Case Study: PUMA achieves streamlined global HR and real-time people insights with Workday Adaptive Planning

PUMA streamlines global HR processes with one intuitive system

PUMA, the global sports brand headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany with over 13,000 employees, needed to modernize HR to support rapid product and market moves. Facing fragmented legacy systems, regional compliance requirements and rising costs, the company sought an intuitive, mobile-friendly HR solution that would streamline processes, improve employee experience and give leaders timely workforce insight.

PUMA implemented Workday as a single, global HR system, consolidating multiple systems, standardizing worker lifecycles and enabling self-service and mobile access. The result: real-time dashboards and reporting, automated back-office tasks, higher HR productivity without adding headcount, lower operating costs and faster, data-driven decisions—with strong user adoption across the business.
