Workday, an enterprise cloud provider for finance and human resources applications, has announced that Air Liquide, an industry leader in gases, technologies, and services, has successfully deployed Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) to digitally transform its HR processes and capabilities across Asia Pacific (APAC), with additional global deployments.

At Air Liquide, HR digital transformation was envisioned as a way to streamline both business and HR operations and provide a superior employee experience and engagement. To make this a reality, Air Liquide has deployed Workday to simplify its HR operations and have a single source of real-time data for its more than 11,000-strong workforce across 13 countries in APAC.

Through Air Liquide’s MyHR platform, employees can now use Workday’s mobile and self-service capabilities to more easily access information on teams, manage compensation, time entries, holidays, and time off. The platform also helps facilitate effective onboarding of new hires and provides true visibility across the entire talent acquisition process. Air Liquide is also using Workday Recruiting, Workday Talent Management, Workday Learning, and Workday Adaptive Planning.

With this transformative change, the French company, which was founded in 1902, will be able to overcome the challenges of working with decentralised HR processes associated with legacy systems. The move to digitally transform its HR capabilities is the first of its kind in Air Liquide’s long history and has been well-received by employees in APAC.

Following this successful deployment, Air Liquide plans to expand the implementation by replicating the same technology platform design across its global operations.

“We are a highly diverse and global business with employees coming from a range of backgrounds and cultures, hence having a single, unified HR platform enables us to build upon our inclusive culture,” said Yee Lin Chong, Head of HR Digital Solutions, APAC, Air Liquide. 

"Thanks to the power of technology on one central cloud platform, with Workday we are able to bring about better employee experiences and hope to strengthen our brand as an employer of choice, which is crucial amid the intensifying war for talent. Following the successful APAC deployment, we look forward to similar success with our counterparts in other geographies, and the plan is to replicate this globally, ensuring that Air Liquide will have one unified, consistent, and centralised HR platform worldwide.”

Added Sandeep Sharma, President of Asia, Workday: “Digital agility is instrumental in helping ensure business success. Only by adopting innovative technology solutions that unlock insightful data, can organisations make faster decisions and help their workforce reach its full potential in a rapidly changing world. We look forward to supporting Air Liquide’s continued growth through this trailblazing initiative which began here in Asia Pacific.” 

Air Liquide joins more than 4,150 global organisations which have selected Workday HCM.
