Data Labeling specialist Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best software for marking attendance, leaves and benefits" December 27, 2022 5.0 On workday I apply leaves which is very easy as it gives detailed segregation of them. The notification comes when the leave is approved. I also update my yearly goals on it and file yearly work report for appraisal on it. Setting goals and comparing them on year end it so simple. It comes with pre filled details as per organisation requirement which makes filling details even more easier. Different benefits provided the employer is displayed nicely and adding members or new details are straight forward. Pros Workday is very easy to understand. Marking leaves is very easy. Enrolling for the benefits given by organisations is also very simple. Adding family members to the benefits and checking the changes was never so seamless. Cons I wish my organisation leave other tools for IJP, onboarding and payroll and use workday because its just the best. No flaws whatsoever. Review Source RR Rebecca R.

Talent Operations Specialist Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, effective, & user friendly " December 21, 2021 4.0 Pros The most impacted process for our company was having the ability to house many of our processes into one system.

Cons There are times the system lags and can be slow Switched from [SAP SuccessFactors HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/144575/SuccessFactors-Perform-and-Reward/) It was too expensive to maintain Review Source AF Adam F. Director of Multimedia Technology Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mainstream product, but a lot of work to get there." February 9, 2021 4.0 It provides the basics in a stable platform, but it's still very basic due to our need to control costs and not customize it for our needs as much. Pros Offered as a SaaS solution for our needs. This off-loaded much of the management aspects from our internal IT team for focusing on other business initiatives. Cons Every little aspect appears to have an "add-on" price in order to make it work better for users. There are ways to use additional features, but it requires users to "search" for various reports and processes rather than being able to select from the main menu of options. Not very user friendly. Reason for choosing Workday HCM Cost and features provided. Review Source ZS Zeh S. Payroll Manager Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This is an HRIS and not at all payroll system" October 21, 2023 3.0 I learned the system pretty fast but cannot get over the payroll function limitations. Pros There is not much to loike about this system from a payroll admin. point of view. I think this system should not have added payroll module that does not cover all payroll aspects like other payroll systems. Cons That this system is not made for payroll but only for HR recording. There is no live customer support that is very disappointing. Review Source MKA Michael Kevin A. Realtime Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday Honest Review" November 17, 2022 5.0 Overall experience is really great since it is user friendly and the ease of accesss is so easy to navigate because it is straight forward and concise. Pros Workday shows all of the necessary details that we users need to access specially when it comes to checking our company info and details. It also gives the users an ease of access for their benefits and even job openings that we can use to grow inside our company. Cons We slowly and often get that much updates from the app. If creators can have a notification to the creator of requests , they will be notified of the urgent updates that the user needs so they can give updates right away. Reason for choosing Workday HCM Because of the ease of access and the integration of the app itself. Review Source AG Asnath G.

Review Source NG Nathaniel G. Instructor Evaluator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Way for Employees to Track Themselves" February 4, 2021 4.0 I loved using Workday as an employee to manage all my compensation and benefits. I always knew where I stood in terms of pay and leave long before I ever had to talk to supervisor about them. Pros Workday provides a great array of features for every employee in an organization from tracking their time to managing their benefits like leave. It also is useful to keep track of pay as well as money being taken out for insurance and taxes. Cons There was a lack of training features in the software that would have made it almost perfect for every part of employee experience. Review Source Romain D.

Le grand nombre de modules existants permet d'avoir une solution tout-en-un. Pros La gestion des congés est bien faite (vue calendrier, vue de l'équipe). Il existe un grand nombre de modules différents, heureusement il existe plusieurs moyens de naviguer et d'arriver finalement au module recherché. Les champs de recherche sont plutôt intuitifs et l'interface est globalement rapide et fluide. Cons L'interface utilisateur n'est pas toujours la plus simple à comprendre, et le design peut sembler old school.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human Resources Specialist Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful Interface Human Resources System" October 21, 2018 5.0 Pros Workday Recruiting has taken our HR needs to the next level. Where can you you find a software that has the combination not just for your HR needs but for finance and planning as well. Each time I have board meetings at the bank, I feel secured that I can extract all the information I need from this software. It didn’t just keep my work organized, but also gave me the ability to track data ranging from time sheets to expenses which is what I basically needed. I’m so glad we invested in this software which has lightened my workload in half. Cons My only pet peeve with this software is when you encounter an error while posting a job opening, you’ll need to redo the whole thing again. Unless I am missing something, there is no option to resubmit, but it makes you start the entire process all over again. Review Source Seeba B. Biomedical Engineer/Project Manager Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes it so much easier to apply jobs" December 20, 2020 5.0 Pros All professionals know how exhausting the application experience can be. Despite being skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced and reaching to the last level of the interview process, for some unknown reason it is always given to some brown-noser or somehow was already promised the job to someone else and thus professionals are back to square one in the application process. This makes it so easy as it carries over the information from your resume and is intelligent enough to fill the entry fields accurately. Cons While very accurate, I wish it would also carry over my skills, languages, certifications. Workday would be the number one option. I also wish that Workday increases its marketing to make it a household name for applications - all companies should be using this software to recruit employees. Review Source Sachin U.

Resident Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easiest onboarding system " August 12, 2021 5.0 Pros The thing that impacted me most about this system was how centrally located everything was and I even had my own email through the system so that I could communicate with my managers and I knew what tasks still needed to be completed. Cons One thing I didn’t like was that I wasn’t able to see my pay from here and I think that’s the one thing that was missing, it had everything else related to orientation but it was missing pay information.
