Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

Workday HCM makes more sense when its modules, screens and HR processes form one connected picture.

Ten lessons pair step-by-step screen walkthroughs with 110+ practical tools: 10 HTML files containing 100 editable working parts.

One colleague knows how to submit an absence request. Another knows how to open a worker profile. A recruiter knows the vacancy route. Yet the connection between a worker, a position, an assigned task and a report can remain unclear. A missing task or a different headcount then becomes difficult to explain.

The course follows the system from its HCM foundation through the employee lifecycle. Each lesson combines a module overview, Workday terms, process diagrams, sourced screen walkthroughs and a supporting working file. The same fictional Harborline Group scenario follows Daniel Reyes, manager Maya Chen and their HR colleagues across modules. Its people, business records and numbers are invented for learning.

Mike is an HR leader and educator with 20 years in HR and experience at Wargaming, Preply and iDeals. He holds PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications. Here, he explains Workday through public product information, documentation and client job aids; he does not claim experience as a Workday user, consultant or tenant configurator.

What the tool count includes

  • 10 standalone HTML working files: Module Map and Navigation Guide, Organization and Staffing Model, Business process map, Recruiting route.
  • 100 editable parts inside those files: Organizations, Job change comparison, Balance ledger, Pay comparison and calculators, Dashboard brief.
  • 20 downloadable resources across the lectures: ten PDF presentations and ten HTML files, including HR operation sheets, Compensation Package Sheet, Payroll and Report Request, Workday Preparation Plan.

The 110-tool count adds ten working files and their hundred distinct editable parts. It does not mean 110 separate downloads. Repeated slide demonstrations, save/print functions and conceptual models are not added again. Calculations such as FTE, compa-ratio and range penetration belong to the existing working parts.

The route through the system and its working files

  • Navigation and Core HCM: a module map, glossary, navigation guide and organization/staffing model connect Home, Search, worker profiles, organizations and positions.
  • Business Processes and Recruiting: a process map and recruiting route connect assigned steps, approvals, access roles, requisitions, applications and offers.
  • Hiring, Onboarding and time away: HR operation sheets and absence/time sheets connect hire, job changes, onboarding tasks, absence balances and worked time.
  • Compensation, Benefits and development: a compensation package sheet and performance/learning guide connect pay ranges, enrollment events, goals, reviews and learning.
  • Workday Payroll, Reports and Implementation: a payroll/report request and ninety-day preparation plan connect reporting scope, system support, roles and learning routes.

This Workday training approach explains Workday HR processes through course-built mockup screens reconstructed from public client job aids. Real screens, fields, available modules and approval steps can differ by company. Only sourced screens are rebuilt; other topics use diagrams. No Workday account, live tenant or hands-on production access is included.

Tenant configuration, security setup, business process configuration, calculated fields and integration execution are outside the scope. Implementation and integrations are explained by purpose. The course excludes country-specific payroll calculations, taxes, employment-law advice and HR methodology. It does not prepare for Workday certification or promise a job, salary, implementation budget or project duration. AI agents appear only in one descriptive block of lesson 10, using vendor-named functions without demonstrations.
