Case Study: First Central streamlines Finance and HR systems with Workday

How gaining deep colleague understanding supports ‘phenomenal’ growth

First Central, a fast-growing UK motor insurance company, needed to replace an outdated finance system and a patchwork of separate HR tools that were creating confusion for employees and managers. With rapid growth and a need for better control, configurability, and ease of use, First Central selected Workday, including modules for Financial Management, Human Capital Management, Payroll, Talent Management, Learning, and Expenses.

Workday unified First Central’s finance and HR processes into one intuitive platform, enabling greater self-sufficiency and easier day-to-day tasks for colleagues. The move away from spreadsheets and manual copying and pasting dramatically reduced error rates, while managers reported that their jobs became much easier. Workday’s support and customer community also helped First Central continuously improve the system.
