The detailed help for the migration toolkit WorkManager rule recommends the concurrency utilities and gives several links to information including the one provided above. I am wondering if you are not seeing the detailed help when you use the tool? If you are using the Eclipse tool, open the help view (Window > Show view > Help), select the analysis result, and then click on Detailed help. If you are using the binary scanner, you can view the help directly from the HTML report. When I looked at the help file, I see that one of the links is broke, and I will open an issue for this. This article gives lots of examples on how to migrate to the concurrency utilities.

I would refer to the JavaDoc for details regarding work manager, but in short

The WorkManager is the abstraction for dispatching and monitoring asynchronous work and is a factory for asynchronous beans.

WorkManager is not part of WebSphere Liberty, but you can largely recreate the functionality in Liberty by configuring a concurrencyPolicy for its managed executors. You can find more information on that here

I would also recommend looking into the WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit as it might help you with the migration process. You can check out an example here.
