What to anticipate at go-live

The launch of Workday Financials is scheduled for July 5th, at which point we’ll finally be able to enjoy the many benefits that come along with this modernized system: improved reporting tools, increased efficiencies, consolidation of HR and Finance in one single system, and more! 

To help guide you through this exciting change we have put together a few need-to-know items relating to Workday Financials go-live and all that entails!
  • We’re here to assist you. We know that questions will arise, especially in the early days of processing financial transactions in Workday, and that’s why a team of user success agents are prepared to assist you with whatever Workday Financials support you may need.
