Lisa Barth, manager of academic advising at the T. Denny Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics, and Brendan Fields, senior project manager at the Family Violence Center, turned healthy habits into big wins by participating in the Health Impact Program last year. Each won $200 and exclusive prizes by earning more than 75,000 points through staying active. 

Barth, who has participated in HIP on and off during her 12 years at ASU, said getting a smartwatch helped her stay consistent. She earned over 100,000 points and won a massage seat cushion through regular hiking, walking, running and pickleball. 

She also made the HIP app part of her everyday routine, using it during her walk to the office. “It’s a great time to read my daily cards with inspirational and helpful tips and check in on my goals,” said Barth. 

Fields joined HIP in 2022, earned nearly 90,000 points last year and won a deep tissue massager by commuting by bike, lifting weights, swimming, practicing yoga and rock climbing. He racked up points by linking the HIP app to his Fitbit. 

“I already track all my workouts, steps and sleep on my Fitbit, so being able to import that automatically to HIP made it a lot easier,” he said. 

Both Barth and Fields noted that HIP reminders, encouragement and challenges helped motivate them to reach their goals. 

HIP participants can earn $25 to $200 through physical activity and monitoring their eating habits and mental well-being. The more you do, the more you earn. 

Visit the HIP page for more information and enroll in the program to start earning points.

Managers supervise employees and ensure team-related HR transactions are initiated and approved. This can include approving time and time-off requests, assigning training and performing Workday Check-in reviews.

You must verify that your employees have entered their time worked or time off and then approve those hours in a timely manner.

It is your responsibility to ensure your employees get paid. 

Hourly employees receive pay only if their time is approved. On the Friday of each pay period week, run the reports below to verify employees have submitted their time and that you have approved it. 

Those with a Manager, Timekeeper or Operational Timekeeper role can run the following reports:

• Approved time off.
• Workers with no time entered.
• Workers with time entered but not approved.
• Workers with time entered but not submitted.

If they are on a leave of absence or have taken time off, managers can delegate their authority to approve time. Refer to the manage task delegations via My Tasks inbox job aid for instructions on delegating. 

You can also watch a recording of a Manager Delegations webinar to see how you complete this process.

Please log into Workday at least once a week to check whether you have any tasks to complete. Refer to the change notification preferences job aid for instructions on setting up email notifications in Workday. 

Here is a list of HR, learning, recruitment and talent management business processes managers can initiate in Workday. 

Managers can also initiate the following business processes in Workday related to pay and role requests.

Below are job aids and recorded support sessions related to a manager's primary responsibilities. Find additional resources in the Work Instructions and Information section in Workday.

Jay Donnelly, ASU Vice President of University Real Estate Development, has been recognized as a standout performer in his field by two Valley-based publications.

Phoenix Magazine recently showcased Donnelly's work in its Great 48 class of 2024 edition, highlighting outstanding individuals from the Valley in business, sports, the arts, media, philanthropy and politics.

Donnelly joined ASU in 2018 and oversees its real estate portfolio. He also earned accolades in AZ Big Media’s latest People and Projects to Know in Commercial Real Estate. The magazine’s 2025 issue spotlights Arizona’s most influential commercial real estate professionals and projects shaping the landscape.

The publications noted Donnelly’s pivotal role in developing the Novus Innovation Corridor, a 355-acre mixed-use, public-private partnership on the ASU Tempe campus. He guides ASU’s collaboration with Catellus, a private development partner in the project, and is responsible for strategic planning.  

“Novus creates an ecosystem where private-sector companies and ASU’s knowledge assets co-locate for the benefit of our community,” Donnelly said. “These recognitions display the university’s overall commitment to educational growth on and around our campuses.”

In addition to Donnelly’s accolades, the People and Projects to Know in 2025 issue highlighted the Tempe District Utility Plant project. The new utility plant will provide greater electrical, chilled and heated water capacity to meet the current and future needs of facilities on the west side of the Tempe campus.
