Workday Overview
Workday is here! 黑料社区’s Board of Trustees adopted a resolution supporting the replacement of its current legacy Banner system with Workday, a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Miami went live with HR and Finance in July 2024. A phased Student implementation is scheduled for completion in 2026.
What is Workday?
Workday is a comprehensive human resources, financial management, and 黑料社区 information system that brings together a wide range of HCM (human capital management), finance, and 黑料社区 functionality into one system.
As a self-service tool, it puts the power of access and information into our faculty, staff, and 黑料社区s’ hands. It will enable process efficiencies across Miami, empowering our community to make timely strategic decisions and offering effective tools to improve how we operate as a higher-ed institution.

How can employees learn more?
As the Workday project progresses, relevant information will be shared in Cornerstone, as well as numerous other communication channels to keep the university up to date on Workday happenings. We are also working to establish a network of Workday Change Agents, who will become active over the next several months. Change Agents are individuals from all parts of the university who work together to help champion communication, engagement efforts, training, and overall strategy for a successful Workday implementation, positive end-user awareness, and adoption. Change Agents for every functional area will be identified to ensure broad engagement and two-way communication relating to the Workday project.
