What is the timeline for implementing the Workday software at Yale?

The Workday@Yale Program is a multi-year implementation originally launched in July 2013. The Program completed the Human Resources, Academic, and Payroll Go-Live of Workday functionality on July 1, 2015. The Program is now moving forward with ongoing implementations and optimizations as Yale prepares for its Workday Financial functionality roll-out, scheduled for July 2017. 

How will Yale decide what to change in the new system?

The Program team is facilitating a series of working sessions with representatives from HR, Benefits, Finance, Computing Services and the Yale community (a cross-section of representatives from the academic and business units). Additional subject matter experts (i.e., Recruiting, Legal, ISO, etc.) are providing recommendations as well. The objective of these working sessions is to review Yale’s current operating model across its processes, organizations and technology.

What is our strategy for successful implementation of Workday@Yale?

  • Engage the right people in the right way throughout the Program
  • Participate in Workday’s “Strategic Advisory Program,” in order to advance its direction based on Yale’s best interests
  • Include members of the Yale community in the Program by:
    • Communicating early and often to ensure that Yale faculty and staff are aware of the objectives and implementation status of the Program team, as well as to understand how they can become involved
