Workday supports HR and finance through a single, unified platform that connects workforce data and financial data on one foundation. This allows organisations to align workforce planning with financial outcomes, improve reporting accuracy, and reduce manual processes across HR and finance teams.

Workday provides access to its core enterprise solutions in New Zealand, including:

• Human Capital Management (HCM)

• Financial Management

• Planning and forecasting

• Spend and expense management

• Talent and workforce management

• Analytics and reporting

• Professional services automation

• Contract management

These solutions are designed to work together on one platform rather than as disconnected systems.
