Case Study: Ferring Pharmaceuticals accelerates internal mobility and learning with Workday Talent Marketplace

Ferring Pharmaceuticals rolls out Workday Talent Marketplace in under eight weeks

Ferring Pharmaceuticals, a research-driven biopharmaceutical company, faced the challenge of fostering a culture of continuous learning and development while also gaining greater agility in managing its global workforce. This need became more urgent during the pandemic. The company was already a customer of Workday, using several of its applications, but lacked a way to connect employees with recommended development opportunities.

By implementing Workday Talent Marketplace, which leverages the Workday Skills Cloud, Workday provided a solution that matches employee skills and interests with short-term projects, learning content, and full-time jobs. This allowed Ferring to democratize opportunities across the entire company. The results included faster project execution by uncovering previously hidden internal talent, the ability to advance initiatives despite a hiring freeze, and empowered employees who could proactively pursue career growth and gain visibility.
