Innovation is critical to the success of our customers and our company, which is why Workday invests big in innovation, recently announcing a $250 million fund for Workday Ventures.

At Workday, we’re always considering what we can do to help address the planet’s sustainability challenges.

All of us have purpose and passion for something. At Workday, some of us have channeled our purpose and passion into improving the environment. In this Q&A, Erik Hansen, senior sustainability manager at Workday, shares what participants love about the Workday Green Team program, why it’s important to appoint local leaders, and what team members around the world are doing in celebration of Earth Day.

Workday’s public policy agenda is determined by how well a particular policy empowers our customers and our employees. Jim Shaughnessy shares six policy areas Workday will focus on this year: intelligent technologies/AI, blockchain, free flow of data, privacy, cybersecurity, and inclusion.
