OREANDA-NEWS. Workday, Inc. (NYSE: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced that Centrica, a leading energy and services provider, has selected Workday Human Capital Management (HCM). Unveiled as part of its new global transformation strategy, Centrica will replace its on-premise legacy systems with Workday to position the company and its workforce for future growth and success.

With operations spanning eight countries and several brands, the company's leadership realised its multiple, on-premise legacy systems for HR lacked the tools and insights required to drive the business forward. Additionally, manual processes and low user adoption created a heavy burden for HR and poor visibility for the business.

With ambitious plans and a constant focus on driving synergies between employee engagement, client service, and business results, Centrica chose Workday to replace its on-premise legacy systems with one modern HR system in the cloud.

With Workday, Centrica plans to:

·      Help the business rapidly and cost effectively adapt to the changing needs of its employees and customers as well as new developments in the energy market.

·      Standardise HR processes worldwide to increase efficiencies as well as drive workforce engagement and productivity as it scales.

·      Equip business leaders with analytics that provide insight into employee skill sets and capability gaps in order to align its workforce with new customer needs, growth objectives, and market demands.

·      Empower employees and managers with greater mobile capabilities using an intuitive interface that enables them to easily access information and perform tasks whenever and wherever necessary.

·      Leverage continuous innovation from Workday's development on a single codeline delivered in the cloud. This ensures Centrica will always be on the most current version of Workday versus the costly and time-intensive upgrades of legacy systems.
