Alongside winning Workday’s flagship North American award, Sphera was recognized in Industry Awards for Rapid Time to Value
Chicago, IL – September 23, 2025 – Sphera, the leading provider of integrated sustainability and operational risk management software, data and consulting services, today announced it has been named a Customer Award winner at Workday Rising 2025, Workday’s flagship recognition program. The award was announced live from the keynote stage on September 17th in San Francisco.
This highly competitive honor is presented to only a select few organizations each year—typically no more than five among more than 11,000 of Workday’s customers—and celebrates exceptional innovation, impact and partnership with Workday. Sphera was recognized for its successful internally-led deployment of an additional Workday module, achieving enterprise-level results without the use of external consultants or a large in-house implementation team.
“This award is a testament to the agility, collaboration and commitment of Spherions globally as that is the culture we strive for and enjoy,” said Kimberly Kolb, chief human resources officer at Sphera. “As an HR team, we are proud to be recognized for what we’ve accomplished and how we’ve done it—with focus, efficiency and a strong partnership with Workday. With Workday’s technology, Sphera realized major cost and time savings and increased efficiency. This served to further Sphera’s mission of sustainability through operational excellence.”
In addition to the Customer Award, Sphera was also recognized with an Industry Award in the category of Rapid Time to Value at a separate Workday Rising event on Monday, September 15, further underscoring the company’s leadership and innovation in the sustainability and risk management space.
