Wendy’s recipe for a high-quality HR transformation- Client Testimonial
Rich Isola :
This move to the cloud is really intended to be your last software implementation. The relationship that KPMG had with Wendy's really was summarized in two parts. There was leadership and governance that was truly an enabler, and then we collaborated aggressively and do that such that we're delivering the right solution the first time.
Coley O'Brien :
Myself, the CFO, the CIO were very active and hands-on as executive sponsors. We knew it was critical that we needed to work together to align, make those decisions, and then get the team going. One of the things though that I really appreciated about KPMG was they were willing to offer suggestions or ideas or maybe a contrarian point of view, all in the spirit of helping us get to a better solution or outcome.
Elise Baer:
KPMG's support in implementing Oracle HCM allowed us to go from multiple systems and a disparate data model to one data model and one system. We would not have been successful if the KPMG team did not bring their absolute best people and operated as a one-team mindset with our Wendy's organization.
Amy Woods :
We recognized that we needed some expertise in change management to make this implementation go well. KPMG was really helpful in bringing the outside thinking to how you structure a change plan and helping us craft our messaging to our identified audiences in a way that would be received culturally within Wendy's.
Stephanie Shaw :
Wendy's is a really special place. Our goals are to create joy and opportunity through food, family, and community. We found hands down that Oracle was the integrated solution that would unify our people. From my perspective, it's one of the best implementations I've been a part of. The way KPMG offers opportunities for Wendy's folks to grow their thought leadership and grow some of their skills is just amazing.
Suzie Thuerk :
We paid over 14,000 associates with that first pay run accurately and timely, and we also closed our books for the quarter end within our allotted period of time, and all of our integrations, journal entries and systems worked appropriately. So we were really excited about the goals that we achieved.
Coley O'Brien :
There was tremendous cross-collaboration between Wendy's, KPMG and Oracle to dramatically transform the systems that help really drive the employee experience for us at Wendy's.
