  • Understanding the Workday implementation scope and key project decisions 
  • Communicating with your departments, colleagues, and peers in alignment with project activities 
  • Learning the benefits of using Workday 
  • Collecting and sharing meaningful feedback from the campus community 

Change Agent Network members contribute to the project by: 

  • Acting as a change advocate and champion for transformation  
  • Participating in a 1-hour monthly meeting: we will keep you informed of how the project is going and ask you where you think we should be targeting our communication efforts 
  • Bringing news of the Workday project back to your departments, colleagues, and peers across the institution: we will provide talking points and targeted communications for the areas you represent and you’ll get early access to demos! 
  • Sharing feedback about the Workday project from your departments, colleagues, and peers: we will ask for your participation in User Readiness Review testing (October 2025), and reviewing how-to guides and change communications (fall 2025 through launch) 

We welcome new members at any point in the project. Nominate yourself or a colleague to join the Workday CAN!
