Taking this strong partnership to the next level, the two organizations will deliver optimal digital HCM service offerings tailored to the local market. This includes:
- Co-developed, cloud-based, South Korea-specific HR applications on Workday Extend to satisfy the unique requirements of local organizations, for example with benefits and welfare.
- A one-stop shop offering to integrate Nexprime HCM Payroll, Samsung SDS’ payroll, and Workday Time Tracking.
