Timeline Update for Workday

Timeline Update for Workday

February 20, 2020

In recent years, UBC has initiated major renewal projects across student administration, human resources (HR) and finance. These projects were aligned under one Integrated Renewal Program (IRP) with the announcement of Workday as the core enterprise software solution.

On February 14, 2020, the UBC Board of Governors approved a new Workday HR and finance launch date of early November 2020, ensuring that UBC has the best possible solution to meet the needs of our faculty, staff and students.

A series of reviews and re-planning sessions have taken place, maintaining focus on critical considerations such as UBC’s academic and financial calendars. This timeline adjustment will allow for sufficient time to deliver support to the UBC community for an effective transition to new ways of working. The timeline extension for HR and finance will have no impact to the ongoing negotiations with Workday regarding the implementation of the student product.

For more information on the timeline extension, including important aspects such as training, please direct your questions through ServiceNow or visit our HR and finance resources and training pages on our website.

Thank you to everyone who has attended an engagement session, provided feedback, completed one of the surveys or attended an IRP event. Your continued collaboration is much appreciated, and critical to the program’s success.
