New Workday notifications for managers

New notifications added to Workday will flag a variety of HR events for managers.  

Starting April 1, managers will begin receiving notifications in Workday for certain HR events that may require their attention. These notifications will be sent monthly (the first of every month) in order to ensure data accuracy, allowing managers to stay up to date on key HR activities in Workday.
