Enter the Nexus Countdown Contest by May 18; You Could Win a Big Prize!

Submitted by tnmaione on

It’s all aboard as we prepare for Workday, the new UKG Pro Workforce and an expanded Employee Center!

Over the next few months, you'll learn a lot about these new tools. To help you prepare, we're running 6 monthly contests. To enter, you'll watch a short video or read an article and answer a few questions on the entry form. Three people will be randomly selected to win a prize each month.

If you enter all 6 contests, you'll be entered in the grand prize drawing:

  • 6 employees will receive $500 each
  • 2 employees will receive $1,000 each
  • 1 employee will receive $5,000 

The Nexus hub has full details about the 6-month countdown contest. And check out this vlog from our Chief Financial Officer Don Halliwill, who is the executive sponsor for the project. Stay tuned to hear more from Don in the coming months!

Your Nexus Selfies!

Earlier this month, we asked you to share a selfie and quote about Nexus. Read a few of the quotes below, and check out the photo gallery above to see some of the selfies and additional quotes. We'll share more quotes in the months to come!

  • Karen Dillon, Technology Services Group: “It will be a one-stop shop for everything rather than going to separate places now to get what you need.” 

  • Kristin Purnell, Pediatrics: “I'm excited that I'll be able to adjust my timecard myself and send it for approval instead of having to remind my manager.” 

  • Valerie Sink, Accounting: “I work in accounting and so am very excited for the Workday portion that will offer real-time data.” 

  • Tommy St. Clair, Emergency Department, CRMH: “Workday has been a good choice with other employers I've been with. It's quite easy to use and very fluid. I've had no issues with it. I look forward to the change and having all the things coupled together instead of having it scattered across Carilion's Intranet.” 

  • Angela Richardson, Carilion Family Medicine - Rocky Mount: “UKG! Staff being able to enter their own missed punches will be amazing!”
