You’ve got a whole lotta data in Workday, right? You’re sitting on a goldmine of insight into your workforce and organization. However…

🥵 Prevent burnout by notifying managers when their employees haven’t taken a vacation in a while.

🚩 Keep your tenant tidy and compliant by flagging incorrectly named custom reports, calc fields, etc., for cleanup.

🥳 Boost morale by telling employees when their teammates have a birthday or work anniversary coming up.

Thanks to the flexibility of custom reports, the use cases for alerts are truly endless.
