From a timeline standpoint, the broader Workday project is scheduled to kick off in early 2021, and implementation will happen in multiple phases, with phase 1 “go-live” in mid-2022, and phase 2 and 3 following in due course. The implemen- tation of the new talent experience plat- form, Phenom People, has already been kicked off, and the timelines for the addi- tional applications will be finalized as commercial negotiations are concluded.
