Workday and aPay are now live at Federation University after 11 months of design and implementation.   What an incredible milestone for Federation University and our people!     With Workday now live for people and culture processes, we've embraced a modern, mobile-ready platform across the entire employee cycle. Through this implementation, we learned the importance of constantly challenging ourselves to return to the project’s guiding principles. System implementations can be challenging, so we are proud of achieving a successful deployment in an 11-month timeline.    As we reflect, there have been three key success factors for Federation University: ✨Pursue your vision: Encourage innovation and creativity and know your 'why'. This guided our design choices, so each step aligned with our vision of enhancing our employee experience and not just building the old in the new system.  ✨Crawl, walk, run: Embrace the journey of growth. We understood that success was a process, and it was okay to start small. Incremental progress leads to monumental achievements, so we took deliberate steps towards our end goal.  ✨One team: Collaboration between the project, University and implementation partners was at the heart of our success. Operating as one cohesive team was crucial and within the team, every individual played a pivotal role in our transition to Workday and the new payroll system, putting their best foot forward, day in and day out.    As we celebrate this accomplishment, it's important to recognise that the University’s journey is far from over. Federation is now entering a phase of continuous improvement, relentlessly pursuing excellence and refining processes to better serve our people and achieve organisational goals.     A heartfelt thank you to each team member, including our implementation partners Cognizant and Ceridian, for their tireless efforts, resilience, and commitment to excellence. Your passion and expertise have played a pivotal role in bringing Workday and Ceridian aPay to fruition.    #FederationUniversity #WorkdayGoLive #TeamEffort #FutureReady #TeamWork #ContinuousImprovement #SuccessJourney  Tagging my team leads: Sheila Dias, Alan Carmody, Annie Liu, Andrew Henwood, Sean T., Anup John, Fiona Barden, Jarrod Noske, Laura Marshall and Geoff Hutt
