Outdated HR Tech Costs U.S. Government $1 Billion Annually, Workday Report Finds

A new report by Workday (NASDAQ: WDAY) reveals that outdated federal HR systems cost the U.S. government nearly $1 billion each year in lost productivity. The study, based on a survey of federal HR leaders, shows that nearly half of their time is spent on manual processes and system errors, while only 48% of agencies consider modernization a priority. Workday urges the adoption of automation, analytics, and secure digital solutions to improve performance and reduce inefficiencies across federal agencies.
