We will update several attribute names in Workday Peakon Employee Voice to align with standard Workday terminology. This alignment provides a more seamless experience and improves data consistency for customers using both Peakon and the broader Workday suite.Posted: 2026-05-06 Updated: 2026-06-10 Release 2026R2

We are renaming key employee attributes across the Peakon dashboard, API, and presentations to match Workday terminology. To ensure a seamless transition, we have added

aliases

for the previous names. Example: Excel uploads using the column header "Separation date" will still successfully import into the new

Termination date

attribute.The renaming only applies to attributes mapped to standards and named

Separation date

or

Start date

. We will not rename:

Attributes not mapped to a standard attribute.
Attributes where you have set a custom name (Example: "
Stop date"
mapped to the
Separation date
standard attribute).

The following naming conventions and attributes are updated in the Peakon user interface and translations:

Start Date
will be
Hire Date
.
Separation Date
will be T
ermination Date
.
Separation Reason
will be
Termination Reason
.
Phrases such as "
after
starting
" or "
before
starting
" will change to "
after
hiring
" or "
before
hiring
."
References to "
leaving
" or "
separation
" will change to "
termination
."
References to "
tenure
" will change to "
hire date
" in specific dashboard contexts.
