Workday’s partnership aims to promote growth

Management software company Workday has announced a partnership with online fashion store THE ICONIC.

This partnership will reportedly promote growth and expansion for THE ICONIC, as it has adopted Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) as its primary HR platform. This will allow the company to boost engagement, automate processes, analyse people and promote flexibility.

“This transformation is an exciting opportunity to improve HR and employee engagement for a household name – a business focused on employees and customers that strongly aligns with our own,” said Jo-Anne Ruhl, vice-president and managing director for Australia and New Zealand at Workday.

“This new approach will allow THE ICONIC to continue moving at speed towards its goals. THE ICONIC joins other retailers, including Target, PUMA, Bunnings, and MECCA, who are modernising financial and HCM operations with Workday and replacing outdated legacy systems to ensure business agility which is crucial in this changing world.”

Since implementing Workday’s HCM, THE ICONIC has noted that it has been able to revamp and grow the HR function.

Chris Best, head of people experience at THE ICONIC, commented on the partnership: “As one of Australia and New Zealand’s most popular retailers, we are always looking to match our passion for an amazing customer experience with an amazing employee experience.”

He continued: “Workday HCM will help us do exactly that, helping to improve the experience of our team when engaging with people & culture (P&C) as well as reducing administrative burden. Already, we are seeing the ability to manage the change that comes with growth, more readily and more effectively.”
