Tech Tip: Update your preferred name in Workday before Office 365

By: Ryan Johnson

Office 365 will use your preferred name in WorkDay. Before we migrate into the new system this summer, you may want to verify your name.

Below are the steps to update or review your name in WorkDay:

 Change Preferred Name

  1. Log into Workday using your credentials. Upon logging in, you will land on your Homepage.
  2. From the employee’s homepage, click Personal Information worklet.
  3. Under the Change section, click on the Preferred Name button.
  4. Un-check the Use Legal Name As Preferred Name box.
  5. Change the First or Last Name as needed.
  6. Click on the Submit button.
  7. A confirmation displays.
  8. Click Done.

Note: It can take 5-10 business days for any changes to display in Office 365.
