In 2016, Bose implemented Workday Absence Management. The deployment was part of the company’s broader Workday HR footprint and addressed absence workflows under the Absence and Leave Management category, operating from Bose Corporation’s Workday Applications team in Stow, Massachusetts.
Workday Absence Management at Bose was configured to manage absence functionality alongside payroll and expense capabilities, with explicit emphasis on business process configuration and reporting.

Operational coverage extended across HR, payroll, and Centers of Excellence stakeholders, with the Workday Applications team providing ongoing maintenance and configuration ownership. The team supported the SaaS model for Workday, performing testing and support activities tied to twice annual Workday upgrades and ongoing functional adjustments.
Governance and rollout relied on internal advisory and CoE relationships, with analysts acting as trusted advisors to recommend new functionality and lead end-to-end configuration efforts.
