Workday Learning prices per worker per year with significant content-library variability and a separate Extended Enterprise SKU for external learners. We negotiate the full Learning stack — fixed fee or gain share — and consistently right-size content and external-learner pricing.
Workday Learning has two distinct pricing surfaces: the platform PEPY for your employees and the Extended Enterprise model for external learners (partners, customers, contractors). Each negotiates differently. The content library — whether OpenSesame, LinkedIn Learning, Skillsoft, or custom — adds a third surface that's almost always quoted at full retail. The result: a deal that looks cheap on the headline PEPY but compounds 2-3x across content and external learners.
Standard Learning PEPY for employees. We benchmark against peer headcount and bundle with HCM where possible.
Extended Enterprise is priced per external learner. Most customers over-license. We negotiate tier-based or consumption pricing.
OpenSesame, LinkedIn Learning, and Skillsoft are often resold with markup. We negotiate direct content licensing or unbundled pass-through.
Custom content authoring and compliance modules are frequently sold as required add-ons. We make them optional and unit-priced.
Mobile Learning and offline content sync are sometimes metered. We negotiate inclusive entitlements.
Scoped deliverables. Predictable cost. You know the fee before we start. Benchmarks, negotiation strategy, and live deal support across every redline.
Zero upfront cost. Our fee is a percentage of verified, documented savings. No savings, no fee. Our incentives are 100% aligned with yours.
The content library was costing us more than the platform. Unbundling the pass-through and going direct with LinkedIn Learning cut our blended Learning cost by 38%.
Workday Learning is functionally competitive but priced higher than standalone LMS competitors. The leverage in negotiation isn't typically about replacing Workday Learning — it's about ensuring you're not paying premium pricing for parity functionality.
Extended Enterprise is a separate SKU that lets you license Workday Learning to external audiences — partners, customers, contractors, alumni. It prices per external learner with significant volume tiers. Most customers over-purchase the initial tier.
Yes. Workday Learning supports SCORM, xAPI, and standard content packages. You can run LinkedIn Learning, Skillsoft, OpenSesame, or custom-authored content without buying Workday-resold libraries.
Skills Cloud is positioned as the connective tissue across Recruiting, Talent, and Learning. We negotiate Skills Cloud as a separate SKU and bundle decisions explicitly, rather than letting it appear by default in the Learning quote.
Yes, particularly at renewal or when adding Extended Enterprise. Learning gain share engagements typically close in 45-75 days.
