KPMG Workday Practice

Our team includes various Workday Product Leads, as well as some of the very first Workday-certified Consultants in the country. Our Workday practitioners span the breadth of HR functional knowledge, technical know-how and blend the latest trends in HR service optimization with real-world knowledge and understanding of our clients’ industry challenges and opportunities.

Most recently, KPMG received the highest possible ranking of “Leader” among Workday implementation partners in the Forrester New Wave™ Workday implementation report from 2019.
