Christos L
Senior Compensation Analyst
4.0

Christos: My name is Christos. I am a senior compensation analyst, and I work for Braze Incorporated. And the headcount, I can give as well, which is 1,500 employees. Workday HCM, I would give a four out of five. Workday HCM is used for our payroll services within the company as just a generality. We use it to keep track of leave of absence, time off, bonus requests, just various different HR systems, things that we need. However, now we are using it to store salary bands, and that's more of where I come into play, where we're building out bands and storing them within job descriptions and job profiles within each individual employee and department. I just really enjoy the user-friendliness of the platform. It's really easy to navigate between the landing pages. Even for the compensation team, we have our comp dashboard, which allows us to pull this various reports that we're looking for, so that's very helpful and intuitive. But even as a user of just even being an employee of the company, it's very easy to go through my compensation, my pay history, my pay stubs, my bonus cycles, even just my managerial tree. It's an easy to navigate system, which I can appreciate. Especially if someone hasn't seen it before, it's easy to teach. I'm not necessarily the systems expert when it comes to loading in data and whatnot, but we do use a separate system for our comp cycles, which I understand can happen in Workday. However, from my experience, the reason why it wasn't a five out of five is just the way that the two systems read off each other. For me, Workday, even though it's intuitive when it comes to loading data, it's very fickle in certain circumstances since I've used it for the last three years, and I would just like to see a little bit more improvement in being able to be more modified towards these new systems that we're using, like the AQMS and the Oracles. I just found it rather difficult to... It's been the same for a while. I'd like to see a little bit more uplift when it comes to the loading of data. However, with that being said, I know there's room for improvement just from the platform's perspective on that, from a system side.

Molly N
Digital Designer and Social Media Coordinator
5.0

Molly N.: Hi, my name is Molly. I'm a creative coordinator for a healthcare nonprofit, and I give Peakon a five out of five. We use Peakon to check in with our employees and our staff to make sure that everyone is remaining engaged and connected within our company. We have people across different states in different units, in different buildings, and so Peakon really helps us to make sure people feel like they're being treated the way that they deserve to be treated, whether by coworkers or supervisors. But it also allows us to make sure that we remain focused on our company values, that they are spread across the entire company no matter where people may be. So Peakon's surveys really allow us to stay connected with our employees, make sure people are having a good experience at our company, and to also make sure that we are keeping up with our mission statement and our values. What I like most about Peakon is that you can get reminders to take the survey. So not only are we able to email reminders out to employees, but we can also sync it up with other applications to communicate, and we can set them up to go out weekly or bi-weekly or whatever we want, which is very helpful to do. And we can also really customize the questions. So if there's a certain situation going on in the company, we can change that week's questions to reflect that to see how people are responding to that information. So we just really appreciate how much you can customize it as well as how easily it is to communicate and send out those surveys. What I like least about Peakon is the grading scale. So we do have quite a few employees who sometimes have issues with how they rate the scores, and what's a negative score, what's a positive score, what's a neutral score? But they do luckily give a score sheet so that it makes it a little bit easier to explain to people.
