PLEASANTON, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 27, 2016) - WORKDAY RISING -- Workday, Inc. (NYSE: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced the availability of Workday Learning, an application that offers a personalised, meaningful learning experience for organisations to encourage career development at every stage of the employee lifecycle. Leveraging a consumer-like approach with recommendations and leading-edge video and user-generated content capabilities, Workday is reimagining professional learning to help companies improve employee engagement. Built into the core of Workday's unified suite of applications, including Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) and Workday Financial Management, Workday Learning extends customers' ability to cultivate their workforces and enables them to better align employee development and workforce productivity to drive better business outcomes-all in a single system.

Learning Designed for Ever-evolving Individuals and Organisations
Today's constant rate of change and disruption has forced companies and institutions to reinvent themselves in order to keep pace, prompting a transformation of people, cultures, and entire organisations into adaptable enterprises. Workday Learning was created to meet the evolving needs of organisations and employees with a personalised approach to learning and development, similar to the experiences sought out with consumer technologies. With greater parity between personal and professional learning, people can learn at work as they do in their everyday lives in a more engaged and productive manner. As a result, employees can benefit from broadened skillsets, additional growth opportunities, and greater control of their career paths while organisations become more change-ready and able to retain their best people and close talent gaps, ultimately boosting their bottom line.

Customers using Workday Learning, including early adopters CareerBuilder, Commerce Bank, Hootsuite, McKee Foods, TalkTalk Group, and Unum Group, benefit from:

• Peer-to-Peer Learning: Utilising the latest collaboration and social learning technologies, Workday empowers people to consume as well as create and share content anywhere, any time, and on any device. By doing something as simple as shooting and sharing a video tutorial using their smartphone, employees can foster a more interactive community that promotes learning, teaching, and coaching across all levels within the workforce.
