Navigate to your My Tasks Inbox by clicking the icon in the top right-hand corner of your Workday Homepage, or from the Awaiting Your Action section in the middle of your Workday Homepage.
- In your My Tasks Inbox, you will see the following onboarding tasks:

- With the exception of onboarding tasks a) and e) above, the tasks do not have to be completed in any particular order. For this example, we will begin with the user setup form task.

- From here, all onboarding tasks should be completed. Once the new hire starts on day 1, you will be prompted by another task called Onboarding – Discuss Goals and Expectations with New Hire. This is an optional task. If you wish to Add a Goal to Employee, click the button. Otherwise, click Submit.
- If you select Add a Goal to Employee, you will be prompted to Create a New Goal or Copy an Existing Goal for this employee. Next, assign the goal to the Employee. Search for the New Hire under Employees. Select OK to proceed.
- If you select Create a New Goal for an employee, enter the Goal in the text box. Next, you can add additional information in the Description and Weight fields and indicate a Due Date. Select Add to add more than one goal. Once complete, click Submit.
- Next, go back to your My Tasks Inbox and click Submit in the Onboarding – Discuss Goals and Expectations with New Hire task to complete it.
- In addition, on day 1, you will receive a “Your New Employee Started Today” task. This task is intended to confirm if the New Hire has started work that day. If they have started on their first day, click Submit to confirm. If they did not show up or are no longer starting that day, click Report No Show to initiate the No Show Process.
- If you select Report No Show, you will be prompted to enter the Worker’s name. Click Ok to proceed to remove them from the system and complete the No Show Process.
