Workday is establishing an APAC International Advisory Board (IAB) to help senior business decision-makers understand the critical role the employee experience plays in creating organisations that are ready for the future of work.
As Asia Pacific solidifies its role as a frontrunner in the global economy, the focus of C-Suite leaders and board members across the region is on transforming the customer experience. However, to truly enable innovation and growth, leaders at the highest levels must recognise that it’s just as critical to transform the employee experience.
In today’s workplace where we have up to four generations side-by-side, the quality of the employee experience has a direct effect on the bottom line.
In support of this, Workday is establishing an APAC International Advisory Board (IAB) to help senior business decision-makers understand the critical role the employee experience plays in creating organisations that are ready for the future of work.
The Workday APAC IAB will feature highly experienced, external senior executives from across Asia Pacific, who will provide insights into their respective industries, share experiences and expertise and help guide Workday’s APAC strategy. They will also act as mentors and advisors to the Workday APAC leadership.
Marianne Perkovic, one of Australia's top corporate financial leaders, has been appointed to the Workday APAC IAB as its inaugural member. Marianne brings a wealth of experience in senior executive and leadership roles with organisations such as the Commonwealth Bank, KPMG Australia and Insignia Financial, and as Chair of the Australian Fashion Council.
Marianne said, "I’m delighted to be part of the Workday APAC International Advisory Board. The Commonwealth Bank was an early adopter of Workday in Australia and as an executive sponsor of the program, I saw the power of the platform first-hand. That lived experience made it easy to demonstrate to other leaders in the business the benefits a comprehensive Workday rollout brings to the employee experience and overall business."
"In my role on the Workday APAC IAB, I look forward to sharing my experience and collaborating to create new opportunities for Workday and help customers manage their two most important assets – their people and their money."
The Workday APAC team extends a warm welcome to Marianne. We look forward to working closely with her to enable the future of work in APAC and beyond.
This regional initiative also builds on Workday’s recent announcement of joining the Fortune 500 list, ranking us amongst the largest U.S. companies by revenue. This recognition supports our belief that Workday’s growth comes from our customers' growth, and we are focused on delivering meaningful business results to our customers across industries and around the world.
Stay tuned for additional updates on additional Workday APAC IAB members as they are appointed.
