Having a user friendly software is key so I really enjoy that about workday. Pros Very way to navigate and is very user friendly for all employees. Cons The layout is a little boring and plain. I wish it had a better aesthetic or looked more attractive. Review Source TZ Tina Z. Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday hcm review " December 19, 2022 5.0 Overall i have a good experience with workday hcm. I think it is able to provide me the service that I need Pros I like how the most important features people generally care about such as payroll and direct deposits are so easily available and easy to understand on there Cons I really don’t like the general design of the software page. As a user I think the page is very ugly and all the spaces are not well utilized Review Source Christina P. Employment Counsel Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday for Self-Service Payroll " October 24, 2019 5.0 Workday payroll encourages employees to take action on their own instead of relying on HR to answer all questions or take all actions related to payroll. Pros I like that Workday was created in such a way that employees can be more autonomous in finding information related to payroll. Additionally, employees can make modifications to their withholdings and other payroll functions without the need to ask members of the HR team, so people are left with more time to do more important things. Cons There is nothing I dislike about Workday, but it is cloud based which means that you have to have internet to access any information on Workday. It would be great if some information was available offline.

It's easy to switch them to employees. Pros I really like Workday. It was great since I could manage my time cards as well as my paystubs. I could easily track PTO and project how much PTO I would have a later date. HR could send me announcements, notifications and assignments to complete as new open items came up. What I really liked was also being able to look up coworkers and see what department they worked in, what team they were on and who their supervisors were. There was a tree of our entire organization mapped out so it was easy for me to go back and see exactly who it was I was emailing or corresponding with. Cons It was a little challenging trying to figure out some of the features such as dividing my direct deposit between two different accounts. I had to use youtube videos to see how it was done correctly. Simple process just not easily spelled out.

Pros Workday is an essential software for all employees. It manages basically every aspect of your work life from schedules, to time off, pay, and benefits. It makes all this information easy to access and thus helps you stay informed about everything to do with work. Cons The software may show apps that your company does not use, this can get a little annoying because they appear on your dashboard, but serve no purpose. Review Source CG Corey G. Director of Product Management Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday makes more work in your day" May 24, 2021 4.0 Pros It consolidates a lot of features into one overall application. Cons It's cumbersome and a pain to use. The user experience is clunky and the features are strict. There are a TON of error messages. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Independent Travel Agent Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Everything in one place" November 20, 2018 5.0 Pros I love that it is so user friendly. I am able to submit time off requests, expense reports, and hours all in the same week. I get to see the process of my expense report approvals every step of the way. I can see the balances of sick, vacation, and holiday time before I request time off. Cons The only time I ever had a problem was when my manager left her position. My expense report got stuck waiting for her approval, but I brought that to her boss's attention and it was immediately rectified. If I didn't have workday, I might now have known where to go to get it fixed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Phlebotomist/ lab tech Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday Payroll" April 17, 2019 5.0 I can access everything job related in one place. I use it everyday and I never have to ask anyone for help, because it's so easy to navigate. Pros All of the links are big clean icons which are organized in a way that makes it super easy to find what your looking for. We keep a lot of information in this software, so I can go back and see my hiring interview and resume that I used to apply for my job. I can also find my paychecks and w2s. I can choose how and when I get paid; for instance I can choose how often I want a percentage of one of my checks to go to another bank account. I like being able to do this stuff myself instead of calling around to find the right department and bug them to do it for me. Cons For some reason we don't use it as our time clock, I don't know if that's an option for anyone, but it feels like it would be a better fit than the time clock system we currently use. Plus, with all of my other job information already there, it seems like it would be a natural fit. Review Source TH Teagen H. Student Technician Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workday As A User" February 21, 2022 4.0 My overall experience with workday is positive. Its a great software for what I use it for. The issue I have with workday, stated in previous field, is a minor inconvenience. Pros I liked a lot that everything I need regarding scheduling, time, tax, and payroll were found all in one place. I am sure there is a lot more to Workday than that but this is the only portion that concerns me. Cons The app is pretty buggy. I like having the ability to sign into the app to access my time sheets incase I forgot to submit my time for the pay period. However, the times don't save correctly on the phone. I will write in say 5 hours for Monday and hit check. The 5 hours for Monday wont load so I do it again and it then loads. this happens everyday I try to enter my time for those days. Once I submit it will only show what was loaded on the little schedule screen. Then a week or so later I get an email from HR asking about these extra hours which I have to explain as an app error. Another thing is I am unable to enable to cookies to login easier.

