Unicaja has taken a decisive step by integrating Workday artificial intelligence into its talent management model. The objective is not only to optimize processes or automate tasks, but to build a more human and personalized experience for your entire workforce, aligning innovation, efficiency and well-being in the same direction.

A strategic alliance to promote efficiency and innovation

The incorporation of Workday technology will allow Unicaja to advance in the automation of key tasks, integrate in a unified way the processes that make up the life cycle of its personnel and strengthen the analytical capacity for decision making. The implementation will be carried out progressively, with the aim of better covering the needs of the professionals who are part of the bank and promoting closer and more flexible management.

With this move, the entity consolidates its commitment to an intelligent management model based on data, where AI acts as an efficiency engine and strategic tool for leadership teams. In an increasingly competitive environment, the use of platforms such as Workday becomes a differentiating element to attract and retain talent, optimize processes and improve decision making at all levels.

People, at the center of change

“The engine that drives our organization is people. This alliance with Workday allows us to continue building a more connected, efficient and human entity, significantly improving the experience of our staff,” highlights Juan Medina, general director of People, Organization and Legal at Unicaja.

Medina also highlights the importance of having a real-time view of staff data, which allows “better planning, greater operational efficiency and greater involvement of team managers, providing them with tools and autonomy to exercise their leadership effectively.”

For his part, Adolfo Pellicer, vice president and country manager of Iberia at Workday, points out that the company is “very proud to accompany Unicaja in this innovative project and its confidence in Workday solutions to boost its talent management.” Pellicer highlights that this collaboration reinforces the commitment to helping organizations build more human management models, driven by AI to be more agile and prepared for the future.

Advantages of management driven by artificial intelligence

Among the most notable benefits of this alliance is the reduction of average time in key people management processes and the minimization of errors and duplications thanks to the automation of data processing. Self-service is also promoted, so that each employee can manage their own services with greater autonomy, and managers are offered more complete visibility of their teams, facilitating more agile and effective management.

This comprehensive view not only optimizes resource planning, but also allows you to accurately measure staff performance and satisfaction. In the long term, the platform will help Unicaja integrate the planning, execution and analysis of its key performance indicators (KPI), strengthening its ability to respond to the challenges of the financial sector.

A people-centered management model

Beyond technology, the project reflects a profound cultural change within the organization. Unicaja’s talent strategy relies on digital tools that allow it to better understand its staff, promote their professional development and strengthen a collaborative and personalized corporate culture.

The bank seeks to ensure that artificial intelligence does not replace human decision-making, but rather enhances it. In this sense, the implementation of Workday is understood as a step towards a management model where AI and people work together to generate value, boost productivity and guarantee a more satisfactory work experience.
