The System
On this page:A modern HRMS|Workday: A Cloud Solution|Data Security
A modern Human Resources Management System (HRMS)
Workday is theweb-based system used for human resources management at ۲ݮƵ. Itintegratesa broad range of processes including hiring, personal information management, payroll management and much more. It provides astate-of-the-arttechnologycapable of supporting ۲ݮƵ's needs, well into the future.
Workday is recognized as thepremierpersonnel management softwarein higher education. Major North American universities including many AAU institutions such as Brown, Yale, Cornell, Georgia Tech, NYU, Penn State, Texas A&M, Ohio State, University of Southern California, University of Washington, Chicagohave successfully implemented this system. UBC is also currently implementing the full Workday suite (HCM, Finance and Student). From the start of the project, ۲ݮƵ conducted a benchmark analysis with several of these universities and will continue to benefit from the lessons learned and best practices of these peer institutions.
This HRMS enables ۲ݮƵ to:
- Automatethe employee management processes;
- Work towardsimplifying and standardizingprocedures;
- Accesstoreal-time dataon the University's workforce;
- Make moretimelyinformedstrategic choices;
- Continue to have wellintegratedsoftware solutions (central IT systems, external systems and local applications).
Workday: A Cloud Solution
Workday is a cloud solution, also called "Software as a service"(SaaS), selected as the best choice in terms of software quality and infrastructure sustainability:
- A cloud solution is owned, delivered and managed by the provider. ۲ݮƵpays for the service, not for the license.
- To ensure evolving best practices, the features are the same for all customers. There can be some configuration exceptions as per ۲ݮƵ's needs.
- Updates are frequent and easier to manage than with our in-house systems.
- Data can be accessed from anywhere via internetusing tablets, laptops, or desktops.
- Satisfies all local security & regulatory compliance requirements.
Data Security
In the context of selecting and implementing Workday, ۲ݮƵ ensured that :
- For the duration of the contract with Workday, personal information will be hosted in its data centers located in the European Economic Area. It is generally recognized that countries in the European Economic Area offer protection equivalent to that afforded under Quebec privacy laws;
- The cloud vendor and hosting services implemented were independently verified to ensure conformity to leading cyber security best practices;
- The configuration of the Workday solution leveraged new security measures that improved the cyber-security posture of employees’ data compared to our previous system.
Benefits of Workday
On this page: Employees | Managers | HR & AA Professionals| Retirees
Workday’s main benefits for employees, Managers,Human Resources and Academic Affairs Professionals and Retirees are:
Employees
One of the main benefits of Workday is its rich self-service functionality. All ۲ݮƵ employees now have access to their own Workday account, where they can update their personal information, make benefits elections, enter time, request absences, review pay stubs, explore career opportunities, etc.
Managers
In Workday, all employees who supervise a direct report hold the role of Manager. They benefit from:
- An increased ability to initiate processes related to recruitment, compensation and job changes;
- Aggregated visibility on their team’s information, including worked hours and time off balances, allowing for better informed decisions.
HR and Academic Affairs Professionals
Workday simplifies personnel management processes, while reducing manual processing and decreasing the risk of errors.
HR and Academic Affairs Professionals greatly benefit from:
- Simple request functionalities allowing processes to be initiated in just a few simple clicks;
- Built-in eligibility rules allowing employees to be provided only with what they are eligible for according to their job profile and employee type;
