Workday HCM is transforming how we manage HR at Norfolk State University. This month, we’re focusing on Employee Self Service (ESS) — a feature designed to give every Spartan direct control over their HR information.

With ESS, employees can handle routine updates directly, making the process faster and more convenient. Instead, you’ll have secure, real-time access to your own data and services, right at your fingertips.
