What is inside
Written to be used, not filed
- The Position Management Health Assessment
- Twenty questions across governance foundation, system configuration, cross-team alignment, workflow efficiency, and data integrity and reporting. Each scored zero to two, with red, yellow and green bands and a note on which category to start in.
- A configuration audit checklist
- Sixteen checks on the tenant you inherited: cost centers, managers, job profiles, pay bands, routing rules, budget owners, planned headcount, reconciliation, access and integration mappings. HRIS-neutral, with a count of exceptions next to each.
- A governance framework and a one-page template
- Five roles (hiring manager, manager, budget owner, HR and HRIS, recruiter), the request-to-backfill flow, the decisions that must be made and where each is recorded, and a fillable template for the budget owners to sign.
- The workflow optimization guide
- Five moves in order: fix the data, derive the approvers from the structure, put the plan check in front of the decision, make the requisition a consequence of the position, and make backfill the default path for a departure.
- The five most expensive mistakes, as a scorecard
- Counting headcount in people or reqs, approving by email, routing to named approvers, ghost requisitions and starting from scratch on a backfill: how to spot each one, what it costs in plain words, and the fix.
Who wrote it
Written from the client side of the HRIS, not from the vendor's documentation

- 15+ years in the Workday ecosystem
- 10+ years in client-side roles
- 40+ enterprise implementations

Who wrote it?
Kinnect's founder, from 15+ years in the Workday ecosystem and 40+ enterprise implementations.
Is it Workday-specific?
No. It applies to any organization planning and approving headcount, whichever HRIS and ATS are involved. Workday examples appear where they help.
Can I share it with my team?
Yes. Pass the file on to Finance, HR and Recruiting. Several of the exercises work best when all three take them separately and compare.
