Case Study: Airbus achieves 15-minute HR onboarding and 45,000 annual e-signatures with Adobe Sign (Adobe)

Airbus streamlines HR document workflows using Adobe Sign within Workday

Airbus, the global aerospace leader with 134,000 employees, faced slow, paper‑based HR workflows across multiple countries and hundreds of localized document templates. The company needed a single e‑signature solution that integrated seamlessly with Workday, reduced template complexity, supported remote HR operations, and ensured GDPR and local compliance.

By integrating Adobe Sign into Workday and consolidating roughly 400 country‑specific templates to about 20 each, Airbus streamlined HR document generation and storage, launched e‑signatures in four countries, and processed 15,000 HR documents with 45,000 e‑signatures annually. The solution cut onboarding signature time to about 15 minutes, provided tamper‑evident audit trails and secure storage, and improved efficiency, tracking, and the employee experience.
