Case Study: English Schools Foundation unifies HR and streamlines hiring with Workday

English Schools Foundation unifies HR for 3,000 employees across 22 schools with Workday

The English Schools Foundation (ESF), Hong Kong's largest international school provider, faced challenges with fragmented legacy HR systems. These manual processes consumed time and provided unreliable data, making it difficult to plan strategically. To support its vision of becoming more agile, aligned, and accountable, ESF selected Workday Human Capital Management (Workday HCM) to unify its people processes and data.

Workday implemented a unified HR platform that streamlined processes and created a single source of truth for people data. The deployment of Workday HCM and Workday Recruiting, supplemented by Workday Paradox for AI-powered hiring, simplified recruitment and gave recruiters more time for strategic tasks. As a result, ESF shifted from reactive administration to strategic, high-value work, gaining real-time visibility into its workforce to better anticipate needs and focus on coaching and culture.
