Workday’s new head of product wants you to like Workday as much as he does

Today, I’m talking with Gerrit Kazmaier, the new president of product and technology at Workday, an enterprise software company. Decoder listeners probably know the name Workday; a lot of companies use its platform for HR and finance management, which the suits have started bundling into a phrase they call “human capital management.” I invite you to have whatever feelings you want about that.

Anyhow, if you’ve been applying to jobs lately, you have certainly run into Workday, and you are almost certainly frustrated with it.
