A Workday Case Study
ALK, a Denmark‑based pharmaceutical leader in allergy immunotherapy with about 2,300 employees across 20 countries, faced fragmented HR systems after years of organic growth, acquisitions, and mergers. With more than 19 HR applications, 10 payroll processes and inconsistent country-level practices, the company needed a single, global HR platform to provide real-time data, reduce manual work, and enable data-driven decisions.
ALK implemented Workday (HCM, Cloud Connect for payroll, and Time Tracking) in a seven‑month deployment, on time and on budget, achieving 80% adoption. The unified system delivered one source of HR data, standardized global processes, faster, more transparent decision-making, greater HR strategic impact, and easier reorganizations and acquisitions—empowering managers and improving operational agility.
