Case Study: Cardinal Health achieves better talent management and HR efficiency with Workday Adaptive Planning

Cardinal Health brings talent to the forefront

Cardinal Health, a large healthcare distributor and services company, needed a more modern way to manage HR and talent across its global workforce of more than 34,000 employees. After evaluating traditional ERP options, the company chose Workday Adaptive Planning’s broader Workday platform, including Human Capital Management, Talent Management, and Payroll and Workforce Management, to improve employee engagement, job fit, and HR efficiency.

Workday Adaptive Planning helped Cardinal Health create a single, cloud-based system for HR that made talent management a living, ongoing process instead of an annual event. The solution improved access to employee data, sped up HR transactions, simplified integration of acquired companies, and strengthened payroll automation. Cardinal Health reported better talent attraction and retention, fewer errors, faster decision-making, and more efficient HR operations across the business.
