Workday / HCM Systems Specialist demand questions for Brazil

1

Why are Indian GCCs hiring dedicated in-house Workday specialists instead of using consultants full-time?

Once implementation is complete, GCCs find it more cost-effective and process-consistent to have an in-house team own business-as-usual configuration, security, and release testing rather than continuously engaging external consultants for routine changes.

2

Which India cities have the most Workday HCM systems specialist roles?

Bengaluru and Hyderabad lead, given the concentration of GCCs, including Walmart Global Tech, Target India, and multiple banking captives, that have completed Workday implementations and now need steady-state in-house ownership.
