Workday has upgraded several features to maximize the user experience. The changes took effect on September 21 and include the following:
Improved Benefit Elections Experience
Workday improves your experience of managing your benefits with the card framework, providing a quick-glance view that is consistent throughout Benefits. The updated experience is in the Benefit Election tab in the Benefits and Pay Hub and Benefits Menu in the User Profile. Users can click the View as Grid button to see their elections as a grid and to print or download as a spreadsheet.
