Case Study: Fugro achieves centralized talent management, improved retention, and measurable diversity with Workday

Fugro Enhances Talent Management, Centralizing Control to Drive Diversity

Fugro, the world’s leading geo‑data specialist with about 11,000 employees across 60 countries, faced a fragmented HR landscape: roughly 200 separate entities relied on spreadsheets and payroll systems for employee records, leaving data out of date and making recruitment, training, and diversity goals difficult to manage. As part of a digital strategy, the company needed a single, centralized solution to better recruit, retain, and develop talent.

Fugro implemented Workday as a globally managed, mobile‑friendly HR platform, consolidating HCM, recruiting, learning, and analytics. The change delivered real‑time visibility into skills, headcount, and diversity, standardized HR practices and data governance (supporting GDPR), improved retention and succession planning, and gave managers quick access to CVs, compensation insights, and training pathways.
