Workday

One definition of a position across Finance, HR and Recruiting, live on day one

Three teams were heading into a 16-country Workday implementation with three definitions of a position and no owner for each step. We ran the position management workstream alongside the build: common definitions, a RACI, guardrails in Workday, real-time position data to Finance, and lifecycle rules from hire to retire.

Finance
Position data as it changes, not at month end.
HR and HRIS
The definition written into the tenant, with a RACI behind it.
Recruiting
Every requisition opens against a funded position.

Outcomes

Named owners for every step of headcount and position management
Guardrails in Workday, understood across all three functions
Real-time position data to Finance, no standing reconciliation

Position management that grew into end-to-end headcount planning

A position management transformation in Workday grew, once Finance, BizOps and HR were in one room, into the whole planning cycle. We run the program end to end: the framework, change management on the ADKAR model, a temporary team in key roles, integrations between the planning system and Workday, and a steering committee that keeps decisions moving.

Finance
One method across 40+ analysts, fed from Workday.
HR and HRIS
The position in the tenant as the foundation the plan stands on.
Recruiting
Requisitions that open from a planned, funded seat.

Outcomes so far

One headcount planning process across Finance, BizOps and HR
40+ FP&A analysts moving from individual spreadsheets to one standard
A steering committee where decisions and escalations get settled

Workday

The controls a scaling company needs on every position

Growth is demanding more rigor on positions and cross-functional controls on headcount. We are in discovery, mapping how positions are created, approved, changed and closed today, and putting forward good, better and best options for the transformation.

Finance
Controls Finance helps design rather than inherits.
HR and HRIS
A model chosen knowing what it enforces in Workday.
Recruiting
A requisition path that starts from a controlled position.

Outcomes so far

A shared picture of how positions move through the company
Three scoped paths, so leadership chooses the level of control
Finance, HR and Recruiting sponsoring the controls before configuration

The framework

Six moves, every time

Change management on the ADKAR model runs across all six. Kinnect enforces each one in software.

Common definitions
One meaning of headcount and position, held in the HRIS.
Roles and responsibilities
A RACI with an accountable owner for every step.
Guardrails in the tenant
The system enforces the rules, not a reminder.
Live data to Finance
Position changes reach Finance as they happen.
Lifecycle rules
Hire to retire, including terminations and backfills.
A governance forum
The teams meet on a cadence and unblock each other.

Fair questions

Are these Kinnect customers?

No. They are transformation engagements delivered as services through Kandor Solutions, Kinnect’s parent company. Kinnect is that playbook as software, and the first completed implementation will be named here the moment it can be.

Can we speak to a reference?

Yes, to a consulting reference from these engagements, labeled as exactly that. For the product, the demo runs on demo data shaped by your requirements.

Do you run transformations without the software?

Yes. Implementation, change management and headcount planning transformation are offered with Kinnect or on their own, by the same team.

Bring one approved position. We will trace where control breaks.

Thirty minutes with Seena on one position already in motion. The same first step every transformation here began with.
