Transforming the Public Sector: A Major Step Forward for Workforce Management
Across the public sector, ensuring safe, productive and compliant workplaces is more than just a responsibility – it’s a mandate. That’s why leading agencies partner with Sodales – to modernize EHS, employee and labor relations systems, often through integration with existing backend platforms like Workday Core HCM.
The flexibility of our highly configurable app allows us to serve our clients on many levels, including our powerful analytical capabilities for site inspections.
When it comes to inspections – specifically how they are scheduled, conducted and evaluated – it’s clear that legacy systems often lack the structure, scalability and functionality required for long-term success. So, what’s the solution?
Let’s take a look at how Sodales helps our public sector partners find the answer:
From Complexity to Clarity
Prior to implementation with one such partner, the inspection process was, in a word – complicated.
The system they relied on was outdated, cumbersome and lacked an efficient end-to-end workflow. It was difficult for administrators and inspectors alike to navigate the mountains of data required to conduct evaluations.
Scheduling inspections – which follow a specific hierarchy of Building > Zone/Area > Floor – was anything but intuitive. Records were buried in long, unstructured lists that made it difficult to pinpoint exactly where or when evaluations were supposed to happen and there was no clear way for Health and Safety professionals to manage digital inspection checklists.
Put simply: it worked, but not well.
Building a Better Way Forward
That’s where Sodales stepped in – not just as a software provider, but as a partner in progress.
Together, we reimagined the inspections process from the ground up. The result? A streamlined, modern and intuitive system that reflects the realities of the company’s workflows – while also unlocking new capabilities.
Our software partnership allowed them to:
- Schedule inspections by building, zone and floor with ease – eliminating guesswork and boosting accountability.
- View inspection records by quarter and location, making it simpler to find what they need, when they need it.
- Upload and access attachments, like building maps and documentation – all in one place.
- Automate notifications so teams are alerted when evaluations are scheduled or overdue.
- Create and manage digital checklists, giving administrators full control over evaluation criteria.
- Track corrective actions in a centralized repository integrated with Incident Management capabilities.
- Support both digital and paper-based workflows, empowering field staff to report how and when they need to.
The result was a more agile, transparent and user-friendly inspections process that continues to make an impact on their everyday operations.
Powered by Workday, Extended by Sodales
Critically, this transformation was achieved without disrupting the client’s existing Workday Core HCM framework. Sodales integrates seamlessly with Workday, acting as an extended capability layer that draws from and feeds back into the system of record. This ensures:
- Real-time access to organizational hierarchies and job data.
- Unified employee files across HR, safety and labor relations.
- Seamless coordination of incident and inspection data with time tracking, accommodations and return-to-work plans.
By leveraging Workday Core HCM and Sodales’ policy-driven capabilities, this agency now operates from a single viewpoint – bringing together people, data and processes into one cohesive ecosystem.
A Commitment to Safer Workplaces
This go-live marks a powerful advancement not just in digital tools, but in operational culture. It reflects a shared commitment between Sodales and public sector leaders to protect workers, uphold compliance and ensure that health and safety aren’t siloed – but integrated across the entire employee experience.
We are proud to support the public sector in building safer, smarter and more resilient workplaces. Our platform extends Workday Core HCM with tailored capabilities that meet the evolving needs of high-risk, regulated environments – ensuring Sodales has a solution built for you.
