What is the primary purpose of "Employee Profiles" in Workday?

The primary purpose of "Employee Profiles" in Workday is to provide a comprehensive view of each employee. This includes detailed information such as personal data, employment history, skills, performance, and development activities. By consolidating this information in one profile, organizations can better manage employee development, succession planning, and performance reviews. This holistic view allows for more informed decision-making and enables managers to better support their employees' growth and career progression.

While managing payroll, monitoring attendance, and tracking benefits are important functions within Workday, these tasks are typically handled through separate modules or features within the broader system. Employee Profiles focus on gathering and displaying comprehensive employee information, which serves as a foundation for many HR processes and strategic planning efforts.
