We’re working on integrating Workday workforce analytics data into our enterprise data warehouse for consolidated reporting across multiple HR systems. The main challenges we’re facing relate to data volume management, maintaining data accuracy across systems, and implementing efficient incremental updates rather than full refreshes.

Our workforce data includes about 50,000 employees with historical records going back 5 years. Initial full loads are manageable, but we’re struggling with the ongoing sync strategy. We’ve also noticed data accuracy issues where Workday calculated fields don’t always match our warehouse calculations, and we’re not sure which system should be the source of truth.

I’m curious how others have tackled similar workforce analytics integration projects. What strategies have you used to handle large data volumes efficiently? How do you ensure data accuracy between Workday and your warehouse? And what approaches work best for incremental updates to keep data current without overloading systems?
