Integrate & Sync WorkBoard OKRs with Workday Goals

Workday Goals and WorkBoard are powerful tools designed to help organizations streamline and achieve their objectives and key results (OKRs). By integrating these two systems, HR Admins can ensure that personal and team goals are consistently aligned across platforms, providing a seamless experience for performance reviews and progress tracking. This integration offers significant benefits by keeping the two systems in sync, thereby allowing WorkBoard OKRs to be readily available for Workday Performance Reviews. Both solutions support the concept of "Personal" and "Team" Goals/OKRs, enhancing the clarity and alignment of organizational goals.

Syncing WorkBoard Personal OKRs to Workday Personal Goals & Milestones

This integration enables the automated syncing of WorkBoard Personal OKRs to Workday Personal Goals and Milestones. Follow these steps to set up the integration:

  2. HR Admin Defines the Cutoff % Progress Values
    - Within the integration settings, define the cutoff percentage progress values that will map to the Workday Goal Completion Statuses.
    - Ensure these values are aligned with the completion statuses configured in your Workday environment (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Completed).

  3. HR Admin Defines the Time Period(s) for Eligible OKRs
    - Specify the time periods for which OKRs should be eligible for syncing.
    - This can be set based on quarterly, bi-annual, or annual periods, depending on your organizational time period configuration in WorkBoard.

  4. WorkBoard Syncs Goals Nightly
    - Once the setup is complete, WorkBoard will automatically sync the goals every night.
    - The Personal Objectives and Key Results in WorkBoard will be mirrored as Personal Goals and Milestones in Workday.

Details of the Syncing Process:

WorkBoard Personal Objective to Workday Personal Goal
- A Personal Objective created in WorkBoard is mirrored as a Personal Goal in Workday.

WorkBoard Personal Key Results to Workday Milestones
- Key Results associated with a WorkBoard Personal Objective are mirrored as Milestones under the corresponding Workday Personal Goal.

This synchronization ensures that individual contributions and progress are accurately reflected in both systems, facilitating better performance tracking and review processes.
