Learning Mass Update App: Simplifying Training Compliance in Workday

Engagement Summary

Managing training compliance across a large, distributed workforce requires speed, accuracy, and simplicity. To address growing operational complexity on the shop floor, the client engaged Kastech to rethink how learning completions were managed at scale. Through a purpose-built Workday Extend solution (Learning Mass Update App), Kastech enabled faster updates, reduced manual effort, and delivered a practical, user-friendly experience that fit seamlessly into daily operations.

Client Background

Operating across the United States, the client is a large nationwide automotive repair chain supported by a dispersed workforce of shop floor employees. To keep pace with operational demands, the organization required a more efficient way to manage compliance and skills training records across its locations.

Business Challenges

With large groups of employees completing training simultaneously, existing processes became difficult to manage and increasingly inefficient.

  • Shop floor managers needed a simple way to record completion of on-site training courses
  • Workday’s delivered process required managers to select and update each employee individually, resulting in time-consuming and error-prone workflows
  • The client required a faster, more scalable solution to accurately capture learning completions, particularly during high-volume training sessions

The client needed a faster and more practical way to record training completions across a high-volume, shop-floor environment. The objective was to eliminate manual effort, reduce dependency on repetitive system actions, and give managers a simple way to update learning records in real time. At the same time, the solution needed to maintain accuracy, support compliance requirements, and scale easily as training volumes increased.

Drawing on practical experience supporting high-volume operational teams, Kastech delivered the Learning Mass Update App to simplify and accelerate training completion workflows. The solution was designed to remove manual inefficiencies while enabling managers to update learning records quickly and accurately within Workday.
