Workday Launches COVID-19 Vaccine Management Solution to Enable Organizations to Protect and Support Their Workforce
January 14 2021 - 9:00AM
Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ:WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud
applications for finance and human resources, today announced a
vaccine management solution that provides leaders with the insights
needed to help ensure the health and safety of remote and on-site
workers. As the core HR system for some of the world's largest
organizations, Workday offers a unique ability to combine real-time
HR data with immunization information, providing customers with the
knowledge needed to successfully navigate through the challenges of
COVID-19.
With a customer community representing more than 45 million
workers, Workday is supporting global organizations as they manage
their people and finances throughout the pandemic. The vaccine
management solution expands on the Workday Return to Workplace
offering and helps enable organizations to securely access worker
immunization insight, plan return to workplace scenarios, support
worker well-being, and establish new operating models to adapt as
vaccines become available. In addition, Workday offers customers
configurability to control and securely manage the data and protect
their employees’ privacy.
Helping to Create a Healthier Workforce and Providing a
Safer Workplace The new Workday vaccine management
solution provides global HR and business leaders with the speed,
flexibility, and security to manage vaccine-related initiatives,
specifically enabling customers to:
- Gain Visibility into Overall Workforce Health and
Workplace SafetyWorkday provides a single, centralized
control center to view and quickly respond to potential risks when
speed is critical to keeping employees protected and workplaces
safe. With the availability of new vaccine management dashboards,
organizations can now proactively monitor and manage immunization
dynamics as they relate to their workforce and workplace with new
insights on vaccine availability, vaccination rate, and adherence.
Customers can also track immunization status by infection type, by
job profile, location, region, and worker.
- Plan for Reopening and RecoveryWorkday enables
employers to prepare for the impacts worker vaccination will have
on their workforce and workplace. With scenario planning,
organizations can model office space demands, personal protective
equipment (PPE) needs, and workforce availability. Mapping their
in-person, skilled workforce with vaccine prioritization allows
employers to identify employee groups, such as frontline workers,
that should most urgently receive the vaccine to help ensure a safe
return for all employees.
- Empower and Support the WorkforceWorkday
provides the ability to do employee outreach and communications to
inform, educate, and allow employees to securely and confidentially
self-report immunization information as part of the health
attestation survey. Organizations can then automatically curate
personalized and relevant information to support employees based on
their immunity status. This allows employers to help educate and
assist employees that have not yet been immunized, as well as to
continue to support those with COVID-19.
Additionally, the Workday vaccine management solution supports
specific needs in healthcare and other essential services
industries to help customers streamline complex vaccine reporting
and management. This includes the complexities of single and
multi-dose vaccines, recalls, or even emerging requirements that
can easily be tracked and reported on, enabling site planning,
vaccination scheduling, and compliance.
