Scaling Workday Teams for Mid-Year Growth: Flexible Staffing to Match Demand

Explore Our Workday Partnership!

As businesses move into the second half of 2025, scaling operations to meet new goals, deliverables, and customer expectations becomes a top priority. For Workday customers, this means navigating a complex intersection of growth initiatives, system enhancements, and workforce strategy, particularly with the upcoming Workday 2025R2 release scheduled for September 20, 2025.

Mid-year growth doesn’t wait for ideal circumstances. It demands agility, technical precision, and the right team to keep Workday initiatives on track and aligned with evolving business goals. That’s where flexible solutions come into play and where BGSF delivers strategic value as both a Workday Services and Deployment Partner.

Growth Demands Agility—Especially in Workday Environments

Scaling during mid-year isn't about hiring more people. It's about bringing in the right people with the right skills at the right time. Workday customers often face challenges during this period, such as:

• Preparing for semiannual feature releases like Workday 2025R2

• Managing post-implementation workloads

• Backfilling internal staff assigned to special projects

• Accelerating digital transformation or new module deployments

• Supporting finance, HR, and IT as they prep for year-end reporting

The complexity of Workday’s integrated ecosystem requires deep expertise, especially when scaling to meet new demands. That’s where flexible solutions and consulting support come in.

Tapping Into Specialized Workday Talent Pools

Rather than take on long-term headcount or delay critical initiatives, many organizations are turning to consulting and flexible staffing partners to provide Workday-certified talent. This model allows teams to:

• Access niche expertise (e.g., FDM, Financials, HCM, Adaptive Planning, Extend) 

• Meet urgent deadlines tied to audits, compliance, or fiscal close 

• Supplement internal teams during large-scale configuration or testing efforts 

• Implement new modules or support business units without disruption 

• Stay current on the latest Workday features and functionality 

Whether you're launching a major initiative or need extra support to optimize your tenant, flexible staffing provides the agility to move forward with confidence.

What's Coming in Workday 2025R2 (Fall Release)

The upcoming Workday 2025R2 release, scheduled for September 20, 2025, will introduce updates that can significantly impact how organizations manage their HR and Finance processes. While full release notes are expected closer to the date, companies should prepare for:

• Usability enhancements to drive self-service adoption 

• Expanded AI and machine learning capabilities to improve reporting and forecasting 

• New compliance and localization features for global operations 

• Performance upgrades that impact tenant configuration and integration 

Preparing for this release requires testing, change management, and often reallocation of internal Workday SMEs. Having external experts on hand can help ensure a smooth transition and user adoption.
