abrdn keeps all eyes on future investments

Abrdn, the global financial services firm managing £542 billion in assets with 5,000 employees across 80+ locations, needed to simplify fragmented HR processes and better support employees through major business changes. To do this, it turned to Workday Adaptive Planning as part of a broader Workday platform, alongside Human Capital Management, to create more connected workflows and improve planning and HR access.

Workday Adaptive Planning helped Abrdn unify workforce planning and streamline HR operations, while Workday Assistant automated common employee questions and self-service tasks. The result was faster, more efficient workflows, less time spent on repetitive requests, and a better employee experience; Workday Assistant was configured and deployed globally in just an hour, delivering a “massive impact” on employees and freeing staff to focus on innovation and client support.
