What is necessary for a worker to be part of a location hierarchy?

For a worker to be included in a location hierarchy, it is essential that they are hired into a location that is part of that specific hierarchy. This means that the organizational structure and employee classification within Workday depend heavily on the specific locations defined within the system. When a worker is assigned to a valid location that is part of an established hierarchy, they are then able to be categorized correctly according to the different layers and structures set by the organization. This location-based categorization impacts reporting, management, and various operational processes within the Workday system.

The other options do not establish the necessary criteria for a worker's inclusion in a location hierarchy. A valid employment contract is important for employment but does not relate directly to location hierarchy. Departmental preferences pertain more to organizational roles within departments rather than geographic or structural locations. Active participation in company events, while beneficial for company culture and employee engagement, has no bearing on whether a worker is considered part of a location hierarchy in Workday.
