Steps: Set Up Job History

Set up the
Manage Job History
business process so that workers, academic affiliates, and students can add their previous or current jobs on their talent profiles. If you want Workday to initiate job history changes during staffing events, you can configure the
Manage Job History (Sub Process)
action step on these staffing business processes:
  • Add Additional Job
  • Change Job
  • Hire
  • Title Change
  1. Set up security for the
    Manage Job History
    business process policy.
    (Optional) Assign security groups to the
    Manage Job History (Sub Process)
    action step.
  2. Activate Pending Security Policy Changes.
  3. Edit Business Processes.
    Set up the
    Manage Job History
    business process.
    (Optional) Add the
    Manage Job History (Sub Process)
    action step after the completion step of any of these business processes:
    • Add Additional Job
    • Change Job
    • Hire
    • Title Change
  4. Create a library of companies for users to add on their job history.
  5. (Optional) Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
    task.
    On the
    Default Job History Company
    prompt in the
    Talent
    section, select a company that Workday populates during the
    Manage Job History (Sub Process)
    step.
    Security:
    Set Up: Tenant Setup - HCM
    domain in the System functional area.
  6. Configure the
    Job History
    report on any of these profile groups:
    • Career for Worker Profile
    • Overview for Academic Affiliate Profile
    • Overview for Worker Profile
    • Performance for Worker Profile
    • Portfolio for Student
    See Steps: Set Up Profiles and Profile Groups.
If you configure
Manage Job History (Sub Process)
as a step of a staffing business process, Workday updates a worker's job history to include the new job. During the subprocess, Workday populates these fields based on a worker's new job details and a default job history company if you selected one:
  • Company
  • Job Title
  • Location
  • Start Date
