• Run periodic system audits, review and distribute to users for corrections.

HRIS Analysis and Maintenance:

• Analyze Workday modules such as Core HCM, Compensation, Recruiting, Talent & Performance, Time Tracking, Benefits and Payroll and make recommendations for improvements.

• Design, build, and test business processes, notifications, condition rules, calculated fields custom notifications, help text, and other system enablement activities. 

• Execute the implementation of new Workday features, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.

• Identify patterns in system or process issues and recommend solutions.

Data Management:

• Ensure data accuracy and integrity through regular audits and reconciliations
