Many organizations that are using UKG Workforce Central find Workforce Dimensions to be a natural choice for upgrading to a more comprehensive and efficient system. However, with UKG's planned retirement of Workforce Central, now is the time to transition to Workforce Dimensions.
Migrating from UKG Workforce Central to Workforce Dimensions is a straightforward process that can be managed in a few simple steps. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Plan and Prepare
Before making the switch, it is essential to establish a clear plan outlining the scope of the project, identifying the key migrations, and establishing any critical timelines. You should also communicate with your workforce to manage their expectations, assign key roles, and establish benchmarks to track progress and ensure accountability.
Configuration and Migration
Once you have your plan, the next step involves configuring and migrating your data to Workforce Dimensions. You will need to export your data from UKG Workforce Central and import it into Workforce Dimensions. It is crucial to ensure that your data is clean and accurate before the migration process to avoid potential errors and data integrity issues.
Integration and Testing
After the data migration process is complete, you will need to integrate Workforce Dimensions with other core systems and perform rigorous testing to ensure everything is working as expected. Testing can include user acceptance testing and performance testing to help identify any issues and ensure smooth transitions.
Employee Training and Communication
Once everything is set up and tested, it is time to provide comprehensive employee training and ensure effective communication to prepare staff for the new system. This will include orientation, training on new processes, and any policies that need updating.
Post-Implementation Support
Once the migration is complete, it is important to monitor and measure the system's performance to identify and resolve issues. Post-implementation support should be a priority to ensure a smooth transition and help staff along the way. Ongoing training and support can reduce user errors and ensure that your organization is making the most of the system's features.
In conclusion, migrating from UKG Workforce Central to Workforce Dimensions is a major undertaking, but with thorough planning and preparation, it is manageable.
