Energy Technology Company Unites HR Resources for Strategic Advantage
A leading energy technology company, the product of a merger and simultaneous divestiture, needed to streamline its Human Resources (HR) operations. Faced with the challenge of integrating two legacy organizations, company leadership took an innovative approach. They aimed to elevate the HR function from a tactical role to a strategic one, hoping to cultivate talent and gain insights that would drive future company success. Their solution was a Human Capital Management (HCM) system, built in partnership with Deloitte and Workday.
The company’s goals were clear: centralize data for easy access and analysis, harmonize processes across the organization, and enable self-service for employees. They chose Workday as the core of their initiative, selecting Deloitte to implement the system. Deloitte’s experience in the energy sector and their global perspective proved essential for managing the complexities of the project, which involved navigating multiple cultures, geographies, and industry groups. The rapid implementation, completed within eighteen months, speaks to the strength of the partnership.
With the new Workday solution, leaders gained greater responsibility over their teams. Complex HR processes were automated and simplified. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the solution provided a head start in transitioning to a work-from-home model, helping to foster collaboration and support. Managers were able to provide oversight remotely, enabling them to continue to focus on employees and their needs. Employees benefited from the ease to use the mobile app.
