Case Study: Yahoo! achieves global workforce insights and strategic HR agility with Workday

Providing Critical Insights Into a Global Workforce

Yahoo!, a global leader in internet search and digital media with ~14,000 employees across 30+ countries, faced an aging on‑premise HR system that was clunky, fragmented and provided poor self‑service and slow, unreliable analytics. Because data lived in multiple systems and upgrades were costly and time‑consuming, HR couldn’t quickly answer executive questions or act as a strategic partner to the business.

By adopting Workday Human Capital Management (and Cloud Connect for payroll), Yahoo! moved to a SaaS platform with modern usability, global language/currency support and regular vendor updates. The result: a single source of workforce truth, faster, better analytics, higher manager and employee engagement, and freed HR capacity to drive more strategic talent decisions—helping Yahoo! attract, retain and better leverage its global workforce.
