    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Human capital management FAQs.

    What is human capital management?

    Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) is an enterprise cloud platform designed to streamline and unify HR operations across the entire employee lifecycle—from recruitment and onboarding to payroll, talent management, and workforce planning.

    In Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), Workday HCM serves as a single source of truth for workforce data, helping organisations navigate local labor complexities, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver a modern employee experience.

    HCM consists of a core HR database, skills intelligence foundation, configuration tooling, process automation, workforce management, recruiting, talent, learning, benefits, and more.

    In Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), an effective HCM framework integrates core HR operations with strategic talent management and local workforce compliance—such as Single Touch Payroll (STP Phase 2), Fair Work Ombudsman awards, and the NZ Holidays Act.

    Look for object-oriented data models and systems that infuse best-in-class technology as well as ones that utilize skills ontologies and personas.

    The goal of human capital management is to provide scalable and adaptable tools for businesses to manage, empower, and unlock the potential of their people.

    Workday HCM is adaptable, flexible, scalable, and global, and includes Workday Skills Cloud—the world’s most open intelligent skills foundation—to fuel all your data-driven talent strategies.

    Human capital management is important to any company because an organization’s business value and competitive edge are ultimately enhanced when employees’ talents are developed and nurtured.

    [HCM is more specialized while ERP is more broad; HCM projects carry lower risk than ERP]

    Workday HCM is adaptable, flexible, scalable, and global, and includes Workday Skills Cloud—the world’s most open intelligent skills foundation—to fuel all your data-driven talent strategies.
