Workday Open Enrollment Command Center
Getting Your OE Sprint Across the Finish Line
While Workday gives you an Open Enrollment Status Report, benefits partners need more.
Our OE Command Center is a custom dashboard that gives your benefits team complete visibility over all enrollment stages, enrollment trends, and at-risk employees from open to close.
Here’s how we help benefits teams get the most out of it.
Where Workday’s Delivered Reporting Falls Short
Workday delivers a basic foundation for monitoring open enrollment — but it’s just a starting point. Without reporting tailored to the way your organization actually runs, benefits teams lose valuable time manually stitching together data, chasing down edge cases, and auditing by hand.
Here’s where the struggles start:
Fragmented
Visibility
Enrollment status, events on hold, workers on leave, HSA/FSA changes, and EOI triggers all live in separate places — if they’re visible at all during the enrollment window. There’s no single view of where things stand.
Manual Effort
During Crunch Time
When open enrollment is live, your team is fielding calls and chasing late enrollees. Manually pulling and cross-referencing reports during the busiest two weeks of the year creates risk, not reassurance.
The Post-OE Payroll
Guessing Game
The first payroll after open enrollment can be a nail-biter. Without a live reconciliation view, benefit premiums and payroll deductions get compared manually — often after a discrepancy has already hit a paycheck.
Our Approach: One Dashboard. Full Visibility. Total Control.
The Open Enrollment Command Center is a custom-built Workday dashboard — not an out-of-the-box feature — that gives benefits admins a single hub to monitor enrollment progress, track benefits costs, and close with confidence.
Complete Picture in One Place
Every status, visualized. From submitted elections to workers on hold, on leave, or mid-EOI — all accessible from one central hub, broken down by benefit group.
Real-Time Monitoring, Not Retroactive Cleanup
Track elections in flight, HSA/FSA changes, and new hire events as they happen — before you finalize and before issues reach payroll.
Built Around Your Workflow
Every report is customizable. We design the dashboard around what your team monitors, how you escalate, and what leadership asks for at a moment’s notice.
