Case Study: Skookum improves job matching and cuts costs with Workday Adaptive Planning

Skookum turns real-time insights into meaningful opportunities

Skookum is a national leader in hiring veterans and people with disabilities, operating in 12 states plus Washington, D.C., with about 1,400 employees (over 75% with a disability and 33% veterans). Facing a sector-wide gap in employment for people with disabilities, Skookum needed a unified, real-time view of people, projects, and costs so site managers could better match employees to roles, address individual challenges, and maintain transparency with customers.

By adopting Workday’s integrated Finance and HCM suite—plus projects, time and attendance, payroll, and talent tools—Skookum gained dashboards, a balanced metric scorecard, and hour-level labor visibility that tie into its asset management system. The result: more accurate job matches, proactive on-site support, the ability to scale headcount without adding support staff, hundreds of thousands saved in time-tracking costs, improved bid competitiveness, and maintained or reduced SG&A-to-revenue.
