Set Up Language Preferences for Learning Recommendations

  • Review Setup Considerations for Learner Experience.
  • Ensure all learning content has at least 1 language assigned in the language field. You can use the
    Manage Learning Course
    web service for bulk updates.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Tenant Setup - HCM
    domain in the System functional area.
You can configure Workday Learning to allow learners to set their language preferences for the content displayed in learning recommendations.
  1. (Optional) Access the
    Configure Optional Fields
    task to make the Language field required in learning content. See: Configure Optional Fields.
  2. Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
    task.
    In the Learning section, select the
    Enable Language Preferences
    check box.
After learners specify their preferred languages in the
Learning Preferences
task, Workday displays learning recommendations in those languages within:
  • Career Hub
  • Manager Insights Hub
  • Opportunity Graph
  • These Learning sliders:
    • Based on Your Interests
    • Based on Your Skills to Develop
    • Grow Your Career
    • Most Popular
    • Popular in Your Role
    • Recently Added
    • Recommended for You

Note: When no content is available in a learner's preferred language, Workday doesn't display the corresponding slider. Example: If a learner selects German as their preferred language but no learning content is tagged with German, no recommendations will appear.
These worklets don't take into consideration the learner's preferred language:
