Get the Preos Guide to Workday 2026 R2.

The features you should know about, rated by effort and impact so you know where to focus.

Every Workday release brings a fresh wave of features. We’ve done the work of finding the ones that matter for you.
Working out which releases matter for your organisation, which can wait, and where to start, twice a year, on top of everything else, makes it easy for good features to slip quietly down the backlog.
 
Our Workday consultants have reviewed the full 2026 R2 release and highlighted the features worth your attention.
 
For each one, you get an explanation of what it does, why it matters, and a rating of the effort to implement against the impact you can expect. Everything you need to decide what to act on now, what to schedule, and what to leave.
