PLEASANTON, Calif., Feb. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced that it ranked #4 on Fortune’s list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.

Appearing on this list for the fifth consecutive year, Workday currently has more than 10,200 employees who have helped the company achieve a customer satisfaction rating of 98 percent.
Since day one, Workday has understood that a strong corporate culture would serve as the foundation for the company’s success. In order to build a company that would revolutionize the enterprise software market, Workday’s founders knew they needed to recruit, reward, and retain the very best people. To do this meant fostering an employee-first culture where people are valued, heard, inspired, and encouraged to bring their best selves to work.
“Our employees are incredible. It’s because of their contributions to our culture, products, and services that we receive recognition like this and the opportunity to help customers further their own efforts to be great places to work,” said Aneel Bhusri, co-founder and CEO, Workday. “As Workday grows, we remain focused on providing a workplace where people are excited about what they do, who they get to work with, and the positive impact they can make in the lives of customers and communities around the world.”
