Beeline for Extended Workforce Management
Beeline will be Mass General Brigham's new Extended Workforce Management System. This will be the centralized record management system for extended workers, formerly known as POIs and non-employees - a critical aspect of our workforce population. Beeline will be MGB's single source of truth for extended workforce management, decreasing manual entry work, providing consistent policies, and improving the experience for MGB managers and extended workers. It will also enhance MGB's reporting capabilities in conjunction with Workday, allowing the organization to view reports that cover the entirety of the workforce. For more information, visit the Beeline Vitals page (https://partnershealthcare.sharepoint.com/sites/VitalsBusinessExcellence/SitePages/Extended-Workforce-Management-System.aspx?xsdata=MDV8MDJ8fGQ1NWRjNGFmZmE0MjRmZWE3Yjk3MDhkY2U2YzU3YTQ5fDcyMGVkYjFmNWM0ZTQwNDM4MTQxMjE0YTYzYTdlYWQ1fDB8MHw2Mzg2Mzg5ODMwMTQzNDk3MTl8VW5rbm93bnxWR1ZoYlhOVFpXTjFjbWwwZVZObGNuWnBZMlY4ZXlKV0lqb2lNQzR3TGpBd01EQWlMQ0pRSWpvaVYybHVNeklpTENKQlRpSTZJazkwYUdWeUlpd2lWMVFpT2pFeGZRPT18MXxMMk5vWVhSekx6RTVPbU0yT1RNME4ySXdOelJoTXpRMU5XUmlaall4TWprMlpUWXhaamcyTXpWbFFIUm9jbVZoWkM1Mk1pOXRaWE56WVdkbGN5OHhOekk0TXpBeE5UQXdNVGMzfDZiN2ZjZjViNmNmMjQ0NmQ3Yjk3MDhkY2U2YzU3YTQ5fDE5MzQ5YjMzOTI1NDQ1OGNiMDdiMDk2YTExZmM2MGEw&sdata=S0FyZWVWRGxTUG9IRWM1aW43RVhYNXZZaHRyUTZHTVk5TDV2aU40VEdKVT0%3D&ovuser=720edb1f-5c4e-4043-8141-214a63a7ead5%2Chcollins-oosting%40mgb.org).

Introducing Opus, for just-in-time learning
Even if you've completed training once, it can be hard to remember how to do one-off tasks in technology. Mass General Brigham's solution is Opus for just-in-time learning needs. Opus provides MGB employees with on-screen support for completing tasks in Workday and UKG by offering job aids, simulations, and interactive demonstrations right in the application. It aims to enhance an employee’s training experience with just-in-time support, accessible via a web advisor lightbulb icon in your internet browser toolbar. Workday job aid resources and all training will be available to MGB employees starting October 21, 2024, with full access by January 1, 2025.

The Essentials: Employee and Manager Readiness (Pt. 2)
In this episode, we revisit the topic of what employees and managers need to do to be ready for Workday to go live at Mass General Brigham. The focus for part two is what employees and managers need to do day one and week one in our new technology, and shortly thereafter. The more prepared we are for the new world of work, the more we will all be able to focus our efforts for training, and making sure we have as smooth a transition as possible in the new year.

The Essentials: Employee and Manager Readiness
What should employees and managers do to be ready for go-live? As we start fall with an eye towards our January 1 go-live date in Workday, the organizational readiness team returns to the essentials with part one of two, covering what employees and managers need to do to be ready for go-live. Part two will cover what employees and managers can expect to do at and beyond go-live. Our goal is to make sure our people understand what is most needed - and decreasing pressure wherever possible - while directing them to additional resources.

The Manager Experience in Workday
People managers play an important role in the Workday experience, especially as many actions in Workday are tied to the manager-employee relationship. In this episode, we walk through a summary of the workflows and processes related to the manager experience in the new system, as well as the supports and resources in place to ensure our managers are able to focus on what matters most: leading people and work to achieve our collective mission. For more information on the topic, review the Workday in 30 session (https://partnershealthcare.sharepoint.com/sites/VitalsBusinessExcellence/SitePages/Workday-In-30.aspx), Reporting Structures and the Role of the Manager, hosted on the Business Excellence Vitals site (https://partnershealthcare.sharepoint.com/sites/VitalsBusinessExcellence).

Becoming an Empowered Learner
Being an Empowered learner means taking steps to move from reacting to change to preparing for change. It also means understanding that learning takes repetition, practice, and time to digest. The Organizational Readiness team created a micro video series to explain how to become an Empowered learner by providing a learning path for employees and managers. Listen in on a conversation about this series and how it is preparing people for the training pathways for Workday readiness in the fall. To access the Empowered Learner series, visit the BEx Vitals site.

Change Champion Network
The Business Excellence Organizational Readiness Team created the Change Champion Network to play an integral part in the communications cascade in preparation for systemwide go-lives. The System Change Champion Network was the first group created in 2022. The Functional Change Champion Network was added in 2023 and the Expanded Change Champion Network was added in 2024. Combined, these three networks host more than 1,200 participants and include representation from various roles across the entire Mass General Brigham system. Listen in to get more details on the differences between each network, how to find your local roster, and how you can join the Expanded Change Champion Network!

Performance Evaluations
Performance evaluations are an important part of the manager-employee relationship - and at Mass General Brigham, the process will be changing for a substantial part of our workforce as we move to a standard performance review periodas our future practice. But first, we need to be ready for the transition year in 2025. Learn about what's changing in the space of performance evaluations, who the changes apply to, and how we'll gradually make the move over the come year.

Workday Resource Navigation Tool
With the transition to Workday only a few months away, the amount of available information will only increase over time. To help access the correct resources effectively and efficiently, the Organizational Readiness Team has created a tool to do just that. The Workday Resource Navigation Tool will act as a central hub for general information and provide direct links to additional details and resources across various platforms. This episode will cover additional details on why the tool was created, how to use it, and what areas of the Workday journey it supports. For more information visit the BEx Vitals site (https://partnershealthcare.sharepoint.com/sites/VitalsBusinessExcellence).

PeopleSoft Restrictions
Moving out of one system and into another is a complicated process. A key priority in managing the move is ensuring our data and information make as smooth a transition into the new system as possible. To do this, we must begin to protect the data in our current system, PeopleSoft, through a series of restriction periods. Some of these changes only affect business roles, but some will reach all employees and managers. This episode covers: definitions of "limited transaction and block periods"; explanations of the purpose and approach; and examples of all-user impacts close to go-live. For more information, and to review the visual framework for all PeopleSoft restrictions, visit the BEx Vitals site (https://partnershealthcare.sharepoint.com/sites/VitalsBusinessExcellence).
