Announcements

Workday Training is now available for all faculty and staff

Workday will go live for Universities of Wisconsin (UW) universities in July. Workday will standardize and modernize our Human Resources, Finance, Purchasing, and Research Administration business processes across the UW. Additionally, all UW employees will use Workday to manage their employment information.

Training resources now available for all employees and managers
While not required, UW-Whitewater employees are encouraged to complete Workday training to learn how to access pay slips, enter time and absence, and update personal employment information. The courses for all employees and managers are self-paced and take 40-50 minutes to complete.

Accessing training
You do not need to enroll in the fundamentals training courses. You will find Workday Fundamentals: Workday for All Employees in Canvas. You will learn how to navigate your home page, view and edit information, and learn the difference between My Tasks and Notifications.

Supervisors and managers
In addition to Workday for All Employees, you will find Workday Fundamentals: Workday for Managers in Canvas. You will learn how to use the My Team Management Dashboard, the Time and Scheduling Hub, and more to manage tasks for your team.

Expense reports and credit cards
If you submit or approve expense reports, or use a university-issued credit card, two courses are recommended. Please go to the Course Catalog Employee section on the Workday website, click on “Enroll in Course,” and follow the next steps for these two courses (or use the direct links also below):

• Expense Reports and Credit Cards in Workday Part 1
• Expense Reports and Credit Cards in Workday Part 2

Future training and resources
Training for human resources, finance, purchasing, and research administrators, as well as new faculty and staff, will be offered again in August and October. More information to come as those dates approach.

Workday website
To help prepare you for the transition to Workday, a Workday website has been developed with resources including the course catalog, curriculum guides, recorded training sessions, the job aid library, news and announcements, and the support portal, which will assist when Workday goes live. 

Workday Training Tenant
The Workday Training Tenant is available and can be used in partnership with the Canvas courses, Webinars, or In-person Workday trainings. You will log in using the Single Sign On option with your UWW Net-ID and password. Note: Canvas courses and Webinars can be completed without using the Workday Training Tenant.

We encourage you to complete your training to familiarize yourself with Workday. Your efforts will help set us up for a smooth and successful transition to the new system. Thank you for your commitment!
