Case Study: Coventry Building Society achieves simpler, more efficient UK payroll with Workday

Modern, intuitive, fast meet the new face of UK payroll at Coventry Building Society

Coventry Building Society needed a faster, more intuitive UK payroll system that would free the team from manual work and make it easier to manage changes in-house. By switching to Workday Payroll for the UK, the organization aimed to improve efficiency, support rapid user adoption, and give payroll staff more control over their processes.

Workday implemented Workday Payroll for the UK along with tools like the Workday Community portal and Sandbox tenant for safe testing and configuration. Coventry Building Society says the change was “night and day,” with much greater efficiency, quicker learning, and the ability to own system updates internally. The team also gained more time to focus on higher-priority work and could test and promote payroll changes without relying on third parties.
