Case Study: Tulsa County achieves faster public service and 50% shorter payroll processing with Workday Adaptive Planning

Unified system frees up time and resources to better serve the public

Tulsa County, a public sector organization serving more than 650,000 citizens, struggled with siloed, paper-based HR and finance processes that slowed payroll, reporting, and responses to public requests. The county needed a more efficient way to manage employee data, audits, and grant tracking, and turned to Workday Adaptive Planning-related Workday cloud applications, including Workday Financial Management, Workday Payroll, and Workday Talent Management.

Workday Adaptive Planning and Workday’s integrated cloud system helped Tulsa County replace manual workflows with self-service tools and real-time reporting. The results included cutting payroll processing time by 50%, reducing report generation from days to on-demand, and saving 100,000 pieces of paper from HR and finance processes, while also making audits and public information requests much faster and easier.
