Questions to Consider
Questions | Considerations |
|---|---|
What users do I want to access the hub? | You can give users access to all or part of the Job Architecture Hub, based on their roles.
Workday recommends that you provide complete access to all pages and sections of the hub to users who manage your job architecture. For most organizations, this is a small team that includes HR Partners and Compensation Partners. Workday recommends that you provide partial access to users who benefit from specific insights. Example: You provide your Talent Partners access to the Overview page, and these pages in the Skills Analytics section: Workday Market Skills, Supply and Demand. You don’t give them access to the Job Profile Analysis and Job Profile Reports sections. See Reference: Job Architecture Hub . |
Can I customize the Job Architecture Hub? | Yes. You can customize the Job Architecture Hub, such as by:
