THE CHALLENGE

The organization needed expert support to stabilize operations

Following its Workday HCM go live, the organization experienced persistent challenges with Time Tracking and Payroll that impacted day to day operations and increased pressure on internal teams. More than 36 support cases were opened over a three month period, highlighting the need for immediate stabilization and ongoing expertise. The organization partnered with The Groove to quickly address critical issues, improve system performance, and establish a more stable, reliable foundation for payroll processing and workforce management. 

THE SOLUTION

The Groove's Application Managed Services

Eastern Shipbuilding Group partnered with The Groove to strengthen and optimize some of its most business critical Workday functions. Through responsive, consultative support spanning integrations, reporting, payroll, benefits, leave, and configuration, The Groove helped improve operational continuity, reduce risk, and increase confidence in the systems supporting ESG's workforce.

The engagement also strengthened ESG's readiness for critical payroll and compliance reporting across both state and federal requirements. By supporting Florida SUI file generation, quarterly state filing integrations, W-2 processing under tight deadlines, ACA reporting configuration, and year end system readiness, The Groove helped reduce manual effort, improve reporting accuracy and reliability, and provide greater confidence in the processes behind high stakes compliance obligations.
