Your work days are brighter here.

At Workday, it all began with a conversation over breakfast. When our founders met at a sunny California diner, they came up with an idea to revolutionize the enterprise software market. A culture driven by our value of putting our people first is central to who we are. Our Workmates believe a healthy employee-centric, collaborative culture is essential for success in business. We look after our people, communities, and the planet while being profitable. Feel encouraged to shine, however that manifests: you don’t need to hide who you are.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we combine in-person time and remote work. Our approach enables teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. Rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role).
