Arythmatic + Workday

Sync employee data automatically between Workday and Arythmatic

Last Updated: April 2026

Connect Arythmatic with Workday to automatically sync employee profiles, departments, and roles. Auto-enroll new hires in onboarding courses and track training completion alongside HR records.

Why Connect Workday with Your LMS?

Organizations using Workday as their HR system of record face a persistent disconnect between employee lifecycle events and training management. When new hires join, HR teams must manually notify L&D to create accounts and assign onboarding courses, often causing delays of days or even weeks before employees can access critical training. Department transfers and role changes go unnoticed by the LMS, leaving employees enrolled in irrelevant courses while missing training required for their new position. Terminations create security risks when former employees retain LMS access long after leaving. This manual coordination between HR and learning systems wastes hundreds of administrative hours annually, introduces compliance gaps in regulated industries, and creates a poor first-day experience for new employees who should be productive from day one.

Key Benefits

Automatic user provisioning when employees are added to Workday
Sync department and role data for targeted course assignments
