Workday HCM is transforming the way Norfolk State University manages its people. This month, we’re highlighting Manager Self Service (MSS) — a powerful feature that puts essential HR tools directly in the hands of managers.

With MSS, managers will be able to handle approvals, access team data, and support employees more efficiently than ever before. No more waiting on paper forms or chasing down updates — Workday makes it simple, fast, and mobile.

• Real-Time Insights: Access dashboards with workforce data like headcount, turnover, and performance metrics.
• Streamlined Onboarding: Track new hires’ progress and ensure readiness before day one.
• Performance Management: Initiate and complete reviews digitally, with visibility into goals and progress.
• Mobile Access: Approve requests and view team data anytime, anywhere.

• Be a Champion: Share the benefits with your team and encourage adoption.
• Model Behavior: Demonstrate MSS in meetings by approving requests live.
• Give Feedback: Use the feedback channel to report questions or issues.

Workday HCM Implementation Progress Update

We are excited to share that we have 169 days remaining until our Workday HCM system goes live in July 2026! We are currently 53% through the implementation process. Our functional leads are actively conducting end-to-end testing of the system's configuration based on numerous test scenarios to ensure everything operates smoothly.

In parallel, our Change Management team is hard at work developing comprehensive training materials to support all NSU users in effectively navigating Workday HCM. We will keep you updated as the team finalizes its planning and the training resources become available.

The next Readiness Workshop, Manager Self-Service (MSS) - Part 2 will take place on February 12, 2026 at 12:30pm. Contact workday@nsu.edu for more information.
