Workday HCM Core 2026: Staffing Models &
Org Structures
This study guide focuses on the architectural foundations of Workday Human
Capital Management, specifically focusing on the 2026 exam objectives regarding
Organization Management.
1. Staffing Models Comparison
Understanding the difference between Position Management and Job
Management is critical for the exam.
Feature Position Management Job Management
Definition Defines a specific seat/chair. Defines a pool of workers.
Hiring
Restrictions
Defined on each individual
position.
Defined at the Supervisory
Org level.
Worker Exit The position remains open
(unfilled).
The "seat" is removed from
the count.
Exam Scenario: If Sam works in a Position Management org and retires, his
position ID remains active and "empty." If he were in Job Management, the
vacancy would not exist as a separate entity until a new hire process begins.
2. Supervisory Organization Tasks
Create Subordinate: Creates a new org one level below.
Divide Organization: Splits an existing org into two.
Assign Superior: Moves an org to a new parent in the hierarchy.
