Streamlining HR Operations Across 400+ Locations

A prominent U.S. retail chain operating in over 400 locations was grappling with disjointed HR processes and legacy systems that lacked integration. Manual data entry, inconsistent employee records, and siloed platforms were slowing down HR operations and exposing the company to compliance risks. The HR team struggled with on-boarding delays, reporting errors, and a growing lack of visibility into workforce performance.

Recognizing the need for a robust and scalable solution, the client partnered with us to implement Workday. Our goal was to deliver an enterprise-grade HR system that could unify operations across locations, ensure data accuracy, and empower the HR department with real-time insights and automation.

Our Approach

We led a full-scale Workday HCM implementation tailored to the client’s retail operations. This included custom workflows for recruiting, onboarding, and employee lifecycle management. Our team integrated Workday with third-party payroll and scheduling systems to eliminate redundancies and ensure a seamless flow of data. We also conducted training sessions to improve user adoption across regional HR teams, ensuring that every store was aligned with the new digital HR ecosystem.

The Impact

Within months of going live, the organization experienced a 40% reduction in onboarding time and significant improvements in data consistency. HR staff reported fewer errors and were able to generate accurate reports in minutes instead of hours. Compliance processes became more streamlined, and leadership gained real-time insights into workforce trends. With a centralized system in place, the company now has the flexibility to expand operations without operational bottlenecks.

  • Faster Onboarding
  • Centralized Data
  • Improved Compliance
  • Scalable System

This implementation not only addressed the client’s immediate HR challenges but also laid the foundation for sustainable growth. With Workday as the backbone of their HR infrastructure, the company is now equipped to make data-driven decisions, enhance employee experience, and maintain compliance across all locations. The transformation was more than just technological - it was a shift toward a future-ready HR operation.
