Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Test Engineer I Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An Employee One Stop Shop" September 26, 2020 4.0 We use Workday to track just about everything for employees from past work history, to performance, career paths, even absences. It's an easy to use one stop shop that allows employees to make sure their information is known and allows HR to access that information to help make decisions and communicate on a personal and broad level. Pros I love that it has all the features and apps it does laid out in a simple desktop format. You can have announcements, show action items and add many personalizations to your profile, then use all of those things to track your career long term. Cons Some of the applications can be a little clunky. Even after completing all sections, if you miss the submit button in the lower left hand corner, your progress will not be completed. The tool doesn't do a great initial job of making sure that people know to submit to complete is necessary. Review Source LC Louis C. Lead Purchase / Sales Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Workday Software allows our IT department to focus less attention on maintaining rudimentary systems while saving our team time and cost" December 27, 2018 4.0 Workday provides our team with an invaluable tool for planning and coordinating our HR and finance departments. This coordination is not limited to budget forecasts or to further analytical use cases such as invoicing and procurement. Pros Workday's feature set specification is deep and thorough . The "cloud connect" option affords third party payroll communication as well as data transaction in an effective format. Workday reconciles finance records and interactions. This is an automated feature which simultaneously benefits our HR and IT departments through reducing the amount of work hours consumed during assessment and certification processes. Cons We did notice certain use case scenarios not captured in the software relative to our case management expectation. We suspect this is a application maturity issue and this will be resolved by Workday''s team in short order. We would like a more navigable user interface via their associated mobile app version.

Entering PTO requests and getting managers to approve takes only a few steps. It's also easy for team members to change bank or tax withholding info in the payroll portion. Cons The job posting interface has room for improvement. The categories are not intuitive and can be accidentally duplicated.

Office Services Clerk Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An Industry Standard HR Program" March 1, 2024 5.0 All in all, it is one of the better programs that I have seen jn my work experience. Pros I like how a user can easily access their payroll, benefits, and employee information with ease. The program is very versatile, and easy to navigate one you get used to it. The interface is very pleasant look and easy to read compared to ADP Cons The fact that it is very versatile can lead to the used getting lost very easily. One click to see a vacation schedule can be different from actually submitting a request.

Customer Service Representative Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All in one software for your HR and scheduling needs" December 24, 2018 5.0 Overall quality of this software is awesome. The downside is the scheduled maintenance can somewhat go for an hour or even a whole day. Pros I have been in two companies and have been using this software for 6 years now. It is very easy to use and since it's web based, I can access it even out of the office. Scheduling discrepancies can be easily detected and fixed in a timely manner. Requests can be easily made with just once click of a button. Support is also good. Errors and bugs can be easily fixed in no time. Cons Scheduled maintenance can somehow be a nuisances especially when you have to change something on your schedule. Review Source BG Brittany G.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It feels good to have everything in one place!" April 5, 2019 5.0 We are solving every business need with Workday because it does it all. Imagine not needing to log into five different accounts to start work in the morning. With Workday, we now just log into one and I can take a leave, complete my timesheet, enter my performance review, process new applicants and so much more. I love the versatility of Workday and I'm excited to continue using it and learning more. Pros I love having everything from timesheets, work history, hiring, testing, performance, etc all in one place. I'm not used to it and I'm still adapting after using Oracle, ADP, SalesForce, etc. Workday is so much easier to use than Taleo, so easy that I feel I'm doing something wrong or missing a set of steps. That's not a bad thing. Cons I'm used to different reports and it has been a pain/learning curve to get reports I'm used to in order to maintain status quo for the reports I'm responsible for. In time, this will go away, but it has been tedious. 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 GI Gayana I. CX, Escalations Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday is a great tool for managing time, vacation, and pay" July 8, 2021 5.0 Workday is a great HR tool that helps business organize and provide important information to their employees and employees to have access to everything related to their earnings, times, and financial documents Pros I love that the app is super easy to use on the phone and i have the same functionality as the website. I can access my pay stubs, download them, access my W2s, vacation, sick time - basically anything i ever need to know about employment data Cons To be honest, i can't even think of anything. I really like workday and i most definitely prefer it to ADP Review Source NM Natasha M. Product Designer Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday is good for everyday business needs" February 14, 2023 3.0 Easy to add in absence and track my performance with my manager. Pros It's very easy to update any information needed as an employee. I like how everything is centralised in one place such as pay and leave. Cons The navigation can be a little tricky to find exactly what document I'm looking for as it includes all updates.

Pros the app makes it easy to use on the go. taking time off/absent days/sick days etc is easy to scroll and drop down menus make it simple.

Pros The ease and convenience of this software. The simple layout of the home page. Keeps employees info organized Cons Nothing much but maybe easier to upload signatures for paper work instead of scanning. Possibly digital signature Review Source Matt K. Senior Project Manager Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workday - Employee Engagement Tool" November 28, 2018 5.0 This web-based system is great - we have found it to be easy to use, easy to deploy, and users rarely complain about how it works. The ability to link payroll, HR, benefits, and employee time off is really nice and allows better reporting. Pros This is a great system to replace your benefit and payroll employee reporting solutions. The menus are intuitive and all of the users are able to get the information they need, input their time off requests, and manage the annual performance goals with ease. Cons The transition to Workday was fairly simple, but it caused much confusion with the users as we had overlapping systems for a short period of time. Sometimes the user interface can be confusing, but that might be how it was implemented by the HR team. Review Source SF Shanikwa F. Human Resources Generalist Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" January 13, 2021 5.0 I love Workday because it’s very user friendly and you have the ability to do almost anything because it has so many features. Pros Great integration features. Great software for applicant tracking, storing employee information and pulling my day to day reports for payroll and employee job details. Cons The main user interface can be a bit confusing. It’s easy for employees to navigate but when it comes to administrators it definitely takes some getting used to. Review Source LW Leo W. Integrated Marketing Specialist Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Onboarding was a Snap!" June 30, 2020 5.0 Overall Workday is a nearly seamless package that expediates onboarding and showed in significant detail, all the benefits that were offered to me, which ones I could enroll in, the related expenses for each one, and held my hand through the complete process to ensure that all the I's were crossed and all the T's were dotted! Pros I enjoyed the process of using Workday to get onboarded when I started my position. Everything from payroll, to emergency contacts, to health insurance, to life insurance, disability, and work history goes into this thing. Probably more. It made is super simple to read through all the required legal documentation, fill out all necessary payroll documentation, tax documentation, my dependents, everything. All the while showing a progress bar monitoring my progress. I'm sure it makes it super simple for the HR department as well. Cons It was a little daunting to spend hours working with it to input all the necessary data. At times I was wishing it was being handled manually. There were a few glitches along the way that prevented me from going through the full process the first time, but in the end it all worked out. Review Source Michael E. Fixed Income Operations Specialist Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday Payroll" November 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Workday Payroll makes it incredibly simple to allocate employee pay selections and withholdings Cons The simple box design of the multiple choice elections can sometimes require unnecessary scrolling Review Source NW Norman W. Training Specialist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use it because we have to" August 16, 2020 4.0 Pros \- One of the most common HR platforms so onboarded staff from other companies will likely recognize it. - Does what it needs to in terms of time, payroll, performance goal management, and employee data. Cons \- Interface is slow and crashes constantly. - The text fields for entering certain user data (like performance goals) are small (cannot be resized) and hard to edit once submitted. - Required features or sections are embedded multiple layers down. Often have to hunt for the correct link/resource.
