Case Study: Meijer achieves streamlined HR operations and significant cost savings with Workday Adaptive Planning

Meijer improves efficiency with a flexible HR system

Meijer, the Grand Rapids–based, family-owned retailer with more than 250 stores and 70,000+ team members, faced inefficient, inconsistent HR operations caused by multiple legacy systems and custom bolt-ons with rigid workflows, limited self-service and poor reporting.

By adopting Workday as a single HR system, Meijer standardized processes, automated workflows, and enabled self-service and mobile access. The company retired 80 integrations, avoided a $1.5M upgrade, achieved 50% mobile adoption, cut new store structure setup from 12 weeks to 1 week, and realized roughly $960K in annual HR-efficiency savings plus $1M/year from improved onboarding, while simplifying reporting and speeding HR response times.
