TOKYO and YOKOHAMA CITY, JAPAN – With the expansion of its global business, Nissan has been deploying Workday HCM globally to help standardize its HR processes. Nissan's HR system has been unified globally through Workday HCM, allowing the company to easily access HR data around the world and strengthen its talent pool and human resource diversity – a major factor for competitiveness.
"With Workday HCM, we can take a major step forward in enhancing the strategic capability of our human resources function," said Arun Bajaj, senior vice president in charge of Global Human Resources at Nissan. "We plan to integrate HR operations globally based on Workday best practices. The new system allows us to utilize real-time, global HR data to make human capital decisions that support Nissan's growth objectives."

"With Workday HCM, we can take advantage the latest technology and flexibility provided by cloud computing."
