As part of an expanded partnership announced in May<\/a>, Salesforce and Workday will offer integrated solutions to help organizations prepare for a return to work. To help organizations make critical return-to-work decisions and respond to COVID-19 faster, MuleSoft and Workday are also empowering organizations to unlock data across systems and act on insights faster through Work.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, MuleSoft is announcing a new MuleSoft Accelerator for Work.com<\/a> to arm leaders with integration tools to quickly and easily import and synchronize the employee data needed to inform safe return to work strategies. When paired with Workday Human Capital Management (HCM)<\/a>, joint customers can access data to safeguard and support the workforce and align talent for a changing world of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 has challenged leaders across organizations to move at an unprecedented pace and make mission-critical decisions that affect customers, employees and the wider community. To guide those decisions and quickly act on them, businesses need the ability to leverage employee data residing in different applications to protect employees as they reopen offices in compliance with local health and safety regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available now, MuleSoft Accelerator for Work.com<\/a> allows customers to easily integrate data from any system into the suite of solutions. MuleSoft Accelerator for Work.com provides pre-built connectors, integration templates, and data mappings to unlock critical employee data from systems like Workday to enhance Work.com products like the Workplace Command Center, Contact Tracing, and Shift Management to do what matters most \u2014 get employees back to work safely. For MuleSoft and Workday HCM customers, the MuleSoft Accelerator for Work.com will be provided at no additional cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help us better understand the partnership between Salesforce and Workday and why unlocking employee data is so important to creating safe return to work strategies we recently sat down with Ahyoung An, Director of Solutions, MuleSoft and David Somers, GM, Talent Optimization, Workday to learn more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahyoung An is the Director of Solutions for MuleSoft, responsible for bringing productized solutions to market that accelerate the impact of a customer\u2019s application network. David Somers is the GM of Talent Optimization at Workday, responsible for leading the strategy and development of HCM products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What types of decisions can leaders now make with Workday data integrated into Work.com?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith employee data available in Work.com, business and HR leaders can quickly and easily understand how employees are doing, if they\u2019ve been exposed to COVID-19, and if not, how to safely bring them back to work,\u201d said Ahyoung An, Director of Solutions, MuleSoft. \u201cBy leveraging Workday data across Contact Tracing and Shift Management capabilities in Work.com employers can quickly understand which team members may be exposed to the virus if an employee gets sick and mitigate exposure with a thoughtful approach to office density.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the single source for data for organizations related to their workforce, Workday HCM provides the critical worker data to help make important business decisions as they respond to the global pandemic,\u201d David Somers, GM, Talent Optimization, Workday. \u201cBy combining Work.com\u2019s Shift Management and Contact Tracing with employee sentiment, health attestation, and work location preferences through Workday surveys, leaders can have confidence in their plan, supported by data-driven decisions about who returns to the workplace, where they can safely return, and how the work gets done.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Why is it so important to unlock employee data to reopen offices and businesses safely?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCrafting a return to work strategy will be unique to each business and their office footprint. To navigate this complexity businesses need to understand local and state public health guidance, up to date information on COVID-19 cases and what cities employees are commuting from and to which offices. If COVID-19 cases are spiking in a specific city, business leaders should consider limiting the movement of employees living in those towns to office locations until cases return to a manageable level,\u201d said An. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom a worker perspective the return to work will be a very personal decision. Living and commuting situations, their own health, the health of colleagues, and work location preferences will impact their willingness or ability to return to the workplace. So not only is a return to the workplace strategy unique to each business and office location, it is also unique to each worker. An understanding of employee sentiment, workforce, and workplace data will allow HR partners and people leaders to respond with empathy, ensure safety and wellbeing, and enable productivity,\u201d said Somers. <\/p>\n\n\n
