Our Values

Our core values guide everything we do.

Our core values give us a framework for leadership and daily decisions, and help us enjoy our time at work. Sounds so simple, but too often companies get caught up in politics, ivory-tower attitudes, and market mania instead of focusing on the things that probably made them successful in the first place.

The following core values and beliefs define what's important to us at Workday:

Employees

Most fundamentally, people are the core of our business. Without them, we would not have a business. We hire the best and expect great accomplishments.

Customer Service

Every investment and decision we make has our customers in mind, and we pull out all stops to make the satisfaction of our customers paramount.

Innovation

We aim for innovation not only in our development organization but also in the way we approach all aspects of our business.

Integrity

We say what we mean, and mean what we say. We stick to our commitments, treat everyone equitably, and communicate openly and honestly.

Fun

We also feel it’s important to have a sense of humor. We like to laugh—it makes our work that much more enjoyable. We also invest in community and company events that help our employees and their families feel a connection to Workday beyond business as usual.

Profitability

Long-term economic success is what helps us provide employees and customers with the best productivity tools, solutions, and services. While important, profitability is not why we exist. Simply put, at Workday we exist to make and provide great products and services.
