December 3, 2018 5.0 Immediacy for feedback among employees and employers. Great for goal setting and meeting compensation planning. You can create time specific goals with tons of space for descriptions and comments. We would be lost without Workday. Pros Workday is incredibly easy to use - we use it frequently on my work team where we can set yearly goals to meet our annual compensation planning targets. You can set it up for your management team to receive notifications when goals are edited and completed, which makes discussions and comments immediate for feedback. Cons It's interface is a little clunky at times and when you edit goals you have to be careful to make sure the right one is selected, because sometimes it will change to another one if you change screens. Review Source CD Claire D. Contract Administrator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday Review" September 18, 2023 5.0 Pros It's pretty simple and straightforward for the kinds of tasks I use it for. Cons I wish some options it would remember without me having to select it every single time. The goal management/performance review section could be updated to be more clean and easy to use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder and CEO Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool for managing employees, goals, and employee growth" March 4, 2019 5.0 Overall, it is a great product. It just takes time to implement and you need to train your teams with the software If not, issues will arise. Pros A great feature of this tool is the ability to document and share goals through out the company. Top leadership is able to cascade goals down the organization to different levels of management. This transparency allows company goals to reach all aspects of the organization. It also allows our teams and employees to create goals and track them. This tracking allows us to see the growth and success of our teams and employees. A great tool for retention and growth. Cons I think the program needs some work in regard to usability. The platform can come off as clunky and not as easy as users would want. The forms often make is difficult to understand how to complete them. For example, when cascading it is easy to forget to grab all of the goals. this will create issues later in the exercise and cause confusion and concern. These little bugs can waste time and frustrate employees.

Some days the program was tedious and I would spend hours trying to navigate through just to be able to complete the hiring process. Pros The software is awesome as far as the HR aspect goes. I love that you can have all your employees and potential employees information in one secure location. You have the ease of accessing all necessary documentation for each employee. Cons I was not impressed with the lack of assistance when using Workday and hitting walls. We received no training and had to teach ourselves blindly how to maneuver through the program and familiarize ourselves with it. Review Source JC James C. Research Associate Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Manage your workforce with ease" September 9, 2022 5.0 Excellent. Keeps control of a large number of employees and there training/job profiles with ease. Would recommend. Pros Easy to use and roll out. We use Workday to organise training compliance across the business. Easy to keep track of and has lots of other useful features such as career plans/compensation etc as part of employee management. Cons There can feel like an overwhelming amount of options within Workday, however, once you're familiar with the operations side it is all very useful. Review Source MD Mackenzie D. Sales Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Midtier HR Management Tool" January 25, 2023 3.0 It is alright in HR Management and Payroll. Pros I like that workday makes it easy to find payroll and previous W2 documents. Cons It is very difficult for updates in the system to take effect. It is nearly impossible to change your name and have it go through with other systems. Therefore, integration is not it's strength. Review Source Kaushik G. Senior Program Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product. UI could be more user friendly" June 6, 2023 5.0 Pros Meets requirements of day to day Human capital processes. Flexibility to customize based on firm processes. Cons User interface not very intuitive and user friendly. Review Source BK BARBARA K. Registered Nurse Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday User" September 22, 2020 4.0 The website allows me to track my regular hours ,overtime , payslips and time off accurately. Pros I like that it is easy to find payroll and time off information. I am able to track my pay slips, hours worked, overtime information and deductions easily. Cons The sign in process can be lengthy and at times needs multiple attempts to navigate through the sign in screen. Review Source Tyler S. Assistant Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Performance Management" November 24, 2018 4.0 It's a little confusing at first, but once you get it down you see the value in it. Pros The software does address everything necessary for performance reviews and keeping tabs on employees and making goals for them so it's well documented. It lays things out in order as to not miss anything. There are good step by step instructions if you don't understand something. Cons When you finish putting in data, you click done and think it's done, but then it ask again if you want to submit. I noticed with myself and other managers is you think you've completed something and you leave the screen and you later learn it didn't submit because it's asking you to submit after you click done. It's a little redundant. Review Source MT Michele T. Operations Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Employee Tracking" September 30, 2020 4.0 Overall, my experience with Workday is a positive one. The interface is easy to use and understand. Pros I used Workday at a company who utilized their portals to track employees. I was easy for me to quicky access my team's employment records and history. Cons We had workday admin employed by our company. Some features that I would like to see for employee reporting took a while for them to implement. Review Source LK Lexie K. Student Graphic Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy access for all" March 23, 2019 5.0 There couldn't be any easier to use software for the simple task of keeping track of honest work hours in the workplace. It's one more thing to help take stress off your mind and be able to focus on your actual work you came in for. Pros As an employee to clock in and out, you really are just looking for ease of access. That is what Workday provided for us. Simple access and capabilities on our phone or desktop and easy to check and approve time cards to keep track of work hours. Easy to see reminders when you forgot to clock in or out and easy to fix when the mistake is made. Cons In my time using it, nothing has ever gone wrong or confused me to the point where it wasn't an easy fix. For my job and the purpose we needed from Workday, there was never a con to using it.

