Workforce Skills & Competency Management Platform Integrated with Workday HCM
Connecting skills, roles, and learning data to enable real-time workforce intelligence and faster L&D execution.
At a Glance
McKinsey’s research shows that just 30% of organizations integrate skills data into strategic workforce planning, creating an opportunity for those investing in unified HCM and learning ecosystems to lead the next wave of workforce transformation.
As a leading HR-tech company that focuses on skills & competencies management for talent upliftment, faced challenges while integrating such platforms due to scattered data ecosystem and manual & periodic interventions.
We addressed these challenges by leveraging our integration expertise to unify the disparate data ecosystem and conducting detailed Workday HCM & Learning API analysis, including data field mapping, which enabled seamless connectivity with the client’s skill competency platform.
