Bank Pembangunan Malaysia (BPMB) has successfully deployed Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) as part of the bank’s continued digital transformation. 

One of Malaysia’s development financial services institutions, BPMB provides financial assistance to enterprises in the industrial and commercial sectors.

BPMB embarked on an accelerated digital transformation journey, deployed using Workday Launch, to advance their operational excellence and strategic growth in line with their Group Agenda 2025.

By swiftly implementing a customisable HCM package, within just 4.5 months, they ensured both a timely and cost-effective deployment. This streamlined approach not only shortened the time to realise value for BPMB, but also helps set a strong foundation for their future.

By leveraging Workday solutions, the organisation has been able to significantly enhance its talent management processes, resulting in an improved employee experience for greater productivity and retention levels.

Sainursalwa Sani, BPMB’s chief human resource officer, said the changes and dynamism seen in the market landscape requires businesses to have the right systems in place that can be agile in enabling and supporting business leaders to be decisive in their strategic planning and execution. 

“The implementation of Workday has already yielded very promising results for us so far,” she said. “This includes the streamlining of our daily operations, reducing our manual efforts, and enhancing the overall employee experience.”

Since deploying Workday, BPMB has enhanced the efficiency of its operations, reporting that over half of HR tasks that were previously manual and time-consuming are now automated, reducing the risk of human error.  

The reporting capabilities within Workday allow for more timely and accurate insights and facilitate effective workforce planning. Additionally, BPMB is able to reduce data fragmentation, making it easier for staff to access, consolidate, and analyse information.
