Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we're combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so 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). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

About Workday
Workday is a cloud-based software vendor that specializes in human capital management and financial management applications. Headquartered in Pleasanton, Calif., Workday was founded in 2005 by Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri, former executives at PeopleSoft, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software vendor later acquired by Oracle. Workday is a pioneer in software-as-a-service business applications, and Workday software has often been recognized for its ease of use and quick implementation, compared with on-premises HCM and finance applications. The company does not officially consider itself Workday ERP, but it is widely considered to be in direct competition with ERP vendors, including Oracle and SAP. Over the years, Workday has added other components of HCM, talent management and finance to its suite, and it released versions for specialized markets, such as higher education and government. Workday Student, targeting higher education, came out in 2013, while Workday Recruiting arrived in 2014 and Workday Learning, a learning management system, became available in 2016.
