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.

Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.

View company profile

At the heart of Workday is a culture dedicated to revolutionizing the enterprise software market. Founded in 2005 by software visionaries Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri, Workday was born from a desire to build a company that would transform how businesses manage their two most important assets: their people and their money. This mission began with a meeting at a diner where they resolved to create cloud-based finance and HR software that was agile, user-friendly, and capable of adapting to the evolving needs of modern enterprises. The company's values are deeply rooted in customer satisfaction, employee well-being, integrity, innovation, and fun. Workday fosters a collaborative environment where employees, or 'Workmates' as they are often called, are empowered to contribute their best work and drive innovation. This commitment to its people is reflected in its consistent recognition as a great place to work.

Workday's mission extends beyond just delivering cutting-edge technology; it's about partnering with customers to help them achieve breakthrough success. The company emphasizes a 'Power of One' philosophy, meaning one version of software, one customer community, and one codeline, which ensures all customers are on the latest version and can benefit from continuous innovation. This approach fosters a strong sense of community and collaboration among its users. Workday is also committed to doing good in the communities where its employees live and work, underscoring a broader sense of corporate responsibility. As the world of work continues to change, particularly with the rise of artificial intelligence, Workday is focused on evolving its platform to be the system of record for both human and AI workers, helping enterprises navigate this transition while maintaining human connection and driving growth. The company's culture encourages embracing change and looking to the future, ensuring that Workday remains a leader in providing solutions that help organizations elevate their people, supercharge their work, and move their businesses forever forward.
