Workday Adoption Success for a Global Healthcare Network

October 27, 2025 2 min read
Workday Adoption in Healthcare

In healthcare, every second matters. Nobody wants to click through five screens just to log patient data.

That’s exactly the problem this healthcare network faced after rolling out Workday across its hospitals and clinics. The system worked — technically. But users? They weren’t adopting it.

HR staff kept using spreadsheets. Managers struggled with scheduling. Nurses barely touched the new system. We stepped in to help make Workday easier, friendlier, and part of their everyday flow — not another admin task they dreaded.

The Challenge

The Problem with Traditional Training:

  • Healthcare isn’t a “sit down and learn” environment. Staff are moving constantly.
  • Six months of workshops and training decks failed to make learning stick.
  • Most of the staff didn’t know where to find step-by-step help for basic processes like time entry or shift swaps.

The organization desperately needed a solution that could bring Workday adoption directly into the user workflow.
