Workday, the new Universities of Wisconsin cloud-based software platform that brings together data about people, finances, and operations, will launch on July 7, 2025. All UW–Madison faculty and staff will use Workday for employee self-service tasks and everyone is encouraged to complete Workday training.

You do not need to enroll to take the training. You will find Workday Fundamentals: Workday for All Employees in your Universities of Wisconsin instance of Canvas. The course is self-paced and takes about 40-50 minutes to complete. You may pause the training at any time and resume later where you left off. For employees who do not use a computer in their work, in-person training is available.

For additional information about Workday training, additional resources, answers to frequently asked questions, and more, visit atpmadison.wisc.edu.

Workday goes live at the Universities of Wisconsin on July 7. Along with new tools and processes comes a reminder about added vigilance to avoid phishing attacks. We expect to be targeted by phishing attacks as we implement this new system, and we are counting on all employees to help keep UW secure by detecting and reporting phishing attempts.

You can protect your personal data and protect sensitive data within the system by recognizing phishing red flags and using cybersecurity best practices. If you receive a suspicious email or text message that is related to Workday, do not reply or click on links. Report the suspicious email via Outlook or forward the suspicious message to report-spam@doit.wisc.edu. Remember that security is a shared responsibility, and vigilance is key in combating cyber threats.
