Workday drives 89% close time reduction and 15% finance team efficiency

Organizations operating finance and human resources (HR) through disconnected systems incur escalating costs, fragmented data, and extended processing timelines that erode strategic agility. Customers interviewed by Nucleus stated that Workday’s integrated ERP and HCM platform addresses these challenges by consolidating core business functions into a unified system that enables automation, reduces redundant processes, and provides real-time data visibility. They reported efficiency gains, including an 89 percent reduction in financial close times, a 94 percent decrease in job posting time, and workforce reductions of up to 50 percent in accounts payable teams through automation-driven efficiency gains. One global restaurant chain reduced HR administrative tasks by 20 percent and increased finance team productivity by 15 percent. By unifying finance and HR operations, Workday enables organizations to eliminate system redundancies, accelerate critical processes, and allocate resources toward strategic initiatives rather than routine administrative tasks.
