Hiring Restrictions in Workday HCM If you’ve worked with Workday’s staffing models, you’ve probably encountered hiring restrictions. What Are Hiring Restrictions? In Workday, hiring restrictions determine: ->Who you can hire (job families, locations, worker types). ->Where they can be hired (supervisory organizations, positions). These restrictions are configured within the Position Management or Job Management staffing models and ensure that your hiring process aligns with your organization’s policies and structures. Common Challenges & How to Deal With Them 1. Mismatch Between Position and Job Profiles: -> Issue: A position may not allow the job profile you want to assign. ->Solution: Double-check the position's hiring restrictions and update them to include the required job family or job profile. 2. Limited Worker Types: ->Issue: Want to hire a contingent worker, but the position doesn’t allow it? ->Solution: Ensure the staffing model allows multiple worker types for flexibility. 3.Geographic Misalignment: ->Issue: Unable to hire a candidate due to location restrictions. ->Solution: Confirm that the supervisory organization includes the candidate’s work location. Pro Tips You Might Not Know: ->Utilize Default Restrictions: Set up broad, default restrictions at higher-level supervisory organizations to reduce repetitive configurations. ->Leverage Temporary Overrides: For urgent hires, temporary changes can be made to restrictions,just ensure they are reverted once the hire is complete. ->Audit Regularly: Use Workday reports to identify misaligned restrictions or unused positions, ensuring your system stays efficient and compliant. ->Combine Restrictions with Security Groups: Align restrictions with security roles to limit who can edit or override hiring rules.

Let’s get one thing straight: HCM technology isn’t just for HR folks anymore.     HCM systems are powerhouses that transform businesses from the inside out—and yes, my fellow data nerds, it’s a playground for us, too!     Here’s how HCM technology is shaking things up:     😀 Employee Experience: The Netflix Effect  Think of HCM systems as the Netflix of employee experience—personalized, intuitive, and oh-so-satisfying. Employees can binge on self-service portals and personalized dashboards, leaving them feeling like the stars of their own workplace series. Keeping them in mind when selecting and designing your HCM. Better yet - involving them in the process will go a long way for adoption. 💹 Data-Driven Decisions: Analytics Overload (In a Good Way)  Gone are the days of HR flying blind. With HCM technology, we’ve got data dashboards that would make even the most seasoned data analyst swoon. Real-time insights into workforce trends and performance? Yes, please! HR, Managers, and Leaders alike can all use these to make better decisions. Time to geek out over those sweet, sweet analytics. 🤝 Cross-Functional Collaboration: The Ultimate Collaborator  Imagine an HCM system as the ultimate collaborator, seamlessly integrating with every department. It’s like the Fire stick or Chromecast of tech solutions—onboarding new hires, managing projects, and keeping everyone in the loop, all without breaking a sweat. 🎩 Talent Management: The Hogwarts Sorting Hat of Business  HCM technology is like having your own digital Sorting Hat, identifying high-potential employees and tailoring development plans that would make even Dumbledore proud. Skills is the hot topic in this area - bound to help managers get creative with how they find talent. It’s magic, but with data (which, let’s be honest, is even better). ⚠ Compliance and Risk Management: The Silent Hero  While compliance isn’t the most glamorous topic, HCM systems handle it like a pro, automating tracking and reporting to keep the legal eagles happy. Think of it as the Clark Kent of your business—quietly saving the day while you focus on more exciting things. ⚖ Scalability: The Elastigirl of Tech  Remember Elastigirl from The Incredibles? That’s your HCM system—flexible, scalable, and ready to adapt as your business grows. Whether you’re expanding globally or managing a remote team, this tech has got your back.     In short, HCM technology is no longer just an HR thing. It’s a business transformation tool that even the most data-obsessed among us can’t help but love. So, let’s embrace the data, the dashboards, and the delightful efficiencies that HCM systems bring to the table, but always remember the people who will ultimately be using it. #HCM #HRTech #DataNerdsUnite #BusinessTransformation #EmployeeExperience #AnalyticsLove #TalentManagement #Payroll #HRTechnology #TechHumor #Willory

Wow! That 2/3 of European employees are requesting paid time off tells me there is a low-hanging fruit in workforce planning if we consider cost control. That less than 1/2 of the requested time off is being approved tells me we might have an opportunity to either upskill people or accept the responsibility for poor workload planning. Either way, when this happens, it's time for managers to get in the tranches and make sure they understand what's happening with the tools, workflows, skills, and workload. The cure starts with awareness. #staffing #workforceplanning #cristinamihai https://lnkd.in/eRMRgGfC

CLARiNET introduces candidate attachment uploads for resumes (in addition to Worker Document uploads). CLARiNET is a Workday command-line interface (CLI) for working with files (Drive, Documents, Photos) and deploying Workday Studio integrations without Workday Studio. When we migrated from our prior ATS to Workday Recruiting, there were thousands of resumes to convert. Luckily I was able to add code to CLARiNET to support resumes. Resume conversion ended up only taking minutes and being a trivial part of the project. There are a few great improvements on this version of CLARiNET: - Updated to .NET 8.0 (supported through 2026) - Added a selector for the commands. Just type `clarinet` and you can select from the list. - Custom Host Names - Yes, you can now use CLARiNET with Extend GMS tenants. Select 'Enter a Custom Host Name' CLARiNET GitHub Project: https://lnkd.in/gMGmdCKM

