Effort Certification sees dramatic improvement since Workday launch

Since the launch of Workday in 2020, we’ve been keeping track of the ways our new system has changed how we work at WSU. As a testament to the hard work and perseverance of WSU staff and faculty, we are excited to launch a new Modernization communications series, Workday Success Stories. These stories highlight the measurable improvements made across different functional areas, university-wide.

To kick off this new series, we’re taking a look at how the Effort Certification process has evolved to improve compliance, reduce costs, increase transparency, and promote efficiency. We’ve compared pre-launch data from 2019 with recent reports on Effort Certification from FY22 to provide insight into these improvements.

Read the article to learn how the Effort Certification process has progressed since the switch to Workday, and how we continue to work to improve grants management processes for WSU researchers and administrators.
