Workday is my go-to for payroll and compensation management Pros The website is user-friendly, easy to manoeuvre and find what I'm looking for, and provides employees access to all the information they need regarding compensation, payroll, and vacation days.

It is a diverse program that offers a lot of substance with it. Pros Workday is a huge platform that you can customize for your companies needs and will often times customize the banner to your company. Cons When pulling reports, you have to choose from the reports listed. If I was able to create a report based on what I need then it would be 10 fold better. Review Source EC Ernesto C.

Pros It is user friendly and it has many options that allow to mainstream many processes inside a company. From Recruitment to management of time and payment, this software is a must in every company.

Project Controls Director Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid but expensive" January 13, 2023 4.0 Once setup was complete the product was good, the software costs are higher than other systems. I like the user interface better than that of most of the different tools I use. Pros It has a friendly User Interface, intuitive menus and more than covers the different features needed for personnel. Cons It requires approval from too many different people for actions that should require fewer approvers. The setup and kickoff was fraught with issues and took several months to iron out after startup. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Principal IT Project Lead/IT Developer Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Navigation is a bit cumbersome" September 5, 2019 4.0 It would be good to have the UI redesigned to be more intuitive and perhaps function like a OS-native application (e.g. Windows, Mac, etc.) The current web-based interface is a little unwieldy. Pros Workday has a fairly robust set of functionalities, like the previous tool we used, and is improving with each upgrade, but I think there are several nuances that could be beefed up. Cons The location of the buttons is awkward, and the navigation is not very intuitive. For example, when doing a performance evaluation, the navigation - though it is customized for my company - leaves a lot to be desired.

We used it for checking our payslip, contact information, creating feedback, etc. Cons I understand that we need to use our SAFE (Secure Access for Everyone) credentials but this take too much time in logging in to Workday. Maybe it's easier if it's just your preferred email address instead.

Pros There's a lot of features, there's a lot of things to check, to do, to fill out. Cons Theres way to much, its not simple, its a complex, and lengthy. It has way to many options for just a standard clock in clock out. Uploading sensitive information for HR through the platform is sooooo annoying. Relabeling files on it, resubmitting, it just doesn't save or show up for others like it does for you. Way to complicated. Review Source SW Samantha W. Guest assistant Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Works great" July 7, 2022 5.0 Pros I love that you can track pay stubs, training and even any other on boarding needs.

It feels fresh, young and intuitive. I like the aesthetic. Cons When trying to submit an expense report and I'll continue to get error messages without guidance on how to fix. I then need to reach out to an internal team which causes delay. Would be great if you could hover over a field for guidance. Review Source SK Sujith K.

Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Active user review" January 4, 2023 5.0 Overall, based on my daily working experience, I can say that Workday is super important and useful software for all companies. Pros In the case of managing days off or approving another absence in the workplace, the application is super nice and user-friendly. Cons I do not have such feedback about the least thing that I like in that software but I can say that if they put more innovative features it would be better software.
