BYU-Idaho Is Getting Our Own Version of Workday
Starting in December 2025, BYU-Idaho will transition to a campus-specific version of Workday.
As part of this effort—what we’re calling the ‘divestiture’ project—BYU‑Idaho will move into a customized version of Workday separate from Ensign College and BYU-Hawaii.
This change, led by Human Resources and Financial Services, means our HR and finance tools will be tailored, easier to use, fully aligned with how we work here, and help us better support the evolving needs of the University.
