Pros

Workday HCM has been an amazing and consistent human capital management solution.
The features of Workday HCM are easy to understand.

Cons

I do not have reasons to dislike Workday HCM.
Workday HCM is superb.

Pros

I have only recently started using Workday, but it seems like a good tool that allows many integrations and therefore the feeling for the end user is that it is a comprehensive tool.
Beyond the standard HR information one might need (salary, time off, etc.), my skills profile (from the recruitment stage) is integrated with the skill-building systems (courses, etc.) and the mentoring platform of the company.
Another couple of feature I found useful (especially as a new starter) were the admin assistance chat, also integrated within the platform and the org chart.
Logging in is made easy and they offer an app.

Cons

Nothing major negative to report at this stage.

Pros

Its Complex and I like the way it shows up visually and functioning wise

Cons

I don't like some of the formatting in the task section

Pros

Ease of use - the app on my phone is great!

Cons

Delegating tasks can be tricky - it isn't as intuitive as some of the other functions and features.

Pros

Workday HCM is praised for its user-friendly interface, comprehensive functionality (covering HR, payroll, talent management), and real-time analytics for data-driven decisions. It offers global capabilities, making it ideal for multinational organizations, and self-service features that empower employees and managers. The system is cloud-based, ensuring easy access and automatic updates, and supports customization to fit unique business needs. With strong security, integration capabilities, and robust support, Workday is a scalable and flexible solution for modern HR management.

Cons

complexity for new users, requiring extensive training, and time-consuming customization. It can be expensive, with high licensing and implementation costs, and has limited reporting flexibility. Large organizations may experience performance issues, and integration setup can be challenging. The mobile app is less intuitive, and long implementation times can delay deployment.

Pros

It is a one stop platform, it helps to easily view and download payslips, check comments from supervisors, easy to use.

Cons

The password protection is good, however asking for otp for every step kind of gets a bit annoying. Other than that great to use.

Pros

Dedicated local Workday HCM experts ensures comprehensive and tailored assistance. It also integrates seamlessly with popular software tools platforms making work easier and enjoyable. Automated invoicing streamlines financial tasks, saving time and energy on such tasks. It is also a perfect solution for remote and global teams.

Cons

We find Workday HCM to be user-friendly and intuitive to navigate on the employee and manager side alike. However, additional charges apply for specific advanced features such as onboarding automation.

Pros

All requirements in one place, and more. Meaning we were able to centralise and transform (in an agile way) our HR processes as we implemented.
Alerts allow for end users to engage and be engaged with using a sensible approach.
All data in one place allows for reporting and budgeting to be easy.

Cons

Implementation was sticky for us. We had a number of requirements which we thought were typical however had to create significant work-arounds in order to meet our needs. This was resource heavy from our perspective and elongated the implementation (we used an implementation partner and not Workday FYI)

Pros

it's exceptionally well built for user configuration with it's highly flexible drag and drop customisation "out of the box"

Cons

it can be very "click heavy" to complete a workflow and having two browser windowns open with workday at the same time can cause glitching.

Pros

It can be used globally. The user interface and usability is easy to understand (similar to Facebook's interface), the ability to customize, the different modules and features it supports. The tool is always evolving as the company has 2 releases every year.

Cons

It is created for the US by the US. It does not accommodate for international laws and compliance resulting in us having multiple tools to support international countries.

Pros

Workday makes payroll tracking easy and its puts more responsibility on employees to keep track of their hours worked relieving the demands of the administration staff.

Cons

I can't think of any negatives to report.

Pros

In simple terms, Workday HCM is more than enough for me. I have enjoyed it's flexibility in usage, customization, integration and implementation too. There is reliable content out of its analytics. Automation is a great way to save time and improve productivity and accuracy. Workday HCM is an empowering tool.

Cons

None. I honestly find no cons for Workday HCM. It is working well for us.

Pros

We are a non-profit organization. Our entire business model is based on supplementing the very low fees we charge our clients with donations from generous individuals and companies. These donations are contingent upon us maintaining compliance as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. There are simply too many regulations and annual changes to payroll statutes for any of our current staff to keep abreast of, and hiring a staff member with the necessary knowledge and skillset is cost-prohibitive. Workday, in essence, gives us that new staff member. For significantly less than an employee would cost, we are able to operate with full confidence that all of our needs are being met.

