Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Workday Learning
Basics of Workday Learning
- Why did we select Workday Learning?
- Workday Learning allows us to leverage the power of one system (Workday) with enhanced search capabilities. The system provides managers with the ability to view employee transcripts, assign learning and see progress on trainings completed. Individuals can now enroll, disenroll and create their own learning plans. Other learning management systems did not have all the functionality that we require to support and drive the future of learning at Ciena.
