HR Acuity + Workday: Secure. Seamless. Built for Employee Relations.

Workday for HR records, and HR Acuity for employee relations and investigations. When routine HR questions and high-risk employee relations issues live in the same ecosystem, but in the right systems, HR works smarter, investigations stay protected and leadership gains clearer insight.

HR Systems Manage Records. ER Manages Risk.

Workday HCM is your HR system of record, and Workday Help is your front door for HR inquiries. But neither is purpose-built to manage highly sensitive employee relations cases and investigations. When employee relations data lives inside Workday:

  • Confidential details may be overexposed
  • Access controls become complicated
  • Investigation nuance is hard to manage
  • Trend visibility gets distorted

You need separation. But you also need synchronization.

Unified, Secure, Purpose-Built:
HR Acuity & Workday

Integrating HR Acuity with Workday creates a secure, seamless end-to-end HR service ecosystem. Here’s how:

  • Workday Help → The single front door for employees
  • Workday HCM → The trusted HR system of record
  • HR Acuity → The purpose-built employee relations and investigations platform

Together, they streamline both routine HR inquiries and complex employee relations cases without compromising privacy, compliance or insight.

An End-to-End HR Ecosystem. Built for Clarity and Control.
