Case Study: Kansai Airports achieves data-driven HR management with Workday HCM

Kansai Airports cuts HR working hours by 20% with Workday

Kansai Airports, a group of nine operating companies with approximately 4,000 employees, faced a challenge in optimizing talent allocation and supporting its new Job Posting Program due to a legacy HR system that kept data siloed across its group companies. To realize its data-driven talent management policy and support an increasingly diverse workforce, the company selected and implemented Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) as its foundational platform.

By implementing Workday HCM, Kansai Airports centralized its talent data, enabling data-driven organizational management. The solution reduced HR department working hours by approximately 20% by eliminating manual processes like exchanging Excel files for performance reviews. The company also achieved a 62% internal placement rate across 104 open positions in its Job Posting Program. Workday provided the crucial foundation for strategic decision-making and future plans to leverage AI.
