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.

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

Workday Peakon delivers a new information icon and disclaimer on the survey landing page to inform users about the use of machine translation for a number of non-English languages. We also update the user Profile page to include these translation details under the language settings.

This enhancement helps you comply with transparency requirements by clearly setting expectations for users regarding translations.

We add a new

information ('i')

icon immediately beside the language selector on the survey landing page for both desktop and mobile devices. When users hover over or click the icon, this new disclaimer appears: "Languages other than English may be provided via machine translation. Refer to the Help Centre for more information.".

Additionally, we update the

Profile

page to include this string under the

Languages and time zones

section.