Cons

The initial implementation was fairly intensive. However, once we completed that phase, we have had no complaints about the time or effort involved in using Workday.

Pros

From an employee's perspective, it's incredibly intuitive and easy to use. The mobile support is excellent. It greatly enhances the convenience of HR tasks like payroll, leave management, performance tracking, and organizational charts.

Cons

From a user's perspective, there are no real drawbacks. The functionality and design are both excellent. However, from a company's standpoint, the cost can be a burden depending on the organization's size.

Pros

It is pretty easy to navigate through once you have done it several times.
It auto fills your work days, so unless your work week changes, it is very fast to submit your work time.
I really like that everything (payroll, vacation, etc..) are all in one location.
I like the option of being able to use on my work computer or personal phone

Cons

Although I know it is a good idea, having to use the authenticator is a little bit of a hassle. I am not sure if it is my phone or the app. but occasionally I have to restart my phone to get the app to open.

Pros

Workday HCM is a well designed, cloud-based HR management platform that simplifies everything from payroll to talent management. The interface is intuitive, though navigating some advanced features can take time to master. Its mobile accessibility is a standout, making it easy for employees and managers to handle tasks on the go.

Cons

Custom reporting can be a bit complex for non-technical users, but the ability to export and import from excel make this easier.

Pros

Track and editing time is a breeze. Payslips, bonuses, and taxes are all individualized.

Cons

I believe the only thing that i think is missing is being able to use workday to email the HR department of my work directly from this app.

Pros

1. Fabulous interface
2. Multifunctional dashboard
3. Smooth navigation
4. Supports quick self troubleshooting

Cons

1. A bit heavy tool
2. Hard to integrate external software

Alternatives Considered

Switched From

Pros

I love that I can easily see and print my paystubs, lessons are easy to find and watch and show a due date so I know when to complete my work, and the app is super user friendly!

Cons

I have no complaints using workday. I've used workday when working for 3 different companies in the past and have never encountered a problem.

Pros

Easy of use to enter information into. I like how it links to Outlook also.

Cons

I'm not sure. I haven't used a lot of it's features yet.

Pros

Very little. My experience of Workday implementations are that they are over engineered, and seem to exist for the sake of the ego of executives rather than the users

Cons

Too many obscure fields, and too few relevant fields. Too many clicks to achieve anything

Pros

We use Workday HCM at the moment, and it is very powerful, linking talent management, holidays, payroll and benefits. We recently merged systems with another company's systems, and this was tricky but worked well in the end.

Cons

I dislike the fact that Workday will time out annoyingly quickly if you are writing something like a staff review, losing your work irrevocably. I believe this may be a setting changeable by our IS team, but the cloud-based nature of Workday means that it can be fragile to bad connections etc. We have also not yet been able to integrate it into our ADP system for parts of the business, so some managers can't approve leave if their employee works in a different location.

Pros

Great learning classes for understanding day to day operations or specific lessons. It was super easy to learn with videos and powerpoints to handle a Senior CSR role.

Cons

Nothing in particular stands out as an awful elemtn. Perhaps it could categoriuze more useful portions together like the lessons and less common sections like the birthdays in another area?

Pros

It helps to manage workforce and Human Resources (HR) of the business.

Cons

It is a tool which doesn't support complicated integrations.

Pros

The design is clean, and easy to use, making it easy to find what I need. I like the fact that I can perform tasks on my desktop or phone, this come in very handy when traveling. Features like tracking time off, viewing my pay stub, and managing my team are all in one spot saving me time.

Cons

Sometimes the system is slow. Finding certain reports and understanding them can be cumbersome for me, because I'm not familiar with HR tools as a manager of people.

Pros

The major pillar is optimizing financial resources and plan for the future effectively. The support offered is unmatched giving personalized solutions for the entire business. Also, no surprises in pricing, it is quite transparent. It is a user friendly system which has made payroll processing easier.

Cons

Editing should be improved. It is difficult to go back to already saved data and edit them.

Cons

Not many, workday has always been a useful tool for employers and employees needing to access important information regarding pay and other financial inquiries.

I really did not have any I use it daily for what I need .

Cons

Initial learning curve can be made simpler for non-power users
