Workplace.

Building an inclusive workplace.

At Workday, we believe that an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and belongs is the key to an enduring company with happy Workmates and satisfied customers and industry-leading products. Our unwavering commitment to Value Inclusion & Belonging for Everyone (VIBE™) is what makes our culture unique and serves as our guide for how we work together. We all play a role in VIBE by creating an environment centered on fairness and mutual respect. This includes engaging professionally with Workmates with different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and skills. By valuing inclusion and ensuring consistent opportunities for everyone, we foster a sense of belonging that makes Workday a great place to work.

While we believe sharing perspectives and open dialogue are important for connections, not all discussions and behaviors are appropriate in the workplace. Workday expects professional and respectful behavior at all times. Every Workmate has a responsibility to maintain a culture that is focused on our collective success and is free of harassment, bullying, bias, and unlawful discrimination of any kind.

Drug free workplace.

Workday strives to maintain a professional, drug-free work environment. Use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or unauthorized controlled substances, whether on or off the job, can detract from work performance, efficiency, safety, and health and seriously impair a Workmate’s contributions to Workday. Specifically, Workday policy prohibits:

  • Possession or use of an illegal drug or unauthorized controlled substance or being under the influence of an illegal drug or unauthorized controlled substance while on the job
  • Driving a vehicle while on Workday business while under the influence of alcohol, an illegal drug, or an unauthorized controlled substance
  • Distribution, sale, or purchase of an illegal drug or unauthorized controlled substance while on the job

Workday permits moderate consumption of alcohol by legal-age individuals at Workday-sponsored events. It’s essential that all participants exercise good judgment, maintain professional and responsible behavior, and adhere to any guidelines provided for the specific event. Attendance at Workday social events is entirely voluntary, and there should be no pressure on Workmates to consume alcoholic beverages if they choose to attend.

Health and safety.

Workday prioritizes the health and safety of all Workmates and individuals within our work environment. We foster a culture of safety consciousness, where everyone is encouraged to proactively identify and report any work-related injuries, illnesses, or hazardous conditions.

Workday maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward violence in the workplace. The possession of weapons is strictly prohibited at any Workday facility, event, or customer site. We are dedicated to ensuring a secure and respectful environment for all.
