Case Study: Workday achieves accelerated growth and team alignment with WorkBoard

Workday - Customer Case Study

Workday, a fast‑growing enterprise software company, faced the challenge of scaling its operations while keeping 12,000 employees aligned and focused on the outcomes that drive customer and business value. Senior leaders recognized the need to move from an output‑centric approach to a team‑based, outcome mindset and to harmonize team OKRs with individual performance practices without adding bureaucracy.

Workday launched an executive‑sponsored OKR program using the WorkBoard platform, localizing objectives at the team level, certifying 250+ OKR coaches, and embedding a quarterly cadence. The result was clearer alignment, stronger accountability and enablement across teams, a revived entrepreneurial focus on outcomes, improved collaboration and agility, and visible enterprise‑wide adoption of OKRs.
