Finance Edition
Reflect and Evaluate:
It's a new year, and with that comes a lot of reporting on performance metrics, people metrics and forecasting for the future. Whether you have other systems in place today for this or not, a new year is always a good time to re-evaluate, so with that I'd invite you to take a look at how we do reporting here at Workday. The link below is a click through of what your experience in our tenant would be.
Let us know what you think!
Happy New Year!
