### "Workday HCM Review"

November 15, 2024

5.0

My experience with has been largely favorable, thanks to its user-friendly design and comprehensive HR functionalities. The platform excels in delivering real-time insights and simplifying processes like payroll, talent management, and compliance tracking. While initial setup and learning took time, the long-term benefits of improved efficiency and accessibility outweighed these challenges.

Pros

Its comprehensive features, including workforce planning, talent management, and payroll integration, streamline HR processes effectively. The real-time analytics and reporting tools provide actionable insights, empowering data-driven decision-making.

Cons

Customization options, while extensive, can be complex and sometimes require technical expertise or vendor assistance. The cost of implementation and maintenance may be high for smaller organizations. Performance can occasionally be slower during peak usage times, which can be frustrating

### "Easy to navigate"

November 21, 2024

5.0

In my role I use it for multiple things such as pay slips, performance evaluations and mandatory/elective trainings for my job. It's nice having all these things on one application. I use it all the time to look stuff up when needed.

Pros

I love that it has so many applications on one platform such as pay slips, time off, directory, performance evaluations, expenses. It essentially holds all the documentation/paperwork you need for your position.

Cons

Not always sure where to find things when I need it, but you can always type into the search box and try to find articles pertaining to what you might be looking for.

### "good tool but can be cumbersome to use"

November 7, 2024

3.0

IT does what it is supposed to do but coming from another much more intuitive tool this one seems like a step back for time/absence management. for other HR related stuff this system works well.

Pros

It can be greatly customized for the usecase of the company

Cons

very cumbersome system for absence management. Also no easy way to see an overview of your team as manager for absences and holiday planning.

Overall, using has been amazing. With minor improvements can help alot.

Pros

### "#TEAMWORKDAY"

December 4, 2024

5.0

Overall, I like it because again I'm able to track my time and make sure there is no errors

Pros

I like workday because I can check my hours daily or if I need to change something for my taxes or what have you it at my fingertips.

Cons

I don't like that my manger has to approve my hours before it gets to human resources because what if my manger doesn't show up for work the day it needs to be submitted ?

### "Good but could use some improvements"

November 21, 2024

4.0

Mid to average overall experience. I had to use this product a lot for my job, but I feel like its under used by management.

Pros

Feature packed. A lot of useful features can be found such looking for information on payments, benefits, tasks, timetables and submitted documents.

Cons

Buggy interface, not easy to navigate, and inconvenient functionalities. Tasks sometimes are not easy to review. Although packing a lot of features, sometimes its under utilized by management. Server issues sometimes happen.

### "Okay, but not for small companies"

May 2, 2025

3.0

Pros

It was clean, but I did not use it much because it was difficult to navigate. I only used it when absolutely necessary, like for terminating an employee.

Cons

Found it difficult to navigate. The system is too robust for department I worked in. It may have worked well on a larger scale but using it for an on-site childcare center for employees was not the right fit.

Workday has been the easiest employee tracking system I have ever used. Its simple, yet has some complex features.

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

Pros

I liked it how I could check my pay and how much hours I'm making, checking time-off and holidays, and benefits with the job. It also helps me sign in and sign out from a particular shift and shows me my schedule of where I'm going.

Cons

I did not like the design all that much. It was hard to find what I was looking for, including time off, looking for the benefits. I wish people understand its not just a place for careers.

### "Useful admin tool !"

November 13, 2024

4.0

I use workday to add my holiday, view other team member's holiday, check payroll details and understand the company structure.

Pros

I think it is a good way to organise all your admin data in one space, get all the appropriate contacts and understand the organisation's structure. It is quite easy to use.

Cons

Imputing your holiday is a bit challenging as it's not very intuitive on how to add half days and also you don't get a yearly view of your holiday and all the months.
