Workday highlights workforce tech in UK facilities management

Workday, a global provider of enterprise cloud software, has spotlighted the growing role of digital workforce management tools in UK facilities management, as businesses seek better visibility of labour costs, shift patterns, skills deployment and compliance tracking. The technology allows FM providers to match the right people to the right jobs in real time, reduce admin overhead and improve both service quality and employee experience across dispersed, multi-site operations.

For facilities management companies, the link between workforce systems and fleet management is often overlooked but operationally critical. An engineer dispatched to the wrong site wastes time and fuel; a vehicle breakdown that isn't visible to the scheduling system can mean missed appointments and penalty charges; and manual processes for mileage, expenses and emissions reporting add cost and error. Integrating workforce planning with connected fleet data delivers a step-change in efficiency and client transparency.

Businesses investing in platforms like Workday, ServiceNow or similar tools should also review whether their fleet technology can feed data into those systems. Real-time vehicle location, job completion times, driving behaviour and carbon per journey are all data points that improve decision-making and client reporting. The best results come from treating fleet as part of the digital ecosystem, not a separate back-office function managed on spreadsheets.