Analyst Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday" February 11, 2021 4.0 Pros The software had a lot to offer all in one place. Cons The time and technical abilities needed to perform most functions was overwhleming. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Performance Manager III Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful and next gen" March 4, 2019 4.0 Good and powerful. just don't expect something like salesforce in terms of sheer horsepower. Does most of the things that normal users would and some that power users might. Skips the top of the line statistical and graphical power-utils. Pros Quite up keeping with times. Web based interface works like a charm. Interface is intuitive and responsive. Design is fancy and modern and has an elegant look to it. Cons Lack of offline mode for editing. Difficulty in recovering written text in case of accidental browser surfing from keyboard. Auto Save is not there and draft mode is quite difficult to engage at places. Also, lacks advanced graph and statistical tools to demonstrate team performance as curves and progression in performance improvement versus expectation. Review Source Abdul R. Head Of Sales Marketing Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The whole complete package and solution to all of our business management needs. " June 30, 2018 4.0 Pros It is really an innovative tool to get your hands on. It got some really supporting management and immensely caring founders. Payroll, hiring, reconcilation etc all are the tasks that you can manage on the go. It is just like a complete package for the HR department. Cons It often raises complications for employee to provide a proper feedback to their employers. It is also not user-friendly which means you have to learn it hard and fast in order to get a proper grip on it. Review Source WK Wendy K. Marketing and Communication Officer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday HCM" September 7, 2023 4.0 Workday HCM est sans doute un très bon logiciel pour les RH même si il faut un peu de temps pour bien comprendre son fonctionnement Pros le logiciel offre une très grandes fonctions Rh pour tout type d'entreprise. L'interface utilisateur est très conviviale avec des présentations des données des membres de votre équipe. Cons Le logiciel au début n'est pas très facile à utiliser, mais dans la suite s'est plus agréable. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love how updated this software is!" February 6, 2018 5.0 I love workday compared to other employee portals i have used in the past. Pros I like how organized everything is and the ease of use. When you need to find something in particular, it is so easy to find and all the employees have easy access to all their information. Cons Sometimes information imputes into the system can take a little long to sync and to view documents you also have to wait a little long sometimes while the request is being made and the documents appear in your inbox.

ZCLA Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of use" January 19, 2024 5.0 overall i like this product and day to day use is quick and easy to navigate Pros the simple layout of workday makes it easy to use Cons sometimes difficult to find historical details Review Source Mark F. Research Program Senior Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday: not the most friendly interface, but it definitely gets the job done." June 6, 2022 5.0 Pros I really appreciate the employee directory to see who reports to whom, as well as having all our benefits centralized in one place. Cons I wish the interface could be updated to something a bit more modern and user-friendly-- sometimes the platforms feels a bit dated and non-user friendly, and it's not always easy to navigate to different parts of the tool. Also, the platform doesn't automatically clear notifications after you complete them, which is strange Review Source Jared H. HRIS Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best HCM Software on the Market" October 31, 2019 4.0 We needed an HCM that would support our growing organization. Pros I like that it is cloud based, so there is no equipment to manage for our internal team. I like that it is configurable to allow some minor changes to match our business processes, but not so different that we have to spend all our time testing new releases. I like their release schedule to get plenty of time to review the new features and that you have to turn them on. Cons You have to be a Workday client to get training in Workday. Support is limited. You generally have to go through a 3rd party group. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Service Representative Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great and helpful software" July 20, 2022 4.0 Pros For me, the software summarizes your job profile easily by uploading your resume. It allows the HR team to be able to review pending applications and also, it allows candidates an updated status of their job application. Cons For me, the software is kinda plain in the eye and what I would suggest to provide notifications on the candidates profiles whether an update has been made on their application.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Blogger Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great UI & Easy to use" September 20, 2018 5.0 Overall I really enjoy using Workday maybe one of the best systems I've used for payroll. Pros Workday is a great experience with a super friendly and easy to use UI. It's pretty straightforward to use and I've never had any issues with using it. Cons One feature in particular that I didn't like was with cancelling time off requests. You basically have to submit a new request to counteract the request. If you just need to edit something it's a very mundane task to complete.
