And how can we give people more time back for what really matters? Our curiosity led us to create something new—a finance, HR, and planning system that evolves as business evolves, and a company that’s out to do right by employees, customers, and the world. We partner closely with our customers to understand their needs. Then we innovate like crazy to give them the technology to get there. Together, we’re shaping the future of work. In a world that’s always changing, you need a system that helps you adapt. See how a single finance, HR, and planning system from Workday is helping organizations of all sizes meet the future with confidence. Our core values guide everything we do. Our core values give us a framework for leadership and daily decisions, and help us enjoy our time at work. Sounds so simple, but too often companies get caught up in politics, ivory-tower attitudes, and market mania instead of focusing on the things that probably made them successful in the first place. The following core values and beliefs define what’s important to us at Workday: Employees Most fundamentally, people are the core of our business. Without them, we would not have a business. We hire the best and expect great accomplishments. Customer Service Every investment and decision we make has our customers in mind, and we pull out all stops to make the satisfaction of our customers paramount.
