How the Workday Integration Works
Why Integrate Workday with Your Mentoring Program
Organizations choose the Workday-to-Qooper integration to solve the "data silo" problem:
-
Eliminates Administrative Burden: HR teams no longer need to manually manage CSV exports or invite lists.
-
Enhances Matching Precision: By using verified Workday data, the "Smart Match" algorithm connects mentors and mentees based on actual organizational hierarchy and skill sets.
-
Scales Enterprise-Wide: Easily manage programs across tens of thousands of employees across global locations with consistent data.
-
Data Integrity: Reduces errors associated with self-reported profile data by pulling "source of truth" information from the HCM.
Note: The integration follows enterprise security best practices, utilizing OAuth 2.0 and encrypted data transfers to ensure that sensitive employee information remains protected.
The Qooper Workday Integration is designed to support:
-
High-Volume Onboarding: Instantly pair new hires with "buddies" the moment they are hired in Workday.
-
Leadership Pipelines: Identify and enroll "High Potential" employees into executive mentoring.
-
Diversity & Inclusion (DEI): Use demographic data to support and track the progress of ERG-based mentoring programs.
-
Internal Mobility: Suggest mentors based on an employee’s "Next Step" career interests documented in Workday.
Built for Comprehensive Talent Development
Secure & Compliant Workday Connectivity
The Qooper-Workday integration is built to the highest enterprise standards, utilizing Workday-native security protocols to protect your HCM data. By leveraging a dedicated Integration System User (ISU) and Security Groups (ISSG), your HRIS team maintains granular control over exactly which attributes are shared. All data transfers are secured via OAuth 2.0 and AES-256 encryption, ensuring a secure "handshake" without the need to store administrative credentials. Furthermore, the integration automates the employee lifecycle—instantly revoking access in Qooper when a worker is offboarded in Workday—to ensure your organizational data remains compliant, audited, and secure at all times.

FAQ
How does Qooper connect to Workday technically?
Qooper integrates with Workday via Workday RaaS (Reports as a Service) or direct API, using a dedicated Integration System User (ISU) and Integration System Security Group (ISSG). This Workday-native approach gives your HRIS team granular control over which data attributes are shared — with no custom code required and no administrative credentials stored on Qooper's end. All data transfers are secured via OAuth 2.0 and AES-256 encryption.
What Workday employee data fields can be synced into Qooper?
Any standard or custom Workday field can be mapped to Qooper profile attributes. Commonly synced fields include name, email, job title, department, location, manager, hire date, worker type, organizational unit, and skills. Your HRIS team defines the exact field mapping — Qooper only receives the attributes your organization explicitly authorizes.
How does Workday data improve mentor matching quality in Qooper?
Qooper's Smart Match algorithm uses Workday's verified, source-of-truth employee data — job function, department, tenure, skills, and organizational hierarchy — to generate mentor-mentee pairings based on actual organizational context rather than self-reported profile data. This eliminates matching errors caused by incomplete or outdated employee information and produces significantly more relevant mentoring relationships at scale.
Does the Workday integration support automated user provisioning and offboarding?
Yes. New hires added to Workday are automatically provisioned in Qooper and enrolled in the appropriate programs — onboarding, high-potential, or ERG-based — based on their Workday Worker Type or Organization status. When an employee is terminated or marked inactive in Workday, their Qooper access is automatically revoked in the same sync cycle, maintaining data compliance and eliminating manual offboarding tasks for HR teams.
Does Qooper support Single Sign-On (SSO) through Workday?
Yes. Qooper supports SSO via Workday using SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect, allowing employees to access the mentoring platform using their existing Workday credentials. This removes the friction of separate logins, increases platform adoption, and keeps access management centralized within your existing identity infrastructure.
How frequently does data sync between Workday and Qooper?
Sync frequency is configurable to match your organization's operational requirements. Most enterprise organizations run daily automated syncs to capture promotions, role changes, lateral moves, and new hire additions. Real-time sync is also supported for organizations that require immediate reflection of workforce changes — such as high-volume onboarding environments or programs tied to dynamic organizational structures.
Can Workday data be used to automate program enrollment — not just user creation?
Yes. Beyond provisioning user accounts, the Workday integration enables dynamic, rules-based program enrollment. Employees are automatically enrolled into specific Qooper programs — leadership development, DEI mentoring, onboarding buddy programs, or internal mobility initiatives — based on Workday attributes such as Worker Type, Organization, Job Level, or custom fields defined by your HRIS team. This eliminates manual enrollment management entirely for large-scale programs.
Does the Workday integration require IT or developer resources to maintain?
No ongoing developer resources are required. Qooper provides a guided configuration process and clear technical documentation. Initial setup requires a Workday Administrator to create the ISU, ISSG, and report or API endpoint within Workday — a standard configuration task for any Workday-experienced HRIS team. After activation, the integration runs and syncs automatically without manual intervention or IT maintenance overhead.
How does the Workday integration support DEI and ERG mentoring programs?
Workday demographic and organizational data — including department, location, and custom diversity attributes — can be used within Qooper to segment participants, power ERG-specific program enrollment, and track mentoring engagement across underrepresented groups. HR and L&D leaders gain a unified view of DEI mentoring participation aligned directly to their Workday workforce data — enabling accurate, auditable program reporting.
