What is Workday?

Workday is a comprehensive human resources, financial management, and student information system that brings together a wide range of HCM (human capital management), finance, and student functionality into one system.

As a self-service tool, it puts the power of access and information into our faculty, staff, and students’ 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.
