Workday in Action
If you get a paycheck from WVU, you’ll be using Workday. The new HR and finance system launching in the summer of 2027 will touch every employee working in every location, simplifying and streamlining how we do business. To help you prepare for the changes ahead, the Modernization Program is hosting a monthly demonstration and discussion series, Workday in Action. You’ll get the opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and experience Workday in action!

Registrants will receive the link to the recording sent to their email. Additionally, it will be posted here.
*The Workday in Action series is intended as a first look at the new system. Formal training will begin in early 2027.
