Beyond the Release Notes - Preparing your Workday Tenant for R2 Success

The Workday 2026 R2 release is approaching, but successful organizations know release readiness is about more than testing updates and reviewing release notes.

Join Nordic's Workday practice leaders for a discussion on how healthcare organizations can approach R2 strategically, aligning stakeholders, prioritizing new functionality, reducing risk, and maximizing the value of their Workday investment. 

You'll learn how leading organizations evaluate new features, determine what deserves immediate attention, and create a governance framework that supports both short-term release success and long-term optimization. We'll also share practical guidance for testing critical processes, engaging business leaders beyond HR and IT, and building a roadmap that aligns Workday capabilities with organizational goals. 

Whether you're preparing for R2 or looking to get more from your Workday tenant year-round, you'll leave with actionable strategies for making release cycles more intentional, more efficient, and more valuable.
