The combination of profound HR process knowledge on the one hand and deep application knowledge around Workday on the other hand were of great advantage for us. Furthermore, Mr. Stegmann was entrusted with preparations for global payroll harmonisation. The analysis he developed was very helpful and illustrated the options for action in this area.&#8220;<\/blockquote>\n<figcaption class=\"sp-by\"><strong>GEA Group AG<\/strong><span>Dennys Hartwig, Senior Director HR Technology &amp; Infrastructure, GEA<\/span><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"sp-quote\">\n<blockquote lang=\"en\">&#8222;HCM Advisory Service, represented by Mr. Oliver Stegmann, was a significant support in the implementation of various functionalities in the Workday tool for the HR department of our organisation in Germany.

Throughout the duration of the cooperation, Mr Stegmann always brought a great deal of commitment and experience to the discussions and was always available to provide us with advice and support.

A focused project review costs considerably less than ongoing programme governance across multiple Workday modules. HCM Advisory does not publish fixed rates: the starting point is a short diagnostic conversation that clarifies scope, after which a specific estimate is provided.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sp-faq\"><h3>How long does a typical Workday consulting engagement last?<\/h3><p>Duration varies by phase. A Cloud Readiness Check or programme review typically runs two to four weeks. Full deployment advisory runs in parallel with the implementation, which in most programmes spans six to eighteen months. Application Maintenance Service engagements are ongoing and structured around Workday&#8217;s two annual release cycles.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sp-faq\"><h3>What does a Workday consultant actually do during a deployment?<\/h3><p>During deployment, a Workday consultant reviews business process designs, advises on supervisory organisation structures, monitors programme governance and flags configuration decisions that carry long-term risk. HCM Advisory also supports cutover planning, user acceptance testing and go-live readiness checks.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sp-faq\"><h3>Can HCM Advisory work alongside our existing implementation partner?<\/h3><p>Yes. HCM Advisory is specifically designed to work alongside an implementation partner, not to replace one. Because the firm earns no implementation revenue, it can give objective advice on the partner&#8217;s delivery without any commercial conflict. This model is common in larger programmes where the client needs an independent voice in steering committee discussions.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sp-faq\"><h3>Which Workday modules and source systems does HCM Advisory cover?<\/h3><p>HCM Advisory covers the full Workday HCM suite, including core HR, payroll, recruiting, talent, learning, time tracking and integrations. On the source system side, the team has deep experience with SAP HCM and SuccessFactors migrations, as well as programmes moving from other legacy HR platforms.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sp-faq\"><h3>How does HCM Advisory handle works council requirements in Germany?<\/h3><p>Works council negotiation (Betriebsrat, Mitbestimmung) is a standard part of the firm&#8217;s DACH offering. The team has supported multiple Workday programmes through the co-determination process, advising on data privacy documentation, system usage agreements and the sequencing of negotiations alongside the technical deployment timeline.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sp-faq\"><h3>Is HCM Advisory able to support programmes outside Germany?<\/h3><p>HCM Advisory supports programmes across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and also advises on global and EMEA Workday deployments. The firm has teams in Portugal and India in addition to its headquarters in Bretten. Reference clients include organisations running Workday across multiple countries and regions.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sp-faq\"><h3>What happens after Workday go-live?<\/h3><p>After go-live, HCM Advisory offers an Application Maintenance Service covering application support under defined SLAs, release management for Workday&#8217;s twice-yearly updates, enhancement governance and ad hoc expert advice.
