A Beginner's Guide to Workday
What is Workday?
Workday is the primary platform to manage your personal information and complete most HR activities and transactions. In Workday you can:
- apply for leave and see leave being taken by team members
- change your contact information
- update your personal information
- view job applications and access the internal Career Site to find jobs and set up job alerts
- view organisational charts and find colleagues across the University.

How do I approve a mid-year review submitted by a staff member?
Once you have had mid-year review discussion and your staff member has submitted their mid-year review plan, you will need to review it in Workday. You can ask up to two other managers to review the plan and you can add your own comments in the comment boxes provided. You can approve the plan or send back to staff to input additional information.
A manager should not make changes to their staff members’ mid-year review. If changes are required, send it back to them to make the amendments. If substantial changes are required, we recommend a further discussion too.
For a video demonstration of this process, please refer to the video at the end of this help article.
