Commit’s team has experience on every side of the Workday ecosystem – as Implementers, Post Production experts, and Workday customers ourselves. The most important thing to know is: no Implementation goes exactly as planned!
To help you avoid common Workday Implementation issues, we’ve compiled a list of lessons learned by our team.
1. Workbooks
Every project begins by filling out workbooks, well before you understand how Workday actually works.
Expectations
The Implementation Partner will work alongside you to ensure you understand the terminology and implications of these extensive design decisions
Reality
You’ll be making decisions on “Business Objects” and “Segmented Security” before you understand what those terms mean – or what they do

How Commit Helps
2. Training
Workday’s training provides a baseline of knowledge, but doesn’t necessarily prepare you for Go-Live.
Expectations
Your entire team will learn enough to manage and maintain your tenant on Day 1

3. Testing
Testing is the by far the most important part of an Implementation.
Expectations
You will know how to navigate the tenant, execute scenarios, and understand what the outcomes of those testing scenarios should be

4. Attrition
People change jobs all the time – especially during Implementations.
Expectations
Implementing Workday should not have an impact on normal attrition metrics
Reality
What You Can Do
How Commit Helps
No two Workday Implementations look alike.
That’s why our range of support is designed match your unique journey.
Staff Augmentation
Commit provides a dedicated consultant that assimilates into your existing team.
This is helpful for lean teams who will be overloaded during Implementation, or those who need extra support within one (or several) Workday modules.
Client Advocacy
Full-service support where we provide a team + Project Manager to work with you and your Implementation Partner.
Includes assistance on workbooks, test scenarios, training, and advocating for your needs during Implementation.
