Please contribute to the conversation that started online with the following post: <a href="https://community.ele.llc/t/workday-hcm-training/5431">Workday HCM Training? - Operations - Idea Exchange - ELE Group</a>
<blockquote>Hi ELE Community!
I’d be appreciative of learning from anyone who has implemented Workday and how you approached training the organization on the new platform. So many ways to approach this and I’d love to hear from anyone who has done this. Thanks!</blockquote>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-40598" src="https://wp.ele.llc/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DALL·E-2024-03-12-17.47.01-Create-an-image-that-captures-the-essence-of-Elevating-Workday-HCM-Training-with-Innovative-Practices.-Visualize-a-collaborative-and-high-tech-learn-1024x585.webp" alt="Workday HCM Training Roundtable" width="745" height="426" />
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to innovative technologies like Workday HCM to streamline their HR processes and drive operational efficiency. However, successful implementation and adoption of such systems require a collaborative approach that prioritizes user experience and continuous learning.
This insightful session delved into the best practices and innovative strategies for enhancing Workday HCM training and driving sustainable change. Through thought-provoking discussions and real-world experiences shared by industry experts, attendees gained valuable insights into:

<ol class="list-decimal pl-8 space-y-2 -mt-1">
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Simplicity is Key: Keep processes, communication, and training simple rather than overcomplicating things. As <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/anton-maletich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anton Maletich</a> aptly stated, "Don't bring data into your new HCM just because you have the data...Don't put a bunch of data in just because it's going to consume you right validating it."</li>
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Adoption as a Continuous Journey: Recognize that adoption is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Plan for continuous change, enhancements, and building skills over time.</li>
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Engage Stakeholders Early: Don't let it be just an HR/IT project – get business buy-in early by engaging stakeholders and champions across the organization.</li>
</ol>
The session fostered an environment of collaborative learning, where participants shared their experiences, challenges, and innovative approaches to elevating Workday HCM training and driving sustainable change within their organizations. By embracing these key takeaways, attendees left empowered to optimize their Workday HCM implementation, enhance user experience, and drive business growth through continuous learning and innovation.

&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li>Use self-reflection to become your "best self" as you lead yourself and others more effectively</li>
 	<li>Create a "best team" that understands and appreciates what they're doing, and why</li>
 	<li>Forge "best partnerships" through win/win collaboration with vendors and customers that enhance the end user's experience Support the mission, vision, and values of the organization to generate returns that distinguish a "best investment"</li>

Bestselling authors and cohosts of the TED podcast Fixable, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss reinvent the playbook for how to lead change—with a radical approach that moves fast, builds trust, and accelerates excellence.

Speed has gotten a bad name in business, much of it deserved. When Facebook made "Move fast and break things" an informal company motto, it fueled a widely held belief that we can either make progress or take care of people, one or the other. That a certain amount of wreckage is the price we have to pay for inventing the future.

Leadership experts Frances Frei and Anne Morriss argue that this belief is deeply flawed—and that it keeps you from building a great company. Helping executives and entrepreneurs solve their toughest problems over the past decade, Frei and Morriss learned that the trade-off between speed and excellence is false. The best leaders solve hard problems with fierce urgency while making their organizations—employees, customers, and shareholders—even stronger. They move fast and fix things.

Based on their work with fast-moving companies such as Uber, Riot Games, and WeWork, Frei and Morriss reveal the five essential steps to moving fast and fixing things. You'll learn to:
<ul>
 	<li>Identify the real problem holding you back</li>
 	<li>Build and rebuild trust in your company</li>
 	<li>Create a culture where everyone can thrive</li>
 	<li>Communicate powerfully as a leader</li>
 	<li>Go fast by empowering your team</li>
</ul>
With a one-week plan to fix your problems on a fast cycle time of one step per day, this book is your guide to maximizing impact and reinventing your approach to change. By the end of the week, you won't just have a road map for solving your company's toughest problems—you'll already be well on your way, improving your company at exhilarating speed.

What Makes a Great Training Organization reveals the key practices that set top training organizations apart. Backed by data from <a class="HwfnrGwzbVhgqrHJQnWsTubRGppSSZmI " tabindex="0" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/training-industry-inc-/" target="_self" rel="noopener" data-test-app-aware-link="">Training Industry, Inc.</a>, this book offers practical strategies to align L&amp;D with business goals, measure success, and build a culture of continuous learning.

If you're ready to move beyond check-the-box training and drive real impact, this is a must-read.

Learners have changed―radically. Businesses have changed―even more radically. If you're a learning leader, you know your organization must change just as profoundly. You may already be working to lead that change. This book shares best practices that will help you focus your scarce resources on achieving excellence where it matters most today and where it will matter most tomorrow. Doug Harward and Ken Taylor have spent more than 10 years identifying and validating the specific processes and practices associated with outstanding training organization performance. Building on this unprecedented research, they help you define priorities that tightly align with business goals and objectives, choose best practices you can realistically implement, and get results.
Reflecting comprehensive new research, this book identifies eight sets of training processes proven to drive the greatest sustainable performance improvements. Drawing on their pioneering training industry experience, Doug Harward and Ken Taylor drill down into each set of capabilities, helping you build on what you're already doing well, and achieve excellence on the business metrics that matter most. This evidence-based best-practice guide helps you focus your efforts where they will deliver the greatest value, build implementation roadmaps based on the field's hard-earned wisdom, and successfully execute. Reflecting profound insights into today's learners and corporate goals, it will help you excel whether you deliver training internally, purchase services from suppliers, or supply training services to businesses.

Optimize the value of training by focusing on these eight process areas:
<ul>
 	<li>Strategic Alignment: Design learning programs that align with business objectives.</li>
 	<li>Content Development: Assess, design, manage, and maintain content.</li>
 	<li>Delivery: Manage instructor networks and deliver via multiple modalities.</li>
 	<li>Diagnostics: Identify causes of problems and recommend solutions.</li>
 	<li>Reporting &amp; Analysis: Define business metrics, report data, make improvements.</li>
