Case Study: Elekta achieves standardized HR, 105% HR efficiency improvement and €3.5M FTE savings with Workday Adaptive Planning

Elekta standardizes HR processes, gaining more time for patient care

Elekta, a Stockholm–based leader in precision radiation medicine with about 4,000 employees, faced fragmented HR processes and Excel‑based recordkeeping that made even basic reporting slow and unreliable — a head‑count report took more than a week and was outdated on delivery — limiting HR’s ability to act as a strategic partner to the business.

Standardizing on Workday as a single HCM gave Elekta one source of HR truth: 20 systems were retired, HR efficiency improved by 105%, and €3.5M in FTE costs were avoided/reduced. Onboarding time dropped from 20 to 7 days (saving €760K annually), acquisition integrations fell from six months to one month, organizational-change time shortened by eight weeks, and 100% of employees now use goal management, enabling faster, data‑driven decisions that free HR to focus on supporting patient care.
