ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ

Starting on January 31, 2025, ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ IT Services will begin decommissioning the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Staff Directory in several steps. This initiative aims to streamline processes, improve security against phishing attacks, and replace outdated technology.ÌýÌý

As a result, Workday will now be the primary source for managing staff display names that appear in Microsoft 365 applications (e.g.,Teams and Outlook). Starting January 31, 2025, staff names that are displayed in Teams and Outlook will be updated to the following format: [Workday Preferred First Name] [Workday Legal Last Name], [Workday Preferred Prefix].ÌýÌý

** Note: If no edits are made in Workday, staff’s Legal Name and Legal Prefix will automatically be set as their Preferred Name and Preferred Prefix and will appear as their display name in Microsoft 365 apps.**Ìý
