Late afternoon on New Year's Eve, an urgent issue surfaced that needed resolution before midnight. Our client needed help—and one of our Workday consultants stepped up immediately. He wasn't even a usual consultant for this client. He just answered the call when it mattered most. That's what being a Workday Hero is all about: showing up, staying calm, and delivering solutions when teams need support. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eH9zx8qB

Job searching can feel like a full-time job on its own—especially when you're navigating application portals, waiting on feedback, and wondering which opportunities are actually active. That's where a recruiter becomes more than just a connection. They become your partner in the process. A good recruiter helps you understand what employers are looking for, prepares you for what to expect, and keeps your candidacy moving. They also have insight into roles that may not be widely posted yet and can help you focus your search instead of applying broadly without a clear strategy. The key? Communication. The more responsive and transparent you are, the easier it is for your recruiter to advocate for you and find opportunities that fit. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eErPZV_g

Commissioning sits close to the finish line—but it's far from a formality. This is the phase where a data center facility gets tested under real operating conditions. A facility may look close to finished, but commissioning is what proves whether it can perform as intended. The challenge? It requires more than technical familiarity. It requires people who can troubleshoot under pressure, communicate clearly, and understand how mission-critical systems are supposed to work together. For employers, commissioning is often the phase where workforce planning becomes most visible. If the right talent isn't in place when testing begins, schedule risk can build quickly. That's why commissioning staffing should begin before the project reaches the final phase. The earlier project leaders plan for specialized support, the more room they have to find the right people and adjust to schedule changes. Need commissioning talent before go-live? Talk to a data center staffing specialist at The Planet Group. https://lnkd.in/e86uzANM
