Add clarification for scenarios in which Workday can be leveraged for internal transfers

Giuliana Lucchesi requested to merge gl-workday-lateral-transfer-process into master

Why is this change being made?

We have been receiving requests in the Development department to change team member's job titles to a new job family within the Development department to more accurately map to current scope of work (I.E. Backend Engineer to Fullstack Engineer). Currently, we state that all lateral transfers should go through Greenhouse reqs, but this does not work for this situation, as there are not open roles to move into, it is just a title change for existing team members.

I discussed a situation like the one outlined above recently with @gl-people-connect-team here, and we aligned that the most effective and efficient way to make the change was through Workday.

The MR adds clarification for scenarios in which Workday can be leveraged for internal transfers so we're consistent moving forward and so guidance is clear for the business.

cc @gl-peoplepartners for visibility on this and feedback (though I'm conscious this is likely more R&D-specific)
