Workday Student 5th Anniversary – Part 4 (Student & Worker Documents)

It’s been a busy couple of months! Between collaborating on AI initiatives, the usual start-of-year activities, attending Workday Rising in Las Vegas, and an AI gathering at Denison University, I’ve had my fair share of travel (including a somber trip to Florida for a friend’s funeral). But I’m back and ready to share some insights on how we’re leveraging Workday for document management.

Workday offers a refreshing alternative. With both Worker Documents and Student Documents, we can store important information directly within the system. This functionality allows us to:
