Case Study: Ingevity achieves 39% HR efficiency improvement and consolidates 4 systems into 1 with Workday Adaptive Planning

Ingevity boosts efficiency with a flexible and scalable HR system

Ingevity, a specialty chemicals and high‑performance carbon materials manufacturer headquartered in North Charleston with operations in 25 locations worldwide, needed a unified HR system to modernize its back‑office environment and deliver an intuitive UX/UI for a global workforce. The company sought a proven implementation framework to replace fragmented, rigid systems and reduce long query and transaction times.

By deploying Workday Human Capital Management, Ingevity consolidated four siloed systems into one flexible cloud platform, insourced support, and automated key HR processes. Results included a 39% improvement in HR efficiency, query times cut from weeks to two days, 91% mobile adoption, streamlined onboarding/compensation/payroll processes, and real‑time reporting that improved talent visibility (30% talent card completion, 33% profile completion) and decision‑making.