Understanding Workday Reorganizations Reorganization within Organizations Whether you’re navigating mergers, restructuring teams, or optimizing operations, Workday makes it manageable but how? Reorganization in Workday is more than just moving boxes on an org chart. Using tools like Org Studio, HR teams and managers can collaboratively design and visualize structural changes before making them live. Features like drag-and-drop functionality, multi-stakeholder input, and real-time reporting make the entire process seamless. But there’s more! Did you know you can maintain multiple design drafts and compare their impacts? This allows for strategic decision-making, enabling you to predict and mitigate risks associated with your changes. Some of the hidden gems are: ->Audit Trails: Every change is logged with timestamps and user details. This feature is invaluable for compliance and tracking who made updates. ->Mass Action Events: With Workday’s configuration, bulk changes like reassigning teams or changing reporting lines are automated, reducing manual errors. ->Custom Reports: During reorganizations, you can generate tailored reports to analyze workforce impacts, costs, and resource allocation directly within Org Studio. What People Often Overlook? Security Configurations Ensure the right stakeholders have access to the reorganization tools without compromising sensitive data. Use domain security settings to refine access based on roles. With continuous updates, Workday is focusing on predictive insights. Imagine a future where AI suggests optimal structures based on your workforce data, engagement trends, and business goals. Pro Tip: Before launching a reorg, involve cross-functional leaders early on. This collaborative approach not only brings diverse perspectives but also ensures smoother adoption of changes.

Every company we are talking to right now is going through some TA transformation or replacing some part of their TA tech stack. Smart and proactive budgeting is a critical exercise in this process. But budgeting for TA is a complex and requires balancing the needs of the recruitment process with the broader financial constraints of the organization. According to our latest report with Paradox, TA leaders face more challenges with budgeting than they did a few years ago. •       1 in 2 TA Leaders face challenges this year with getting budgets approved. •       72% of TA Leaders stated that there are more key stakeholders involved in their decisions. •       Only 38% of TA Leaders feel confident in building a business case for technology. •       64% of TA Leaders fear that they will lose budget. •       Less than half of TA Leaders can show ROI. This report is one of my favorites that we have published (I included a link to download in the comments). It sets the stage of a successful TA Transformation journey.

Miro scaled from 300 to 1500+ employees in 18 months. Here are five TA tips from their Head of Tech Recruiting. 👉 TA teams should assess tools for return on investment, making sure they meet the evolving needs of the company. Tools that no longer serve their purpose should be reconsidered to allocate resources more efficiently. 👉 It's important to have adaptable processes and tools as the company scales. What works at one stage may not fit another which is why you have to iterate constantly. 👉 Miro leveraged external resources like freelance recruiters, RPO and placement agencies to hit their hiring goals. 👉 People are likely to want to hire people similar to them but hiring someone opposite brings new ideas and energy to the team which can lead to great results. 👉 Burnout is a real issue across all companies and it should never be ignored. Be transparent about how you're addressing burnout within your company. Do you have any burning questions about Miro's road to 1500+ employees? ⬇️

Carry Over and Override in Workday Time Off What do these features do? ->Carry Over: This functionality allows employees to bring forward unused time off balances (like vacation or PTO) from one period to the next. Perfect for organizations balancing policy compliance with employee satisfaction. ->Override: Enables admins to adjust accruals or balances manually,think of it as your safety net for unique situations like policy updates or one-off adjustments. How to Set It Up? ->Carry Over Rules: Configure them under Time Off Plans in Workday. You can specify limits, conditions (e.g., max days allowed), and expiration rules for carried-over balances. ->Overrides: Access the worker’s Time Off balance in Workday, and use the “override” option for adjustments. It’s great for handling exceptions like retroactive changes or honoring unique agreements. Did you know you can leverage carry-over rules for engagement strategies? For instance, offering enhanced carry-over balances as part of a wellness or retention program can motivate employees to stick around long-term. Similarly, Override can be invaluable in mergers or acquisitions when aligning legacy balances across systems. Pro Tip: ->Use Calculated Fields to automate carry-over eligibility checks, like prorating carry-overs for employees who joined mid-year. Pair this with robust audit trails to maintain compliance while keeping things efficient. Love this workday bite?

One big ERROR companies make in their compensation strategy? One big error companies often make in their compensation strategy is failing to align compensation with the company’s goals and employee performance. Here's why this is a critical misstep: 1. Lack of Strategic Alignment Compensation plans that are disconnected from business objectives result in wasted resources and missed opportunities to drive desired behaviors. For example: Paying flat bonuses across the board, regardless of individual or team contributions, reduces motivation for high performers. Offering perks that don’t align with employee needs or company values (e.g., lavish travel incentives when the company emphasizes sustainability) can erode trust. 2. Key Consequences Low Employee Engagement: Employees may feel undervalued or demotivated if their contributions aren't recognized in the compensation structure. Retention Challenges: High performers are likely to leave for organizations that reward performance effectively. Inefficiency: Companies may overspend on compensation without achieving the productivity, morale, or loyalty they’re aiming for. Equity Issues: A poorly structured plan can unintentionally create disparities, leading to dissatisfaction or even legal challenges. 3. How to Avoid This Error Align Goals and Rewards: Tie bonuses and salary increases to measurable outcomes, such as individual performance, team success, or company profitability. Regularly Reevaluate Strategy: Conduct market benchmarking to ensure competitiveness. Revisit the compensation structure periodically to adapt to changing business goals and employee expectations. Emphasize Transparency and Communication: Make sure employees understand how their performance influences compensation. Address equity and fairness by explaining how pay decisions are made. Leverage Data: Use analytics to track the effectiveness of compensation in driving behaviors like retention, performance, and engagement.
