Case Study: Deloitte Ireland achieves scalable HR for rapid growth and €125K FTE savings with Workday Adaptive Planning

Deloitte Ireland better serves its people while supporting rapid growth

Deloitte Ireland, a professional services firm of around 3,000 employees, faced rapid growth—rising from 1,600 employees in 2015 to nearly 3,000 in 2019—which exposed limits in its legacy HR systems and hindered its ability to attract, retain, and develop talent at scale.

By implementing Workday HCM, Deloitte Ireland gained a single, scalable HR system with secure integrations, audit trails, and employee self-service, plus real-time reporting and people dashboards. Early results include €125K FTE avoidance in year one, 80% payroll reporting, faster hire/leaver setup (73%/82%), 67% handling of leave of absence, 92% completion of performance reviews, a 25-minute reduction in new-hire onboarding time, and talent-review preparation cut from 1.5 weeks to 4 days.
