Solutions Delivery is pleased to announce the Workday 2024R1 Release is scheduled for delivery and installation in production on March 9, 2024.  The newest release boasts virtually 150 new or enhanced features, this release is currently available for testing in our preview tenant.

Most of the release improvements primarily focus on backend improvements to optimize infrastructure, which end users will not immediately notice.

Your Top Apps: The newly-incorporated Your Top Apps section of the home page streamlines access to frequently used tasks and worklets. By showcasing the first four apps from the Global Navigation menu, it facilitates swifter and more convenient navigation.

Worklets Transitioning to Hubs: Workday is transitioning from individualized worklets to consolidated hubs within the global navigation menu. These hubs serve as centralized spaces organized by topic or job function, offering navigation menus, customizable landing pages, and access to internal and external links. Notably, four worklets—Benefits, Pay, Expenses, and Career—are set to retire on March 9, 2024, making way for the Benefits and Pay Hub, Expenses Hub, and Jobs Hub, all available for testing in Preview now.

Announcements: The relocation of the announcements section to the top right of the home page ensures critical messages are more prominently displayed, offering a scroll feature for easy access to additional announcements.

Solutions Delivery is working diligently to integrate these exciting new features, promising to elevate and enrich your Workday experience. For additional information, contact Solutions Delivery or submit a Jira ticket.
