We’re excited to announce a new feature in Workday that makes it easier than ever to help colleagues pronounce your name correctly—and for you to do the same for them!
What’s New?
All employees, including student employees, can now add name pronunciation information in Workday. This includes:
- Audio recordings of your name
- Phonetic spelling to guide pronunciation
You can update this information from either a desktop or mobile device, making it quick and convenient to personalize your profile.
Why It Matters
Names are a core part of our identities. This new feature helps foster a mutually respectful workplace. You can also listen to the name pronunciations of others, making it easier to connect and communicate with your coworkers.
Where Is This Information Used?
The name pronunciation you add will be available only within Workday. It will not sync with other university systems like Carmen that may have their own pronunciation tools.
