Workday is now live at the Universities of Wisconsin. This new system will help make finance, human resources and research administration processes more consistent and efficient at all 13 universities. Every UW employee will use Workday for many parts of their job, helping make tasks easier and more connected.
The best way to get started is to explore Workday yourself. Visit the Workday website, where you’ll find a direct link to the system. We hope you will find Workday easy to use and navigate.
