Workday is a popular Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for human resource management, payroll, and financial management. Workday’s SaaS model offers many benefits, including ease of deployment, scalability, and regular updates.  Nevertheless, Workday is also a complex and robust system that requires specialized knowledge to deploy and maintain effectively.

A health assessment is a comprehensive review of a company’s Workday environment.  It typically includes an audit of security controls, a review of performance metrics, and a check for compliance with industry regulations.  Health assessments can help companies to identify and address potential problems before they cause disruptions or data breaches. 

There are several reasons why companies using Workday should perform regular health assessments.  First, security risks are constantly evolving.  New threats are always emerging, and it’s important to ensure that your Workday environment is protected from the latest threats.  A health assessment can help you to identify any security vulnerabilities that may exist in your environment. 

Second, compliance requirements are constantly evolving.  As regulations are updated, ensuring your Workday environment stays in compliance is essential.  A health assessment can support your compliance team to identify and resolve areas of potential risk within your configurations.  

Third, performance issues can impact your business.  If your Workday environment is not performing well, it can affect or stall your various business operations.  A health assessment can help you to identify and address any configuration and related performance issues that may be impacting your business. 

Finally, health assessments can help you to identify opportunities for improvement.  By reviewing your Workday environment, you may be able to identify areas where you can improve your processes or implement new features.  A health assessment can help you to identify these opportunities and make the most of your Workday investment. 

If you’re using Workday, performing regular health assessments is important.  By doing so, you can help to protect your data, ensure compliance with regulations, improve performance, and identify opportunities for improvement.
