Case Study: Norconsult achieves $460,000 in savings and streamlined global HR with Workday

Norconsult Embraces HR Disruption Head On

Norconsult, a Norway‑headquartered multidisciplinary consultancy with ~3,800 employees in 97 offices worldwide, faced fragmented HR systems and no single source of people data. Multiple tools for performance, recruiting and learning left HR reconciling outdated information, relying on spreadsheets to map skills, and bogged down in administrative tasks instead of strategic work.

Norconsult implemented Workday Human Capital Management with focused change management and self‑service to automate onboarding, offboarding and core HR processes. The single system delivered clear visibility into employee competencies and major efficiency gains — $460,000 in first‑year savings and ROI 56% above projections — including $120,000 from onboarding/offboarding, $280,000 from reporting/self‑service, $60,000 in manager time value, and large reductions in cycle times for compensation changes, job requisitions and promotions.
