Local Authority Will Leverage Workday to
Modernise Operations and Enhance Delivery for Over 260,000 Hull
Citizens
LONDON, Jan. 14,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Workday Inc. (NASDAQ:
WDAY), a leading provider of solutions to help organisations manage
their people and money, today announced Hull City
Council has selected Workday Human Capital Management
(HCM) and Workday Financial Management to transform its
digital operations.
Hull City Council is the local authority providing public
services for the city of Kingston
upon Hull, employing over 5,000 workers to deliver value to its
260,000 citizens. The Council provides over 400 services to
residents, including education, social care, housing, planning and
waste management. To connect its range of functions and extensive
workforce, Hull City Council chose Workday as its technology
partner. The organisation will leverage Workday's unified suite of
products to enhance efficiency and productivity, enabling staff to
focus on delivering more dependable services and benefits for the
residents of Hull.
"Our people are our most valued asset. We believe in making it
simple for them to manage their personal information, process
professional data, and maintain accurate council records,"
David Bell, Director of Finance,
Hull City Council. "Workday will allow us to do that by bringing
all our data and information together on a single platform,
providing us with the visibility we need to make informed decisions
faster. This is about more than just efficiency – we are giving our
employees the tools they deserve, unlocking actionable insights,
and ultimately, enabling ourselves to deliver better services for
the people of Hull."
The Council previously managed its resources through an
e-business suite solution that struggled to scale with the
organisation. This led to a reliance on time-consuming
administrative duties based on disparate spreadsheets and manual
tasks. To boost productivity, improve asset visibility, and gain
new insights, the Council needed a comprehensive suite of products
to meet its evolving needs.
Empowering People, Amplifying Impact
Workday HCM will help Hull City Council optimise its people
functions and processes, while also providing a seamless and
engaging employee experience. The Council's business leaders and
managers can access valuable next-level insights, enabling
data-driven decisions about talent development and strategic
workforce planning. The platform will provide a single,
user-friendly system for its HR needs, from recruitment and
onboarding to talent management and payroll. By streamlining these
processes, the Council can improve efficiency and reduce
administrative burden, allowing its workforce to focus on
delivering value to Hull residents.
Achieving Financial Clarity and Efficiency
Workday Financial Management will provide comprehensive
financial visibility and control to the Council. The suite of
products will streamline essential financial processes, including
budgeting, procurement, and accounting, leading to increased
efficiency and reduced costs. With real-time data and advanced
reporting capabilities, the Council can make more informed
financial decisions, manage its budget effectively, and maintain
compliance with all relevant regulations. This enhanced financial
management will contribute to greater operational efficiency and
better resource allocation across the Council.
"Whether in the public or private sector, organisations who want
to maximise operations need visibility into their most important
assets: their people and their money," said Daniel Pell, CEO, UKI, Workday. "By leveraging
the power of Workday, Hull City Council will gain unparalleled
insights into its HR and finance functions. This will enable them
to improve efficiency, optimise resources, and deliver exceptional
services to citizens."
