Challenges.
Before Workday, Marel didn’t have a core HR system; it used various local point solutions, Excel spreadsheets, and manual processes. Finding basic information, such as its total number of employees, was difficult.
When a new, data-oriented CEO came onboard, Marel decided that it needed one simpler, smarter, and faster HR system for its global organization. The company was also looking for a system that would help it design and roll out new HR policies and programs related to talent management, workforce planning, employee engagement, HR technology, and processes. After evaluating solutions, it chose Workday.
Workday has been a real lifesaver for us. Workday has a 98% customer satisfaction rate and we are definitely part of that group of happy customers.
