Workday manages trivago's HR matters

Trivago, the global hotel search platform, has selected Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) to provide the organisation with a cloud-based HR solution that is capable of providing one single source of truth for employee data, while empowering HR leaders and managers with better insights to make faster, more accurate decisions. 

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany, trivago’s 1,300 global employees will benefit from Workday’s HR self-service approach, providing them with an intuitive and modern user experience across all devices. The deployment, which is scheduled for completion in Q2-Q3 2017, will see trivago transform day-to-day HR processes, such as compensation, absence management, time tracking, recruiting, expenses and performance and development.

As of September 2016, trivago’s global hotel price comparison search platform offered access to approximately 1.3 million hotels in over 190 countries: the website now operates in 55 markets around the world, and the company has 3,000 employees.

Workday Human Capital Management will allow trivago’s leaders to have complete confidence in its people data and that the tool will support the company’s future growth.

“We needed an HR solution that provides the technological platform for a single, always up to date database – a solution that is flexible and especially scalable as we grow. We found this in Workday which was a 'company fit' from the very beginning. It is fantastic and also new for us that we’ll be able to use the system no matter where our people are or which device they are using, thanks to Workday’s mobile capabilities, “ says Sian Williams, Business Operations & Strategy – Talent Solutions at trivago.

“Trivago is a leading global travel brand that has changed the way people search for and book accommodation. It’s a business built on providing real-time pricing and information. We are thrilled to be working with them as they apply this same principle to their people,” said David Hope, President Workday Asia Pacific.

“With Workday, trivago will have better insights into their people and the business; this will help attract, engage and retain staff. It will also make HR more strategic and provide managers with the information they need to make the right decisions.”
