection within Edit Tenant Setup – System

Questionnaires

If you include questionnaires with branching questions, the load-time here has been improved.  If you include numerical questions in your questionnaires (EX: desired salary), there are no longer numerical limits. Inflation, am I right?

Websites URLs

If you are leveraging this section, your applicants no longer need to include http:// or https:// as a precursor to their website URL.

Social Network URLs

Workday used to default social networks for candidates into new applications even if they selected “Apply Manually.” That auto-population will no longer occur.
