Concept: Workday Everywhere
You can enable your workers to perform self-service Workday tasks directly from their Slack or Microsoft Teams workspaces without opening Workday in a web browser. Workers can view the capabilities available to them in Workday for Microsoft Teams and Workday for Slack by clicking
Explore all
under My Quick Actions
.Workday recommends that you enable Workday Assistant. When you enable Workday Assistant capabilities on the
Edit Tenant Setup - Assistant
task, you also enable most Assistant capabilities in your Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces.You can use Workday for Microsoft Teams and Workday for Slack in these languages:
- English
- French (Canada)
- French (continental)
- German
- Japanese
- Korean
- Spanish
Workday Everywhere defaults to English unless workers select their preferred language in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Example: When a user selects French as their preferred language in Workday but doesn't select a preferred language in Microsoft Teams, we send them a Teams welcome message in English.
Workday delivers new capabilities in English, and provides translations for those capabilities as soon as possible. Workers who select a non-English preferred language might not be able to access some capabilities immediately.
Security
You can access actions and information in your workspace that you'd have access to in Workday. Example: Managers can use Workday Everywhere to access performance reviews for their team, while workers can only access their own reviews.
You can only connect:
- A production instance of Microsoft Teams or Slack to your Workday tenant.
- Slack or Microsoft Teams to your tenant if you're a worker. Contingent workers can't set up Workday Everywhere for their organization.
If the person who installs Workday for Microsoft Teams or Workday for Slack leaves your organization, someone else must have access to the
Manage: Innovation Services
security domain to maintain feature and user permissions.Capabilities
Workday recommends that you also set up Workday Assistant to enable most Assistant capabilities in your Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces. For a full list of Assistant capabilities, see Reference: Edit Tenant Setup - Assistant. Workday might take up to 24 hours to apply changes on the
Edit Tenant Setup - Assistant
task to Workday for Microsoft Teams and Workday for Slack.When you don't set up Workday Assistant, workers can still access these capabilities in their Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces:
- Access their My Tasks.
- Enter expenses.
- Give feedback.
- Look up coworkers.
- Request interview feedback.
- View their payslip information.
Workday for Microsoft Teams and Workday for Slack don't support Custom Help Contact, even when you configure it in Workday Assistant.
For more information, see Workday for Microsoft Teams and Slack Product Capabilities.
Notifications
Workday occasionally delivers ad hoc Microsoft Teams or Slack notifications to highlight capabilities and help workers connect. We also notify Workday Everywhere administrators when we release new or updated features.
You can configure the
Set Up Notifications for Workday Everywhere
task to enable Workday to deliver specific notifications to workers' Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces for:
- Anytime feedback: Notify everyone the feedback is shared with when workers receive feedback. Example: the recipient and their manager, unless the feedback is confidential or private.
- Case Management: Notify workers when someone replies to their open Help cases.
- Learning: Notify managers to approve new Learning enrollments for their workers.
- Time off: Notify managers to approve new or corrected time off requests for their workers.
