Change Management Analyst, BC Health Workday

Role Summary

In accordance with the Mission, Vision and Values, and strategic directions of PHSA, safety, including both patient and employee safety, is a priority and a responsibility shared by everyone at PHSA. As such, the requirement to continuously improve quality and safety is inherent in all aspects of this position. 

The BC Health Workday Program is a provincial initiative with seven participating BC health organizations (FHA, IHA, ISLH, NHA, PHC, PHSA and VCHA). The program began in 2023 to implement a Human Capital Management System (HCMS) software solution as part of the BC Health Human Resources Strategy to transform HR services. Designed by Workday Canada, the new provincial platform will replace existing HR and payroll systems in the health organizations with a single, unified technical system that will standardize and modernize HR and payroll services. It is a significant transformation in BC and is vital to the sustainability of BC’s health system. 

The Change Management Analyst reports to the Manager, Business Readiness and Change and supports the successful implementation of the BC Health Workday program by acting as a consultative partner within the assigned product workstream(s), to provide specialized expertise, analysis, insights to leadership, partners and end users on change impacts, and translates outputs into clear, actionable guidance. The Change Management Analyst conducts impact assessments to analyze and evaluate effects on roles, business processes, and policies; documenting change impacts, maintaining readiness dashboards, and ensuring accurate and timely completion of change management deliverables. 

The Change Management Analyst contributes to creating a strong team environment by fostering trust and mutual respect and supporting open dialogue on issues as they co-facilitate system demonstrations and partner engagements to addresses impacted users’ concerns, and collaborates with change, training, communication, and transformation teams to create and refine strategies and approaches. This role validates training materials, assists with knowledge transfer, and captures feedback during design sessions, testing, and training to support end-user adoption and minimize post-implementation issues. The Change Management Analyst ensures effective partner readiness and contributes to seamless system transitions across participating health organizations.
