Case Study: Avantor achieves real-time employee insights and stronger DE&I strategy with Workday

From the shop floor to the top floor, employees are heard—worldwide

Avantor, a global company with more than 14,300 employees, needed a simpler and more effective way to listen to employees as business pace accelerated. Its annual “monster surveys” no longer fit the need for faster feedback, stronger leadership accountability, and better use of employee input to support engagement, productivity, growth, and DE&I goals. Workday, which Avantor had used for about a decade, was identified as a potential partner with the Workday Peakon Employee Voice platform.

Workday implemented Workday Peakon Employee Voice to create a more continuous employee listening model with automated translations, flexible delivery channels, real-time data, and self-service reporting integrated with Workday tools like People Analytics and Prism. The solution localized assessments by geography and function, delivered real-time insights into improvement areas, reduced the HR burden, and cut months from analysis and action cycles. It also helped validate Avantor’s overall DE&I strategy.
