• The pace of change at Workday
• Business Processes take a while to settle
and can easily be “over-engineered”
• Security is thorough but has complex
concepts that need to be learnt (ie
intersections)
• Changes to the IT infrastructure

frustrating (ie Workday’s Browser support policy)
• Not enough Asia focused developments

turnover rates by quarter, hires and terminations,
etc.

compensation details to make informed decisions
on compensation offers, promotions, etc.

of status of individuals in objective setting, mid
year and end of year reviews by grade, local
business unit, department, division, performance
rating, etc.
