Workday will take a turn in your strategy to focus on artificial intelligence and its international expansionalthough they have also confirmed that for this they will undertake a restructuring plan that entails the dismissal: 1,750 employees in total.
The company has already communicated the dismissals to the Bag and Securities Commission, and has alleged as reasons for this the focus on what it has called «Durable growth«. For now there are no details about the departments that will affect the dismissals or how many employees of each one. Of course, Workday has confirmed that both areas related to artificial intelligence and international markets become their priority, so it will continue to hire for them.
He CEO de Workday, Carl Eschenbachhas confirmed the changes to its employees in an internal statement, in which it has commented that «Everywhere, companies are reinventing how to work, and the growing demand for AI has a potential to give a new growth era for Workday«.
At the beginning of 2024, Workday had an approximate template of 18,800 employees, but in autumn its number had increased until 20,400, so the layoffs will leave the template again with the dimension it had at the beginning of last year.
In addition to focusing on AI, Workday has plans to accelerate its international expansion, with the aim of taking advantage of the growth in the demand for human resources solutions based on the cloud outside the United States. The company’s managers have not yet offered details of their objectives by regions.
But this does not mean that there are no locations that Workday will not close, since their intention to relocate resources may make them decide to close some offices to boost others in nearby regions. Therefore, International expansion can lead a geographical relocation for the company.
