We are thrilled to announce the successful launch of the Agency Workday Environment (AWE) on May 27, 2025 — a critical milestone in advancing statewide readiness for the Workday implementation.
Developed in direct response to agency feedback, AWE provides agencies with early access to the State’s actual Workday design — not a generic or blank instance. This tailored environment allows nearly 4,000 agency users to explore real system functionality, roles, and processes aligned to their future state. More than just system access, AWE offers an immersive experience in the full Workday transformation — bringing together training, engagement, change management, and business processes into one environment. It supports readiness by enabling teams to see, practice, and experience what Workday will look and feel like, and to begin developing the tools, materials, and strategies they’ll need for a successful go-live.
This launch reflects months of dedicated work by the One Washington team and our agencies alike. While AWE is one component of the broader readiness effort, it represents a major step forward - and a tangible example of how statewide collaboration continues to drive progress.
