Trust.
At Workday, trust is foundational to everything we do. We deploy industry-leading safeguards and continuously monitor our systems. We are transparent about what we do and how we do it.
Keeping information secure.
Security is everyone’s responsibility at Workday, regardless of your role. We are committed to protecting our sensitive data, systems, and infrastructure from cybersecurity threats. We take great care to safeguard our information assets; protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information; and ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and customer commitments.
Every Workmate is responsible for promptly reporting security incidents and for assisting with investigations as required.

Workday confidential and proprietary information.
Workday employees regularly have access to confidential or proprietary information related to Workday and our customers, suppliers, and partners. Protecting this information is crucial to Workday and our stakeholders.
Examples of confidential or proprietary information include, but are not limited to:
- Workday information: product roadmaps, unreleased features, financial data, internal communications, and employee information
- Partner information: details of joint projects, customer lists, pricing models, and any other sensitive data shared between Workday and our partners
- Customer information: any personal or business data entrusted to Workday by our customers
Please share confidential information only with Workday employees who have a business need to know. Avoid discussing such information with anyone outside of Workday, including family and friends. Take precautions to avoid inadvertent disclosure of confidential information, and be mindful of what you publicly share about Workday.
If an outside consultant or analyst offers to pay you for your perspective on the market and specific products, you should decline. Not only would you potentially be putting the confidential information of Workday and our customers, suppliers, and partners at risk, but you would also be in potential violation of the Workday Conflicts of Interest Policy against engagement with Expert Network Firms (ENFs).
Inspiring integrity:
If a customer asks for a product roadmap that has not been finalized and announced, then say “It’s in discussion, and we hope to announce our updated roadmap soon.” We can show we care without oversharing.
Data privacy.
At Workday, we are transparent about how we handle personal data. We’re successful when our employees, applicants, customers, prospective customers, and partners trust us to protect their privacy and handle their data as expected.
All Workmates are responsible for following global privacy laws by helping to put our privacy practices into action. Here are some examples of how to do this:
- Protect personal data by building and deploying secure, configurable products and services.
- Limit personal data collection to the data that’s truly needed.
- Ensure that a clear and accurate notice is provided when collecting or processing personal data.
- Only use personal data for legitimate business purposes consistent with the notice.
- Respect our Workmates’ and customers’ instructions related to the personal data they enter into our services and sites.
- Comply with all applicable policies and laws related to data privacy and the transfer of personal data.

Additionally, all Workmates must be familiar with and follow our Processor Binding Corporate Rules, as approved by European Union and United Kingdom data protection authorities.
Inspiring integrity:
If you have concerns with how Workday is handling personal data, whether it’s your own employee data or the data a customer inputs into a Workday service, speak up! Workmates have a responsibility to understand our data privacy obligations and notify the appropriate teams if they see something that doesn’t align with Workday policies.
Protecting Workday intellectual property.
Innovation is a Workday core value. To maintain our competitive edge, we must safeguard our intellectual property, which includes inventions, product and business ideas, creative content, and other valuable information.

Respecting the intellectual property of others.
Workday competes ethically. We do not use confidential information from other companies without their permission. This includes information from competitors, former employers, customers, and business partners.
Before asking for or accepting confidential information from others, ensure all parties have signed a Workday-approved nondisclosure agreement. If you inadvertently obtain such information, contact Legal, Compliance, and Corporate Affairs immediately.
When creating content for Workday, do original work. Do not copy or incorporate content owned by others without proper authorization.

Workday assets and resources.
Workday provides Workmates with information and technology (IT) resources to perform their jobs. These resources are Workday property and must be used in a manner that reflects positively on Workday and all who work here.
When doing your work, only use Workday-approved methods to communicate, store, and share information. Do not use unapproved applications for work communications, and do not save Workday information on personal devices or sites.
Limited personal use of IT resources is permitted but must not interfere with Workmates’ work performance or the work performance of others. Workday reserves the right to monitor and inspect the use of its information and technology resources. Maintain the security and integrity of the Workday network during any personal use of IT resources, including by avoiding risky sites and being very careful about transfer or storage of personal files using Workday resources.
Inspiring integrity:
Use good judgment when using Workday equipment. Always ensure that personal use does not interfere with your work environment or in any way violate our policies.
