People management at Astara was carried out with various local solutions. This fragmented approach has led to the need to unify and offer a single experience to all employees, regardless of country. Now, processes are seamless and transparent, allowing real-time access to the organization’s organizational chart and making it easier to research any aspect related to professional experience at Astara.

This solution aims to simplify and optimize the employee experience, reducing the number of applications required and improving access to key information, all with a focus on facilitating the daily lives of staff and maximizing time spent on what really matters.
The rapid implementation of Workday HCM, in a record time of 9 months in its 19 countries, was decisive in Astara’s decision, thus demonstrating its agility and its determination to integrate the overall management of the company’s employees into a unique experience. Its intuitive interface, accessible from any device and its strong data security, in addition to its numerous features, have made Workday HCM the ideal solution compared to other options on the market.

When we embarked on this project, we did not want to settle for just any platform, we were looking for an innovative platform. , which will help integrate all the information from our teams, combining the analytical and predictive capability of Workday with its ease of use for the end user. In this way we will promote the management of our internal talents based on data which in turn allows. us to offer the best value proposition to our teams,” says Rocío Rufilanchas, Director of Human Resources and Sustainability at Astara.
