Technical support engineer Computer Hardware Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and great app for entering time worked" May 31, 2021 5.0 Overall I love it, it is easy for me to enter my time and manage my time off, as well as to see how my work applications within the company are doing. Pros I love that I have an option to enter my time worked quickly, this option will copy the time from a past week and after that I only have to review and submit Cons If you work different hours during the week the quick add option would not work for you as it only allows for you to enter the same time from a previous week or the same time for all days during a week, which means you will have to add the time manually Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday is an industry standard and for good reason" April 23, 2023 5.0 I use Workday as part of my company’s software solution for HR, finance, payroll planning. I’m able to update all my information related to HR benefits and payroll electronically and also update my self-reviews and reviews of my colleagues all in one place. it’s nice because everything is electronic and in one place. Pros In my opinion, I think Workday is a great software suite because of its user-friendly interface, flexibility, and advanced capabilities for tracking HR and performance reviews. I appreciate how easy it is to use and customize making all things HR efficient. I believe that Workday is a leading enterprise software solution for organizations of all sizes and industries, and I look forward to using it in the future. Cons I think the user experience could be better in that you have to know where to find some items such as goal setting, etc. However, I think that is minor given the overall pros of Workday. it’s and the time required to learn and implement. Also, it may not suit all industries or types of organizations, but like I said, the pros outweigh any cons in my opinion. Review Source Jamie S.

Pros Workday HCM makes it possible and effective to track and select the right candidates for an open opportunity when hiring. Cons Was a bit complex but now I am used to it as I use it on a daily basis at workstation. Review Source JL Joana L.

Pros Being able to see my payroll, W-2’s, my schedule, time & attendance as well as being able to take time off all on an app, is something everyone should have access too. It’s amazing how easy it is, I’ve never had an issue with workday and I’ve been using it for 5+ years. Cons There isn’t anything I dislike about this app! It’s great. Review Source TG Terri G. Freelance Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday Review" April 10, 2022 5.0 Excellent software, it was very user friendly and stored so much information that I could access in one area. I liked using Workday to do many tasks without leaving Pros I found Workday to be helpful I could report my time, do my modules assigned to me as well as see tasks that where waiting to be done. I could see my benefits and see what job opportunities where available within my company. Cons I had no issues using Workday. I found it did everything I needed and more. Review Source RT Ronnie T. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Make your workday, workweek, and work year easier" March 28, 2024 4.0 We tried for years to handle payroll on our own. We were lucky that we did not make any grievous mistakes during that time. Once we realized just how little we did know about payroll and tax compliance, we were terrified that we could be doing something that would jeopardize our non-profit status. We initially considered bringing on a new staff member to do nothing but payroll. When we realized just how expensive this addition would be, we opted to look for software options. Workday has checked every box we needed. 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. Review Source JC Je’da C. Load Warehousing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Workday HCM review " June 30, 2024 5.0 My overall experience was a great experience, it pretty much covers everything a person needs to know about their job. Hr can help with questions through email Pros I like that it offers different categories and shows the pay for each week. Cons I don’t like that once a person is logged , it might log the person out. Reason for choosing Workday HCM I chose this because it was required to use at specific jobs. Review Source Adam ¿. Marketing Coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic software for all of your HR solutions" January 16, 2022 5.0 Expense reports are the main thing I use Workday for. The biggest benefit is how straightforward it is for a manager to review the expense reports entered by an employee, with the possibility of delegates designated for managing the expense reports for the manager. System also works very well for time off management and business trip reimbursement management. Pros I like the simplicity of entering expense reports, which can even be done by scanning the receipts by your phone. Everyone can do this easily by mobile app or web based application. Workday is very complex and contains all your HR data including your pay and position, and you can easily see things like your career progress and your CV. The system is connected to our Microsoft Accounts solutions and works very well alongside of it. Cons The system is sometimes working slower than you'd like. Currency conversion could be improved, as of right now it's easier for accounting purposes to find the current conversion rate at the national bank and use the conversed amount. The software could go a little faster, with bigger number of expense reports, the system slows down and it's harder to input new data into the system. However, this can be momentarily fixed by creating more reports instead of one huge one.

Pros Ease of Use i.e., while ago at start i could only find my profile details and nothing else but later Workday provided Chat assistant it made a lot easier to find out all services available in workday like Job opportunities, Organization work chart, Holidays enrollment and assistance, Benefits providing by my Employer like Health insurance etc., Cons When it comes to job opportunities majority are from out of country and need more experience like 10 or more Years to apply.

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 [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "‘A platform for employees to speak-up’" April 16, 2019 5.0 comparatively, ‘workday’ is an efficient, effective and affordable system for an above average organization. Pros Many companies lose their talented employees due to failures by the top management to recognize the contributions made by certain employees for the growth of the organization, which goes unnoticed by the hierarchy which creates a negative opinion towards the management by those employees. HCM tool makes a positive impact as a go-between the employee and management and WORKDAY has made substantial developments with this regard. ‘Workday’ HCM has given the employees all the freedom to put on record their contributions/ achievements, goals, training requirements, etc which has almost totally brought to halt human ignorance/negligence of appraisers during evaluations and give due recognition to each employee according to the employee value to the company. ‘Workday’ has many features that help both the management and employees to know each other better and make justifiable decisions. With an advanced HCM such as ‘workday’, it is not only the HR head, but the whole top management is aware of the positives and negatives of the members of the organization which strengthens the transparency of the decision makers. With ‘workday’, the management doesn’t need to wait till the due period for performance appraisals, but identify ‘real-time’ the value of certain talents and apply sensible decisions to recognize such employees. ‘workday’ comes with an attractive UI which is a pleasing plus point. Additionally, it supports multiple devices which are useful on the go. Cons so many beneficial features are incorporated in the system that it takes a fairly big effort to familiarize. As this is a HR centered software with access to each member, we find difficulties in getting the full potential due to cultural diversities by way of language barriers (non-English speakers).

Offrendo un’esperienza di navigazione e utilizzo che nel complesso può essere definita come molto agevole Cons Alcune funzionalità come quella di database dipendenti rallentano di molto le prestazioni del software, costringendo l’utente a tempi di attesa anche di decine di secondi per ottenere la risposta desiderata Review Source SP Sunil P. Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome HCM Tool" March 22, 2023 5.0 Nice tool to build and maintain employees related data. Pros Payroll, Employee Database, Time & Attendance, Leave Tracking, etc. Cons All good. Nothing least to mention about Workday HCM. Review Source TR Thea R. Customer Service Representative Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Your Guide to using Workday for Job Postings" October 29, 2022 4.0 Pros Workday is very reliable and efficient. You can easily navigate through tabs, easily understand where to upload files or to search for job openings. You can track your referrals as well as their progress in the application process. You can also check your history and profile on the company and how others may evaluate your profile if ever you do take an opportunity such as a promotion. You can request for files and receive it in a couple of hours. No hassle and very efficient when it comes to the overall platform performance. Cons Just a minor detail that would be helpful is if workday has 2 way authentication system wherein you can use it to access it on your mobile device since based on my experience your domain on workday can only be found on your registered company computer.

I love that everything done in a candidate profile can be tracked. I have been able to hire so many for employees than I did prior to Workday.

Pros Workday was easy to navigate and very intuitive. A new employee could come in that was unfamiliar and quickly be up-to-speed. We had several upgrades, each making the process better each time. Cons We could not be on our own cloud, making the organization more vulnerable to cyber attacks.
