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.
Below are the current lists of planned enhancements for Workday Finance and Workday HR (HCM) and Payroll.
Upcoming Enhancements
Here are some of the planned enhancements that are currently targeted for completion by June 30, 2024.*
