Kada Cheong

I was born and raised in Macau. After graduating from high school, I went to mainland China to study, where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Management. Upon returning to Macau, I started my career in Finance Payroll, gaining over seven years of experience before transitioning into HRIS.

I currently work in HRIS, leading the go-live project for SAP SuccessFactors, with a focus on the Employee Central, Recruiting, Onboarding and Performance & Goals modules. This role has allowed me to enhance HR processes and improve user experience through effective collaboration and strategic implementation. My experience in this area positions me to deliver impactful HR solutions that align with organizational goals.

In addition to SAP SuccessFactors, I specialize in Workday HCM and ServiceNow development and configuration. My focus on the Recruitment Module within Workday has equipped me to collaborate on enhancements, deliver HR solutions, and drive process improvements. I am skilled in Custom Reporting (Advanced, Matrix), Dashboards, Business Processes (BP), EIB & Integration, and Domain & Security Group, all contributing to the continuous optimization of Workday systems. Furthermore, my expertise in ServiceNow enables me to support HR service delivery and automate workflows, enhancing operational efficiency and user experience.

With 15 years of experience, I have managed mass regional-wide payroll operations for over 10k staff members, playing a pivotal role in the pre-opening phase of Macau's JW Marriott & Ritz-Carlton Hotel. My solid background in corporate HRIS and payroll has honed my proficiency in all-round HR data management, system configuration, data analysis and visualization, making me adept at presenting complex Information System data with clarity.
