Challenges.
With Eon Chemicals growing across Indonesia and other parts of Asia, existing systems were creating administrative burden and did not support internal talent development efforts. Business leaders lacked insights and any changes to the reporting framework needed external support.
Why Workday.
Eon Chemicals wanted to transform their HR and Finance operations and manage the business in an agile manner and drive continued talent development. With the power of a single platform to provide agility and insights into its people and finances, Eon Chemicals selected Workday to support the next phase of its business growth.
