WalkMe for Workday® is a one-stop solution for improving your Workday® training, adoption, and productivity. Today, HR platforms such as Workday® are becoming more critical to organizational health and effectiveness. At the same time, adopting these platforms can be a challenge.  Enterprise tools can be complex and they continually evolve, requiring employers and employees both to evolve with them.

The problem: How can you maximize Workday® productivity and efficiency?

Workday® is a leading HCM system, used by medium and large organizations around the world. It offers a wide range of features for HR, including:
  • Human resource management
  • Employee learning solutions
  • Recruitment and talent management
  • A single system that unifies HCM with finance and payroll
  • Compensation and benefits 
  • Insights and data that can help you improve the entire employee life cycle
Just to name just a few. This complex feature set offers significant advantages for the modern HR department – but only if you take full advantage of them. As with every enterprise-grade digital platform, Workday® comes with a learning curve. Its wide breadth of capabilities is a major strength, but it can also be a barrier to successful employee adoption. The more processes there are to master, the more difficult onboarding can be.  To earn a full return on a Workday® investment, your business must ensure that:
  • Employees are fully engaged and using the platform
  • Workday® features are being adopted and used to their fullest extent
  • Training for Workday® is efficient and effective
What’s the right approach to achieving these objectives?

The solution: Reinventing employee engagement

walkme for workdayTo make full use of powerful tools such as Workday®, businesses must take a new approach. https://twitter.com/WalkMeInc/status/900753322218586113  One that…
  • Engages employees 
  • Simplifies the user experience
  • Decreases the burden on technical support and training
  • Lowers error rates and inefficiencies
  • Increases feature adoption
  • Shortens time-to-competency
Achieving these goals doesn’t require extensive training. In fact, training overload would only increase financial burdens, time spent away from work, and a greater cognitive load. It could also very easily increase user frustration and burnout. Given the complex nature of today’s digital workplace, it is clear that we need another solution. One that offers a seamless employee experience while still delivering the benefits of in-depth training.

How WalkMe enables you to achieve full Workday® adoption

walkmke for workdayDigital Adoption Platforms – or Digital Adoption Solutions – have revolutionized employee training and engagement. These platforms offer substantial training improvements over more traditional techniques, such as in-person demonstrations or lengthy manuals. WalkMe for Workday® provides:
  • In-app, on-demand training. Training is delivered at the moment of need, inside the application. This increases knowledge retention by allowing users to immediately apply what they’ve learned.
  • Step-by-step guidance. Teach users workflows and processes step-by-step, without the need for human intervention.
  • Cross-platform workflows. Digital Adoption Platforms operate on and across any software or app. This allows them to train users across multiple tools, seamlessly stitching together disconnected systems into a single workflow.
  • Automated Workday® training. These features help businesses automate large portions of their employee training. The decreased workload for trainers gives them the opportunity to focus their time on more important tasks.
  • Automated workflows. Some Digital Adoption Platforms, such as WalkMe, can also automate work processes. This is a key benefit of WalkMe for Workday®, as it improves operational efficiency, safeguards data integrity, and frees up employee time for more value-added activities.
  • User analytics and insights. Software usage data can reveal common stumbling blocks and training opportunities. These, in turn, are used to optimize training and engagement.
Compared to traditional training techniques, Digital Adoption Platforms deliver better results in less time at a lower cost.
