Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (Paraphrased from Workday Pro HCM Core – Organizations Configuration Guide, 2023R2):

To have the Company Organization automatically default when hiring workers into a supervisory organization, you must update the organization settings through the Edit Supervisory Organization task.

This task allows you to define default organization assignments , including Company , Cost Center , Region , and Custom Organizations . Once these defaults are set, Workday automatically populates these values during staffing events such as Hire or Add Job , reducing manual entry and ensuring consistent data alignment across the hierarchy.

Option B ( Create Position ) is used to define positions within the supervisory org, not defaults.

Option C ( Edit Name/Code ) modifies identifiers only.

Option D ( Assign Roles ) relates to security role assignments.

Therefore, Edit Supervisory Organization is the correct task to establish the default Company for new hires.
