Design smarter. Configure better. Deliver safely.
Why This Matters
Casual academic engagement is one of the most complex, compliance-sensitive, and high-volume processes in higher education. Yet too often, institutions rely on legacy workflows, manual interventions, or misaligned Workday configurations that create risk, inefficiency, and frustration.
Digital Rehab has spent decades helping universities navigate this terrain – blending strategic insight, HR policy expertise, and Workday mastery to deliver solutions that work.
The Playbook: What Great Looks Like
Here’s how we help institutions design, improve, and enhance their Workday configuration for casual academics:
1. Clarify the Operating Model
- Define the engagement lifecycle: from expression of interest to termination – for administration
- Align business rules with policy, compliance, and funding models
- Map stakeholder roles across HR, faculties, finance, and governance
2. Design for Flexibility and Control
- Configure job profiles, compensation plans, and eligibility rules for broadbanded architecture
- Enable scalable approvals and audit trails without over-engineering
- Support multiple engagement types (teaching, research, marking) with clarity
- Understand the interplay between EOI, shortlist, academic workload allocation, master rostering, schedule population into timesheets and catering for allowance eligibility that is not time dependent
3. Streamline the Experience
- Build intuitive dashboards and guided processes for HR teams and academics
- Automate contract generation, declarations, and onboarding steps
- Surface key compliance questions at the right time – not buried in off-system processes
4. Test, Train, and Tune
- Run scenario-based testing across faculties and edge cases
- Deliver tailored training and visual guides for HR and hiring managers
- Monitor adoption and refine configuration post go-live
