One of Mayor Erin Mendenhall’s first priorities in office was to address the many pain points in the City’s financial and human resources systems, policies, and processes. Shortly after taking office in 2020, the Mayor wasted no time assembling a cross-department committee to not only implement a brand new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, but also actively support employees as the City undergoes this historic change.

Workday is a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system that is Salt Lake City’s primary tool for managing financial, human resources, and payroll data.

The ultimate goal of implementing Workday is to simplify the City’s complex web of 30+ financial and human resources systems and replace them with one single platform: Workday. This will result in common data structures and business processes, more efficient reporting, and better transparency.
