Looking Ahead: Workday Learning pilot
Shared by Mindy Kornberg, vice president for UW Human Resources, with University leaders and the HR Community of Practice on Aug. 20, 2025.
As we bring Workday Recruiting online, our next focus is the Workday Learning pilot. We’ll take the same playbook that got us here—tight UWHR–UW-IT partnership, clear roles (UWHR as business owner; UW-IT as technical owner), disciplined governance, and centralized communications—and apply it to Learning.
What’s in scope: one required online course—the Civil Rights (Title VI) UW Employee Training—developed with the Civil Rights Compliance Office (CRC) and delivered, tracked, and reported in Workday Learning as our enterprise learning management system. We are targeting a soft launch of the module in December and course launch in January 2026, with a completion deadline aligned to federal requirements.

Just as with Recruiting, success depends on strong cross-campus partnership and steady change management. Thank you to our UW-IT partners and CRC for leading with us.
As I step into retirement, I do so with confidence knowing this project is in capable hands. Heather Horn, your incoming Vice President for Human Resources, will provide the next update in October and carry this important work forward.
