Why Woodard & Curran Switched Payroll Providers
With their prior payroll provider, Woodard & Curran never felt like a priority.
“We felt very much like the tiny fish in a very big pond,” says Rowena Holden, director of HR programs at the employee-owned engineering firm. “We weren’t getting the level of service that we felt we needed.”
That experience inspired them to switch to OneSource Virtual (OSV), where the difference was immediate. From their very first conversation, the team at OSV came ready to help Woodard & Curran map their journey. That partnership has only deepened over time.
From reactive to ready for anything
Because OSV works inside Woodard & Curran’s Workday tenant, the two teams can collaborate in real time, without screenshots or back-and-forth documentation.
“Being able to look at the same thing at the same time and problem solve — I don’t think it gets any better than that,” Holden says.
That foundation has changed how the company approaches growth. With approximately 1,300 employees across 38 states — and frequent acquisitions — the ability to scale without fear is essential.
“You don’t approach bringing in a new plant with fear anymore,” Holden says. “You’re like, great, where is it?”
