The Importance of Testing Talent optimization

All eyes this week at LightWork were on the relatively new Workday Talent Module and some critical mistakes to avoid!

Keep your eyes open for our next case study which focuses on how to facilitate and optimize Workday Talent through lessons learned from a new client who reached out for help in understanding what had gone wrong with their calibration, plotting, business process set-up, default values and duplications!

“Million Dollar Stories” podcast

It’s been a few months ago now that Mike Fallat asked Stephen to appear on his “Million Dollar Stories” podcast to share some invaluable insights and strategies to harness the full power of Workday.

Whether you’re just starting with Workday or looking to optimise your current platform, hopefully you will find this podcast is packed with practical advice and guidance to help you on your Workday journey.

Feel Good Feedback

Following a recent meeting with one of our valued Workday Clients, the global CPO, soon to be changing companies, wanted to leave us some feedback.

To quote, “Thank you for your candour. I think you’ve been an exemplary partner to us. I cannot tell you how many times better than (our S.I. partner) you are and you haven’t yet to find a number that large. But in terms of everything you say, I think that’s going to be really, really helpful.”

That makes happy in the knowledge that we are doing the right thing by our customers and being acknowledged for it is a bonus! We wish them all the best in their new role.
