Learn how MSS has helped Managers so far...

Director of HR Systems

Eleni Chatzivasiliou

"MSS supports our P&C vision to provide true strategic value to the business. It empowers our managers to perform tasks online that previously required HR assistance. This enables us to now make data-driven decisions in real-time, and helps us with our digitalisation journey to become more efficient and automated."

Head of Enablers

Pau Gay

"As managers, we gain more control with MSS. We don't need to reach out to our HR BP for every transaction we do and can head to Workday to start the process ourselves. We’re now more autonomous and empowered to initiate actions."

Engineering Manager, TnT Serenity

Kent Remi Gabrielsen

"Being a growing team in a dynamic organization, the need for updating our team’s details is a recurring task. With the Manager Self Service tools in Workday, we’re now able to do adjustments and update information quickly, helping us to avoid unnecessary bottlenecks."
