Case Study: Carlisle Homes achieves 33% faster job readiness and 23% higher performance engagement with Workday Adaptive Planning

Solving the skills crisis in the construction industry

Carlisle Homes, a medium-sized residential construction company, faced a skills crisis in a tight jobs market. With a highly decentralized workforce and multiple disconnected, reactive HR systems, the business lacked visibility into its people and struggled to onboard and engage staff quickly.

By implementing Workday HCM—using interactive, gamified e-learning for induction, rescripting KPIs, and centralizing people data—Carlisle cut new-hire job readiness from 12 to 8 weeks (33% faster), raised performance-review participation from 65% to over 80% (a 23% uplift), and established one central source of truth to inform better people decisions.
