### "Sounds good at board level - very poor user experience"

September 27, 2024

1.0

My workday experiences have been worse than poor. Its almost as if its been deliberately designed to irritate me while I'm trying to get my work done!

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

March 7, 2025

I tested Workday HR and finance, It was easy to manage staff and money

Pros

Bring HR and finance close together in Workday. It only took a bit of time for getting an idea of what was going on there

Cons

It’s hard to use initially particularly for beginners. No way to make serious modifications

### "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.

### "New to Workday"

August 26, 2024

4.0

Overall, I'm new with using workday but my overall experience is high expectations for the future. All sites and apps need something and everything eventually falls into place. Few minor flaws but overall I'm finding my way

Pros

The links to external sites and apps my company uses

Cons

The layout needs some work and shouldn't be so complicated downloading pay stubs

### "Simply good!"

December 16, 2025

5.0

I use HCM for workplace management. Working on both sides of the platform I use it with ease in conjunction with other software

Pros

Worked well and has a good user interface. I believe this product would benefit anyone using workforce management software.

Cons

Can't speak to specifics as there is not one item that is not bad, overall. Obviously not all products are perfect for everybody, but this is certainly good!

### "Workday could work better "

August 21, 2024

3.0

Does what is required in a simple format although can be a bit boring to look at. Can be a bit repetitive and uninspiring but has so much depth and scope to do much better if it was more engaging for colleagues.

Pros

Simple and easy layout most colleagues can understand and navigate.

Cons

Very basic and uninteresting layout for most colleagues which loses engagement and can be tricky for less skilled colleagues to find how good it can be as a tool for their job.

### "I’d recommend Workday"

August 3, 2024

3.0

Overall it’s a fantastic tool for organizations, if they know how to configure it correctly. Each country is different and the system allows you to customize processes based on locations.

Pros

Having all your HR related tasks in one system (time tracking, vacation tracing, performance, learning, employee files, payroll, etc) make it a one stop system for companies.

Cons

The security access groups can make it challenging to understand where actions may be stuck. The rules make it challenging to make changes.

### "I would recommend Workday"

October 17, 2024

4.0

My overall experience has been positive as it has allowed me to access all my important employee information in one place.

Pros

It combined all of the information I needed for my employee profile, training and insurance, into one platform.

Cons

It's not the fault of Workday, but my company provided little training for how to use the software at the start. It took a while to become comfortable using it.

4.0

Workday has been easy to navigate and has kept me up to date on all required learning to assure I stay within compliance regulations.

### "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.

November 15, 2024

Its a simple and easy to use software. Still new to the software and all its features but so far, we can kindly recommend.

Pros

Simple and flexible. A good amount of varieties of features that we really need.

Cons

Nothing at the moment. Unsure if the issues we are encountering is the companies fault or not.

December 26, 2025

5.0

Pros

I use the time tracking and benefits features on a daily basis, and they have become even easier to use. I would highly recommend.

Cons

Some of the other features do not integrate as well anymore with our internal systems, which is a bit disappointing but not a huge issue.
