(NASDAQ: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced its latest workforce management innovations to support frontline workers and managers, including Workday Scheduling and Labor Optimization — an intelligent, worker-first scheduling solution that matches labor demands with worker preferences. With this solution, organizations can better optimize shift schedules and empower frontline workers with flexibility and control for when and how they work.

And while they make up a large portion of the overall global workforce, organizations struggle to recruit, support, and retain this critical segment during a time of unprecedented change. According to the recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report, a record 4.3 million workers voluntarily quit their jobs in August 2021, with nearly 40% representing frontline and hourly workers across healthcare, hospitality and leisure, and retail industries.
