The ISC continually updates Workday to align with UBC's evolving needs, incorporating community feedback and collaborating with different units, faculties and departments. Working with UBC Finance, Central HR and Payroll Operations, we make changes to deliver value to UBC as well as the faculty, staff and student employees who use Workday.
What are enhancements
Workday enhancements include new components or tools in Workday, such as a new feature within an application or component we already use, or an optimization of a current Workday feature.
How enhancements are prioritized
Enhancements are prioritized by the relevant operational owner (e.g. UBC Finance, Central HR, Payroll Operations) and the ISC supports them in evaluating and implementing these changes to align with UBC’s strategic priorities and operational activities.
Please note: As of December 9, 2023, the ISC will be focusing on supporting a successful Launch 2 for Workday Student in February 2024. This means fewer enhancements than usual will be completed from now until March 2024.
Workday HR (HCM), Finance and Payroll updates that are critical to university operations, have a high impact, or are needed to meet regulatory requirements will continue to be made.
UBC faculty and staff can continue to submit suggestions for future enhancements using the general Workday support form and can see the current lists of planned enhancements for Workday Finance, Workday HR (HCM) and Payroll on SharePoint (CWL required).
Note: Enhancement suggestions for Workday Student can be sent to questions.irpstudent@ubc.ca.
