Training Overview

As a guiding principle of Encompass, we are committed to ensuring that every employee is well-prepared for the transition to Workday and Banner. We are developing a comprehensive training plan designed to be timely, engaging, and empowering, so you have the knowledgee to succeed.

How You'll Be Trained

  • Job Aids: Step-by-step guides with screenshots to walk you through specific processes
  • Tip Sheets: Quick reference guides that explain key concepts and terms
  • How-To Videos: Short demonstrations of specific tasks or processes
  • Computer-Based Courses: Self-paced learning modules
  • Live Webinars: Virtual instructor-led demonstrations and Q&As (recordings available)
  • Instructor-led Training: In-person sessions with live demonstrations and hands-on practice

When You'll Be Trained

  • Workday: Training begins in October 2025 and will continue through the rest of the year. Ongoing training and support will be available after Workday goes live on January 2, 2026.
  • Banner: Details are still in development. Expect training to coincide with the phased go-live dates.

As we approach go-live dates for Workday and Banner, check back often for updates and specific training schedules.

Our Training Approach

Our training philosophy is based on the following principles to ensure each member of our community receives the right information at the right time to confidently perform tasks in Workday and Banner.

Adopting a strategy known as "Just In Time" training, we will deliver training sessions close to go-live dates, ensuring that the information is both relevant and easily retained by participants.

This approach is designed to maximize the effectiveness of training and to help employees feel confident and competent as they begin using the systems.

Initial training will prioritize the tasks you perform most frequently. You’ll gain just enough knowledge to be successful at go-live and be provided further training opportunities to expand your understanding of Workday and Banner.

This helps to ensure you first lay a solid foundation for future learning.

Training assignments will be tailored based on your job role, responsibilities, and security access. You’ll receive clear guidance on what to take and when.

Post Go-Live Support Structure

Understanding that questions and challenges will arise as employees begin to use Workday and Banner, we are also developing a robust post-go-live support structure.

This will ensure that employees know where to turn for assistance and guidance, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment throughout the transition.

We will provide more information as it becomes available.
