Workday Integration for Employee Recognition

How do you connect Workday with Matter?

Teams can set up your HRIS integration from the Matter web app by going to Settings, opening HRIS Integration, selecting Sign In to HRIS, and following the guided setup flow. HRIS integration requires a paid Matter plan, and the initial sync may take a few minutes depending on data volume. Admins can later configure your HRIS integration from the HRIS settings page.

What employee data can Workday sync into Matter?

Matter's HRIS integration can sync standard employee fields such as date of birth, direct manager, ethnicity, gender, hire date, and job title into Matter. Teams can also use Member Properties to organize additional synced HRIS data and map custom fields for filtering, reporting, and personalization. For a walkthrough of analytics, properties, segments, and HRIS-powered reporting in Matter, watch the Analytics Training Video.

Can Workday data be used for groups, segments, and filtering in Matter?

Yes. Teams can use synced HRIS data to create Member Groups and Member Segments based on employee properties. Groups can mirror org structure and manager visibility, while segments can use property-based rules to filter recognition, rewards, survey data, and analytics. Segments update automatically every 24 hours, which helps keep reporting and targeting current as employee data changes.

Can Workday data power celebrations in Matter?

Yes. Matter can use HRIS data to support birthday and work anniversary celebrations. Matter can sync celebration dates from your HRIS and automatically create and manage celebration events so teams do not miss important milestones. For more details, see the Celebrations Guide.
