Seatrium employs more than 24,000 people worldwide and operates across multiple geographies, where projects require specialised skills to be deployed across disciplines. As the company expanded, it identified the need for a unified platform to support workforce planning and talent management at scale.
Workday’s solution introduces embedded artificial intelligence (AI) tools that allow Human Resources (HR) teams to automate processes and access workforce insights.
By automating tasks such as absence approvals and onboarding (including identity provisioning), manual errors are reduced and employee experience is improved. AI capabilities within the platform can also flag data inconsistencies and identify emerging skills across the workforce, allowing teams to focus on more strategic work.
“In a fast-evolving industry like ours, getting a clear view of our people’s capabilities allows us to deploy the right talent to the right projects, drive performance, and future-proof our organisation. Workday isn’t just a system, it’s a catalyst for cultural and operational change,” says Lim Shih Hsien, executive vice president for Cyber IT & OT at Seatrium.

With a unified view of workforce data, Seatrium is better positioned to support cross-functional collaboration and long-term workforce planning, and to respond more quickly to changing project demands.
The deployment is part of Seatrium’s broader digital transformation efforts, which include investments in technologies such as 5G connectivity and AI-enabled operational platforms.
Jess O’Reilly, general manager for ASEAN at Workday, says: “Seatrium’s transformation highlights how organisations operating in highly complex environments can use data and AI to rethink how they manage and deploy their talent. We’re glad to support Seatrium in building a more agile, resilient, and insights-driven workforce for the future.”
