Case Study: Ramboll achieves global talent visibility and rapid HR process changes with Workday Adaptive Planning

Ramboll gains global visibility, improving talent management

Ramboll, a Copenhagen-based engineering and consultancy firm with 13,000 employees across 250 offices in 33 countries, faced a fragmented HR landscape after rapid growth and acquisitions. Disparate local HR systems left leadership without a unified view of talent, making it hard to staff global projects, define common roles, or move people between countries efficiently.

Ramboll implemented Workday’s cloud-based HCM to create a single HR and talent platform (live in 14 months), giving a unified data core, a common language for roles, and flexible global processes that comply with local regulations. The change let HR move from reactive to proactive workforce planning, staff projects faster, and make process updates in about 30 minutes instead of two weeks—delivering better service with the same resources.
