Arne-Christian van der Tang:	TomTom is a truly entrepreneurial company. The culture is so strong when it comes to taking risks, seizing opportunities, recognizing opportunities in the market.
Mairead MacLure:	TomTom is best known for the navigation devices, or PNDs, in-car. But that's just one part of the story. We have award-winning fleet management systems, sports products, and traffic information, and work closely with all of the automotive partners in terms of their infotainment systems. Our global workforce is comprised of approximately 5,000 employees spread across 37 different countries around the world. We selected Workday for a number of reasons.
Arne-Christian van der Tang:	What we were looking for was a system that was as intuitive for employees and candidates as TomTom products are.
Mairead MacLure:	When we first started demoing the system for HR and for some managers and different groups within the organization, there were little light bulbs going off all over the place. I think every person from an HR executive perspective has walked into a meeting with a set of data that you thought was fit for a purpose and were faced with different questions. Being able to actually walk in with the ability to have that set of data, but then drill down into it as they ask those questions is an incredibly powerful position to be in.
Arne-Christian van der Tang:	Providing our management board and leadership of the TomTom organization with reliable data, but mostly with reliable analysis and understanding of the data, has a great impact on business decisions.
Mairead MacLure:	Personally, I'm really excited about the easy user experience that our managers and employees are going to have, to be able to just go in on their phone and book their vacation, for managers to give feedback on interviews, for them to ask for feedback from a performance perspective—to do all that whenever they need to do it from wherever they are.
Arne-Christian van der Tang:	As an employee, to go in there and see everything about me and to learn about my learning opportunities and my career opportunities—having access to that data and having the feeling that the experience has been built around me. And I think it shows our employees that their contribution and also their personal growth is, in fact, personal to us. We recognize ourselves in the company culture and the company DNA, the drive for innovation. We're not just buying the current solution. We're actually buying future solutions and the innovation. We have the greatest confidence that Workday moving forward will continue to innovate.
Mairead MacLure:	There's quite a lot of excitement about the future potential, the ability to continue to drive different types of innovation in the organization and continually improve what we're doing.
Arne-Christian van der Tang:	It's my job as an HR leader for this company to be thinking ahead. And make sure that we're not only future-proof, but we are starting to lead the way.
