Our ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ Workday Project Vision Statement

ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´'s Workday initiative will increase operational effectiveness and efficiencies, realizing present needs and achieving strategic growth for the greater campus community.

What is Workday?

Workday is a modern, cloud-based system that unifies human resources, financial management, and student information into a single, integrated platform. It combines a wide range of functionality across HCM (Human Capital Management), finance, and student services - all in one place.

As a self-service tool, Workday gives faculty, staff, and students easy, real-time access to the information they need. It streamlines processes, reduces manual work, and supports faster, more strategic decision-making. By adopting Workday, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ will enhance operational efficiency and elevate how we serve our campus community.
