Year of Learning: Discover Workday
In 2027, Johns Hopkins will transition to Workday as the new system for completing essential self-service tasks. All faculty and staff will use Workday for activities such as managing personal information, viewing payslips, and performing other routine tasks.
The Sightline program’s Year of Learning initiative is designed to prepare the entire Johns Hopkins community for this transition. Participation in Year of Learning activities offers a valuable opportunity to become familiar with Workday’s features before Workday training begins in early 2027.
