The last 18 months have brought challenges and opportunities for the financial services industry — whether it is market fluctuations, interest rates, or return on investments — requiring financial services organizations to adapt quickly to keep pace with a highly-regulated environment. This includes the need for new technologies that help provide improved insight into business operations in order to identify and mitigate risk and digitally transform time-consuming and budget-draining processes and functions such as financial reporting and accounting.
To keep pace with ongoing industry change, financial services organizations are increasingly adopting Workday to digitally transform finance and HR processes and attract and engage the next generation of financial and insurance services talent.

With Workday, customers can plan across the entire business by pulling in data sets from multiple banking and financial institution sources, as well as insurance and investment management systems.

- Support the evolving workforce.TheWorkday Human Capital Management (HCM)suite of applications provides real-time people insights in order to attract and retain talent and helps maximize engagement by creating a more seamless employee experience. In today’s challenging hiring and retention environment, organizations are able to view pay equity dashboards and use compensation analysis tools to combine components from regular pay to merit, bonus, and stock pay for a more competitive and comprehensive rewards program. For example, with Workday HCM, Unum was able to reduce the compensation planning cycle from 20 to 12 weeks. The company was able to launch a globally consistent merit process deploying built-in, real-time dashboards that capture external compensation data to support equitable compensation across the organization.

This helps simplify transaction processing, giving time back to get to richer financial and operational reporting faster.
