Erroneous Workday Notification

On Friday, many employees received a task in their Workday Inbox requesting a review of their benefits. The requested task was: “Verify Life Insurance Beneficiary.” This task was initiated in error.
 
This task has now been removed from inboxes. If you changed your beneficiary on December 11 as a response to the requested task, please reverse this change in Workday.
 
Please see Workday this Week for more info.
