Comments on the News
"Leading medium enterprises around the world trust Workday to drive their businesses forward due to our long-standing reputation for having happy, live customers realizing immediate value," said Gonzalo Benedit, president, EMEA and APJ, Workday. "With Workday, organisations have a single system that is easy to use, quick to deploy, simple to manage, and most importantly -- capable of supporting future business growth."

"We wanted an HR system that would help transform the organisation and Workday met all our criteria. Workday really is a super system," said Kerry Smith, director of people and organisational development, British Heart Foundation. "We don't see Workday as just an HR tool, we see it as a business transformation tool. It will be a huge step forward for us as an organisation and something that matches our own ambitions and vision to be a world class charity."

"Given the constraints we faced with our legacy systems and the need to put in place a flexible system to support our transition from HEFCE to the Office for Students in April 2018, moving to Workday was a natural choice," said Alison Jarvis, head of finance, HEFCE. "With Workday, we have a single system across our finance and HR functions that supports our needs now and in the future, and a system that provides a single source of truth rather than separate systems that cannot integrate. We look forward to working with the company and our deployment partner Kainos on this exciting project."

"In choosing Workday HCM, we opted for a future-ready system focused on managing talent and streamlining our collaborative processes," said Géraldine Moreno-Achain, director of HR, Stokomani. "Workday provides us with a unified source of data that key players have access to in real time, enabling them to increase productivity."
