Optimizing HR Efficiency with Workday and Sodales Integration
“In a remote and hybrid work setting, technology continues to have even more of a direct impact on the day-to-day work of employees and how they collaborate with each other,” says David Cearley, VP Analyst at Gartner. “Yet it is becoming increasingly important for HR leaders to plan for their technology investments with more caution than in years past, taking into account issues such as privacy and ethical concerns with the increased use of technology.”
Astonishingly, 90% of HR leaders still plan to either maintain or increase their investment in HR technology.
Integrating Sodales’ software with Workday offers a transformative approach to managing workforce data and compliance. This integration allows for seamless synchronization of data, where employee information from Workday is automatically updated in Sodales’ compliance software, eliminating manual data entry, and reducing the risk of errors. This ensures that all records are accurate and up to date, allowing HR teams to shift their focus from administrative tasks to more strategic initiatives.
The synergy between Workday’s robust HR functionalities and the advanced compliance tracking tools from Sodales significantly enhances compliance management. Organizations benefit from specialized reporting tools and dashboards tailored for HR compliance officers, helping them stay ahead of regulatory changes and manage compliance effectively. Additionally, this integration streamlines various HR processes such as onboarding, training, performance evaluations and grievance handling, ensuring these are executed efficiently and in compliance with both internal policies and external regulations.
Improved Decision-Making
Sodales’ integrated system, combined with Workday, revolutionizes HR management by harnessing a suite of advanced analytics and predictive capabilities. This integration enhances proactive handling of health, safety, employee and labor relations through detailed data insights, allowing HR teams to anticipate and address potential issues before they escalate. Such proactive measures not only promote a harmonious workplace but also mitigate risks significantly. These integration capabilities elevate decision-making processes within organizations. Executives and HR professionals are equipped with comprehensive analytics and reporting features that provide deep insights into workforce trends, compliance challenges and employee dynamics.
These insights enable more accurate forecasting and strategic planning, facilitating precise adjustments in policy and strategy in real time. As a result, organizations can optimize workforce management, reduce compliance risks and adapt more swiftly to changing business conditions. This data-driven approach doesn’t just support, but actively drives better decision-making, thereby transforming data into a strategic asset. This capability to make informed decisions quickly is crucial, as it enhances organizational agility and positions the company to capitalize on opportunities while mitigating potential setbacks effectively.
Cost Efficiency
By automating and integrating HR and compliance processes, organizations can achieve significant cost savings. Reduced manual tasks mean less administrative overhead and lower labor costs. Additionally, the improved compliance and minimized risk of legal issues result in fewer fines and legal fees, further contributing to the organization’s bottom line.
But let’s talk more about how Sodales works seamlessly with Workday.
Modernizing Disability Management with Comprehensive Support
Sodales delivers a ground-breaking approach to disability management that is designed to transform how organizations handle various leave types and related processes.

Each category is meticulously managed within Sodales’ system, ensuring that every aspect of employee leave is tracked and processed with precision.
In addition to managing traditional leave types, Sodales equips organizations with advanced injury reporting tools. They enable HR teams to track and analyze injury trends, facilitate faster response times to incidents and implement preventative measures based on real-time data. This not only helps in reducing workplace accidents but also ensures compliance with health and safety regulations.
With real-time analytics at their fingertips, HR professionals can make data-driven decisions that enhance employee welfare and organizational efficiency.

With Sodales, organizations can ensure that all employee requests for FMLA leaves are managed with precision, aligning strictly with federal regulations.
