Workday News April 2026 e-newsletter

Welcome to the April 2026 edition of our Workday monthly e-newsletter, your source for updates and insights about Dickinsons transition to Workday.

Workdays March update is now live! These twice-yearly updates happen automatically in March and September, and continue to bring improvements to features, security, and overall usability. The project team reviewed and tested changes in advance to keep things running smoothly. The most noticeable change this round is the updated navigation in the Web view and the mobile app. The new pinned sidebar keeps your apps and tasks visible, making it quicker and easier to get where you need to go.

As Workday continues to evolve, were also continuing to support the campus through Workday Wednesdays. Based on the positive feedback weve received, these informal, drop-in sessions will continue throughout the spring. Whether you have a quick question or need help with a task, stop by for assistance. See the dates included in the full version of the newsletter (click the more information link) or check EngageD for upcoming dates, times, and locations.

Looking ahead, the next big milestone is the launch of Workday Adaptive Planning in May. Adaptive Planning is Workdays budgeting and forecasting tool, designed to make it easier to plan, model scenarios, and manage budgets in a more flexible and collaborative way. Our Technology Transformation also includes the addition of Prism, an internal tool to support operations with analytics and reporting, which will enhance our current data capabilities in Workday.

During the fall semester, we will begin to plan, develop and build the Student tenant as part of Workday phase 2, with an ultimate go-live goal for Student in 2028. To explore what happens in these next phases of Workday, please visit the Workday Project Website.
