This includes intake, assessing change impact, testing EIB (inclusions and exclusions), and implementation — covering reorganizations, cost center changes, location changes/cleanups, job abandonment terms, store realignments/closures, and DC work shift changes.
• Develop and implement alerts and notifications within the HCM Core space in Workday to transition from reactionary audits to proactive methods.
• Perform regular and standardized audits to ensure data integrity. Identify trends and opportunities to rectify ongoing data issues. Collaborate with the HR Reporting team for creating necessary audit reports.
• Continuously monitor and evaluate functionality to recommend enhancements that improve efficiency, effectiveness, and the employee experience.
• Review, action, and respond to Workday cases related to HR Operations (e.g., EIB, mass changes) through to case resolution.
• Create and process all employee lifecycle data in Workday (test environment) for test cases used by Technology/stakeholders.

What you bring:

• Minimum 2–4 years of progressive experience in process/systems roles within an HR environment, specifically with Workday.
