The Team

The Deloitte Workday team provides the full range of services for clients from the initial planning stages, through full system implementation to on-going support.

• Execute unit testing, regression testing, smoke testing, and business process validation; document results and support defect resolution.
• Learn and support data loads and mass updates using Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB), with appropriate validation and reconciliation.

3. Data, Release & Migration Support:

• Validate worker, organization, and configuration data across source HR ERP systems and Workday during learning, testing, migration, or support activities.
• Support mapping, cleansing, reconciliation, and validation of HR data for Workday‑related activities.
• Participate in Workday release impact analysis, regression testing, tenant migration, smoke testing and post‑deployment validation.
• Maintain test evidence, configuration workbooks, data‑validation records, and other project or support documentation.

4. Cross‑Functional Support & Operational Governance:

• Collaborate with HR functional teams such as Payroll, Benefits, Compensation, Absence, Time Tracking, Recruiting, Security, Reporting, and Integrations to understand end‑to‑end process dependencies.
• Use prior HR ERP knowledge to identify upstream and downstream impacts and support issue triage across functional areas.
• Participate in incident reviews, backlog discussions, enhancement planning, knowledge transfer sessions, and operational governance meetings.
