Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhard (BPMB) accelerates its digital transformation with Workday HCM to enhance operational efficiency.

Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (BPMB) has successfully implemented Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) into its operations as part of its broader digital transformation strategy. This move aligns with the bank’s Group Agenda 2025, aimed at advancing operational excellence and strategic growth.

In a swift deployment process using Workday Launch, BPMB implemented the customisable HCM package within just 4.5 months.

The phased implementation has resulted in an improvement in employee experience, productivity, and retention.

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