Workday® Implementation Project Management
After a thorough review of your business requirements compared to the Human Resources Information System (HRIS) offerings on the market, you’ve determined Workday® is the right fit for you. Your stakeholders are on board, the contract is signed, and your implementation partner has been selected. You’ve determined which SKUs you want to go-live with, you’ve determined a project kick off date, and a Workday® launch date.
So you’re ready, right? Almost. You’re ready once you have a solid internal project manager secured to run the show - and here’s why:
Take the burden off of your workstream leaders
Your HR team are experts in their fields. From recruiting, to benefits, to payroll, and more, your workstream leaders will not only need to keep their day-to-day operations running smoothly, they will need to do some of the heavy lifting of the Workday® implementation. A solid PM will support your team by keeping them aware of deadlines, acting as a liaison between your team and the implementation partner, mitigating risks, and more.
Keep the main thing the main thing
A skilled project manager doesn’t only keep your team on track for deadlines and consistently communicates status - a skilled project manager understands your priorities, your risk tolerance, and your business processes. They aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and take a first pass at your current deliverable so that you have a first draft to work from. A skilled PM understands the main thing and keeps the bumpers on the journey there.
Guiding you is what they do!
Project managers are trained to build clear roadmaps with defined milestones. They know how to keep multiple balls in the air at once. From monitoring budget versus actual expenses, to communicating with leaders in the C-suite, to training end-users, a skilled PM was built for Workday® implementations!
Why GBC to support your implementation?
Experience
GBC has done this before. We understand the timeline and the pressure of an HRIS project and will bring lessons learned.
Dedication
You will be the focus. Our consultants will not have other clients during your Workday® implementation. We will prioritize getting to know your project team and meeting everyone where they are, getting up to speed on current operations, and understanding future business goals.
Flexibility
GBC will fit into your meeting schedule and your on-site or hybrid work schedule. You will not have to change anything to accommodate us.
Workday® Phase X Project Management
You’re live on some aspects of Workday®, but not all. You’re ready to implement the next SKUs - whether that’s Peakon® (the Workday® Employee Engagement tool), Extend, Time Tracking, Payroll, Recruiting, Learning, or anything and everything in-between. Hire GBC to lead the charge.
Workday® Optimization Project Management
You’re live on Workday®, but your processes aren’t as efficient as you’d like. Maybe you want to fully automate your recruiting process, streamline employee on or offboarding, or improve the benefits administration process. GBC works closely with you to understand your specific needs and business goals. As a liaison between leadership and the Workday® SMEs, GBC provides the guidance and support needed to achieve a high-performing HR function that drives organizational success.
Workday® Extend App Project Management
If you're considering Workday® Extend, you're likely aware that Workday® offers configurability rather than customization.
Should you seek to optimize a specific business process for your organization's unique needs, Extend could be the ideal solution. This is also true if you're looking to integrate a system or process into Workday® that's currently managed externally, particularly when the existing Workday® functionalities don't quite meet your requirements.
At GBC, our expertise in leading the development of multiple Extend apps positions us well to assist in creating a Return on Investment (ROI) analysis to ascertain if an Extend app suits your needs.
For those ready to embark on custom app development with Extend, GBC is equipped to support every phase of the project lifecycle. Our services include vendor selection, gathering design requirements, budget-to-actual tracking, app testing schedules, end-user training, and more, ensuring a seamless and effective implementation.