Cons From a payroll perspective, I don't like that you are essentially 'on your own' without an account manager. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) HR's preference Review Source IS Ileana S. Team Assistant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Esclusivo" January 26, 2023 5.0 Esperienza col software totalmente positiva: intuitivo, pratico e vasto. Pros È un bellissimo software che aiuta ad organizzare al meglio il lavoro. Cons Non ho riscontrato inconvenienti con l'utilizzo del software. Review Source Fikru G. Project Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HR Management Software" March 30, 2023 5.0 Pros What I like most about this product is that it is a cloud-based programming framework that unites an assortment of HR capabilities in a single spot. Cons The worker data page doesn't have a back button to explore to the past page. Review Source AA Alycia A. PROPERTY MANAGER Warehousing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Using Workday to keep track of every employee matters" June 16, 2023 5.0 My overall experience was excellent. No complaints. Pros How accurately the system tracked employee time punches when clocking in and out. Cons In my opinion, workday had a few glitches that can be worked out. For example, missed punches, or punching in to soon should be flagged at the time of punching not later when it is time for payroll. Review Source Pranshu P. Software engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday is most widely used HR mgmt software" December 1, 2019 4.0 Overall the application is very good. It has consolidated recruiting and other HR activities of the company. Pros It has lot of features from recruiting to other HR management activities. I use it in my company for performance evaluation, elearning, recruiting, payroll etc. It is a very effective tool and my company is giving it a very good feedback. It has definitely chanellized all HR activities in 1 tool. Cons The user interface sometimes feel clutery. Like while recruiting the applicant should not be asked to login each time. The interface does not fit appropriately while accessing application on different platforms and machines. Review Source Mariah S. PSR Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love workday ! " May 10, 2020 5.0 Overall it’s flawless! I’ve used workday for about 5 years now. Pros Workday is such a modern platform. The images used , and the functionality is flawless for viewing benefits. Cons Currently I have zero complaints about workday benefits. Everything works as it should be working. Review Source AZ Andrew Z. Content Development Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday is the perfect platform for our organization." October 3, 2018 5.0 An excellent platform for tracking employees and developing a globally manageable company structure. Pros The reports we need to run and easy and quick, and the supported hierarchies allow for easy tracking and global workforce management. Our key LMS and CRM softwares integrate flawlessly, allowing for pinpoint reporting and actual time data capture. The graphics and user experience are excellent. Cons It can be slow and difficult when accessing from phones/tablets. Our field service techs and sales reps often report issues when working abroad. This may have more to do with their connection/service issues, however it is still a headache I thought worth mentioning. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Associate Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WorkDay Review" September 17, 2018 5.0 Pros This is the best software I have used as a recruiter. I absolutly loved the software, it has the best reportings and it can be completely customized to your company needs. Cons The only negative point I could mention is the cost and time effort for the implementation of the software within the company. However, I would say it is completely worthy as it is one of the best HRIS I have ever used at the moment. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Social Media and Content Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HR Made Easy" March 28, 2019 3.0 Workday HCM helps my company communicate with employees in regard to HR issues, and helps individual employees stay aware and in control of their benefits and PTO. It's way better than our previous system, even though it's not perfect. Pros My company uses Workday to organize our HR and recruiting functions. I like that I can easily request PTO, see my team's vacation calendar, submit referrals, set professional goals, and take care of all my salary related needs. Everything is in one easily managed place, and streamlines my work-life very well. Cons I don't love the interface. It's not as delightful or slick as some of the other software I use, and feels very business-like. Which I suppose is fine, because it's a business function, but still. I also wish the applications were grouped in a way that felt more user-friendly (like, pay related in area, PTO and benefits in another, goals and referrals in a third), rather than being all together in the sidebar. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love it!" July 1, 2019 5.0 Pros Workday Benefits is extremely easy to use. All the pertinent information that you want to access concerning payslips, logging hours, benefits, etc., is right at your fingertips. I am in workday every day checking on something and it rarely slows down my day. Cons It would be nice if they gave it a facelift graphically, but a more appealing design wouldn't necessarily impact its quality one way or the other. Review Source LEJ Luis Enrique J. Especialista de asuntos publicos Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Worday para empleados" September 21, 2023 5.0 Ha sido increible el manejo de herramientas para un facil acceso a temas de nomina Pros Es simple de manejar, además que acoge diferentes herrameitnas que te hacen más facil las condiciones de interacción con el empleador Cons No hay ninguna objeción, se puede volver más facil Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human Resources Manager Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Payroll/Compensation Management has never been so effortless and accessible." August 2, 2018 4.0 Pros Workday makes it possible to do side-by-side comparisons of benefits and their coverage and costs so it helps our users in deciding which one will suit their needs best. It displays all the benefits that the company offers such as 401k, medical and dental in a clear and easily understandable format. It allows our company to deliver a large amount of information to our employees at their most convenient time so we can make sure they keep themselves informed without it taking too much of our HR resources. Third party system integrations were a breeze with excellent results in the delivered packaged integration. Cons It can feel a bit intimidating at first so we made sure proper training, leadership and resources were available internally so our employees did not have a hard time adapting to the system. Once they have though, feedback has been largely positive and any hiccups were easily addressed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Recruiting Coordinator Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Access Benefits Information" March 8, 2020 5.0 Workday Benefits is overall a great solution for centralizing benefit information. Customer service is very helpful whenever issues arise, which is rare. Pros Workday is easy to use, which is its best feature. Everything is centralized in one place - W2s, 401k information, time off requests, staff directory, etc. From an employee standpoint, it is fantastic to have everything readily available and not toggle between internal sites and intranets. Cons While mostly intuitive, a few functions seem mis-categorized - i.e. "Time" and "Absences" are separate, whereas it makes more sense to either put them together in one category, or create two categories that are more clearly named. In addition, it needs to be easier for employers to remove functions that do not apply to their organization. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Project Analyst Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Workday keeps recruiting organized for large organizations" December 19, 2018 3.0 Pros I recently worked with a client to switch their ATS over to Workday. We spent a week testing and learning about the system from a Workday representative. I feel like Workday keeps requisitions quite organized and also streamlines the approval process for new job requisitions. It allows hiring managers to initiate the recruitment process and ensure that HR is putting through the appropriate approvals along the way. It's also nice that you can create offer letters within Workday once an offer has gone out. I may not use this if I was recruiting for a small organization (it's expensive and there's more intuitive options out there), but do see the value for a large enterprise. Cons The user interface could be a lot better - I think they could re-make it to have recruiters in mind. I feel like it is difficult to see the workflow in Workday compared to other applicant tracking systems I have used.
