Beyond Business as Usual

Work is fun when you're surrounded by a diverse group of highly talented, motivated people. And since we spend a majority of a given day's hours at work, we want to enjoy our time there.

While we could share a long list of all the fun, cool things we do as a company, we don't really aim to be cool. Instead, we aim to foster an environment where our employees build lasting relationships with one another by working together on interesting and challenging projects-and burning off a little steam, at work as well as after hours.

Beyond business, Workday supports the interests of our employees in a number of ways:

• Workday Giving Program
• The Green Team
• Brown Bag Lunches
• Workday-sponsored sports teams
• Devil Mountain Run
• Maddie's Fund
• Wrokday

Workday Giving Program

In an effort to recognize the activities and causes that have special meaning for our company, employees, customers, and partners, Workday dedicates resources to support two special programs:

1) Workday in Action: An annual cause the company chooses to sponsor and support. In 2009, we ran, walked, and raised funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

2) Individuals in Action: Fundraising matches or gifts to non-profit programs or organizations in which our employees are personally involved.

The Green Team
Workday employees support sustainability as a critical success factor of business today. We've formed an organically grown Green Team that looks for opportunities to minimize our footprint. We purchase Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to offset the electricity consumption of our offices and data centers. We recycle where possible, have a blog dedicated to environmental advice and resources, and our headquarters building is LEED certified. Our Green Commitment

Brown Bag Lunches
A couple times a month, interested folks attend brown bag lunches where colleagues explain more about their teams or jobs, or where third-party service providers present useful information such as financial planning or the not-so-obvious functions of our phone system.

Workday Sports Teams
Our Workdaze men's soccer team is a powerhouse in the San Ramon Sports adult indoor soccer league. Our cycling team leads the company to work on national Bike to Work Day. Our basketball team enjoys Friday pick-up games. And our pool sharks do whatever it takes to beat Dave Duffield in quarterly tournaments celebrating Workday product updates. 

Devil Mountain Run
Workday has been the proud sponsor of the Devil Mountain Run for four years "running." This 5K and 10K event, the biggest race event in the East Bay, benefits the Children's Hospital of Oakland.

Maddie's Fund
Maddie's Fund was founded by Dave and Cheryl Duffield to support the creation of a no-kill nation for companion animals. Each year, Maddie's Fund gives Workday employees the opportunity to nominate their favorite animal charities for special grants. www.maddiesfund.org

Wrokday
Then there is our band...a group of people from all walks of the company: Development, Education, Services, Product Management, Operations. They entertain employees at social events and customers at our annual conference. For a bunch of techies, they sure know how to wrok!
