Case Study: Cardinal Health achieves stronger talent attraction and retention with Workday

Cardinal Health - Customer Case Study

Cardinal Health, a Fortune 500 company with about 34,000 employees that supplies pharmaceuticals, medical products, and clinical services, needed a unified, agile HR platform to attract, retain, and deploy talent across a complex, acquisitive global business. The company sought to replace fragmented, slow HR processes with a single source of truth that could support real-time talent management, payroll, and faster integration of acquired employees.

Cardinal Health implemented Workday Human Capital Management in 2010 and moved to a unified cloud platform (with Workday Payroll scheduled for January 2015), gaining integrated HR, talent, and payroll functionality plus mobile access. The change delivered a single employee record, faster HR transactions, living talent profiles and performance processes, smoother acquisitions, improved payroll automation, and stronger talent attraction and retention—freeing HR to be more strategic.
