The current trend of human resources software is towards global. Every major human resources software vendor is trying to appeal to multinational companies looking to handle their global workforce through a single, cloud-based human resource system that can manage everything from payroll and administration talent and learning management. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts at Toronto had trouble transferring managers from one location to another and researching HR when they open new hotel. This is because they did not have certain standardization of compensations and they too much relay on paper-driven systems. Today, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts are enabled to check compensation information on anyone at specific property as well as locations employees want to work in the future by using Workday's a global human capital management system. Moreover, Four Seasons' managers and employees working at the properties around the world will be allowed to use the system in various languages.
