Workday Change Management & Training Support

Technology Doesn’t Drive Change – People Do

Whether you’re planning your Workday deployment or already live, Change Management helps turn system adoption into lasting transformation.

From training and communication to stakeholder alignment, we meet you where you are to ensure your people are not just informed but empowered. Your system is only as powerful as the people who use it.

Workday transforms your tech.
Change Management transforms your team.

Our Digital Change Approach to Workday

We drive change strategy and transformative outcomes through hands-on delivery and strategic behavioral management.

Turning Testers into Champions

Project Phase: Testing

Testers weren’t just validating the system—they were early adopters. We built preview sessions and early training materials that empowered them to lead the way and support others at launch.

Field-Based Workforce Strategy

For a frontline population with no corporate email, we built a physical and mobile-friendly training strategy—QR codes, print guides, flyers, and location-based support—to drive real adoption from the floor up.

Job Aids

Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) are concise, easy-to-read documents designed to provide essential information and instructions for completing specific tasks. They serve as handy resources for users to quickly find answers or instructions without needing to sift through detailed manuals or submit questions to support teams. 

Videos

Video aids are instructional videos that visually guide users through specific processes or tasks within a system. These videos show each step in detail, making it easier for users to understand and follow along.

By leveraging video aids, organizations can enhance their training programs, improve user comprehension and engagement, and ensure consistent and accurate execution of processes across their systems.

Communications

An integrated communication strategy builds awareness, explains the reasons behind the change and how it will benefit the organization, fosters engagement and encourages feedback, addresses concerns, and ensures consistent messaging to avoid confusion.

Process Maps

Process maps offer a granular level of detail, capturing each step, decision point, input, output, and stakeholder involved in the process.

Process maps increase business process clarity, pinpoint inefficiencies and areas for improvement, serve as excellent training tools, and facilitate better communication among team members by clearly defining roles and responsibilities.
