Country MD Kiv Moodley believes that the enterprise cloud applications provider's culture of collaboration and thought leadership aligns with the values associated with Executive Communities.
Workday, leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, was founded in 2005, and launched in South Africa in 2018. Since then, it has secured clients among the top echelons of South African business: Absa, Old Mutual, Webber Wentzel, Dimension Data, Altron, Barloworld, Pick n Pay, First Rand and Telesure.
From almost the point of Workday’s South African inception, it has partnered with Executive Communities. Workday’s core value proposition directly aligns with the strategic priorities of the C-suite finance, HR and IT roles, and so, its ongoing partnership with the CFO South Africa, CIO South Africa and CHRO South Africa communities, is a match made in business heaven.
Kiv Moodley, country managing director for Workday, is a firm believer in the power of executive community engagement. “Communities make it possible to network and connect with like-minded people,” he says. “Executive communities create a space to build relationships with other high-level professionals that can lead to business partnerships. “
He adds that executives in today’s business world face complex challenges, and believes that by engaging with peers, executives can gain fresh perspectives, advice and best practices.
“When executives engage with one another, it creates a space of collective intelligence, offering a platform where leaders can learn, connect, innovate and support one another,” he says. “We support all initiatives where we can learn together about the future of technology and offer our customers and prospective customers advice on how this can help move their organisations forward.”
Through Workday’s partnership with Executive Communities, Kiv believes that they have the opportunity to be part of these conversations. Over the years, some highlights of the partnership have included CFO Awards, CHRO Awards and CIO Awards sponsorships, where the Workday brand was associated with the achievements of exceptional executives, and HR Indaba and Finance Indaba Diamond Partnerships, showcasing their brand to thousands of professionals.
“As Workday, we realise the value of meaningful engagement and the power of networking. We promote a culture of collaboration and thought leadership, this perfectly aligns with the values associated with CHRO South Africa, CFO South Africa, and CIO South Africa,” Kiv concludes.
