### "Reliable tool and with a great range"

February 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

Moving from other HRIS to Workday has been a fantastic experience. The flexibility on the reporting, the accuracy on the data and the options on customization has been a great support

Cons

It is not so intuitive for the end user, specially for the employees. Updating their profiles and other selfservice aspects are not very intuitive and need some guidance

### "Workday Streamlined the Hiring Process"

November 11, 2019

5.0

Pros

We went from a manual, paper process that required a lot of effort to using Workday. It streamlined things, categorized for easy finding, file management was great, and candidate recruitment process was easier than ever.

Cons

It takes a great deal of thought to ensure accurate processes and flow - junk in equals junk out. So make sure you have a lot of planning time ahead of your go-live date.

### "Great self-service HR/payroll product..."

January 10, 2022

5.0

Overall experience with this product has been smooth. User interface was a bit confusing at first, but not too bad.

Pros

Easy to find and use what you're looking for. Easy to request time-off.

Cons

Making changes to time-off requests after they've been submitted is slightly confusing.

### "Workday Review "

December 2, 2019

4.0

Very useful tool in regards to managing employee information and hierarchy. On the surface, it is a very easy tool to manage. However, as you get deeper into the functionality, it becomes overly complicated.

Pros

The interface is very user friendly in regards to time cards, benefits, and important documentation.

Cons

The reporting functionality is incredibly complicated. Building/setting-up reports takes a ton of time and trail & error.

### "Not hard, but not easy"

April 22, 2021

3.0

We are managing salaried time off, hourly time keeping and employee development and performance reviews.

Pros

The tiles make looking for functions easier. This program brings time management and employee development all in one location.

Cons

The time management doesn’t always pick up correctly. The employee development screens don’t allow for quick updates without re-sending multiple emails to users and management.

### "So glad my company switched to this, it makes everything so much easier!"

February 8, 2018

5.0

More ease in hiring employees and giving them access to their information. We will be using the Recruiting platform soon which will make hiring even easier since it goes our applicant tracking for us.

Pros

Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. Love that it gives employees 24/7 access to any HR/Payroll issues.

Cons

Takes a little getting used to, especially for those not computer-savvy. It could better point someone to the right area when they've made an error.

### "Love this site!"

March 8, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love that Workday is a one stop shop. We can access our personal information as well as look up information for others. If I need someones title or who their manager is, Workday allows us to see an org chart of that department.

Cons

Nothing that comes to mind at this time.

### "Workday is More Work Than It's Worth!"

March 4, 2020

3.0

As far as I can tell, the migration to this software has honestly only caused headaches for our business.

Pros

The biggest positive I can glean from this software is that in theory it is a singular place that has multiple functionalities (Pay, Absence, Time Off, Talent and Performance, etc.) all in one place.

Cons

The cons for this software far outweigh the pros. My company switched from Namely, which was a much more user-friendly system. Workday is not intuitive to use at all. I'm all for a system that is streamlined, but Workday looks more barren than anything in each of its sections, and what should be simple is just confusing. It did not integrate well with our previous system, and much of the data we had before now has no place, leaving my company to have to utilize multiple systems for performance reviews, which really defeats the purpose of using an all-encompassing software like Workday.

### "Useful but complex tool"

July 9, 2018

3.0

Pros

1\. Lots of features integrated within the Workday suite makes it a very comprehensive tool to be considered for any large organization 2. The ability to extract and download historical timesheets is a very good feature for any employee to monitor his/her performance

Cons

1\. Understanding and using the entire workflow and tool can be a little confusing at times 2. Some options are little tricky to find and use - multiple hierarchy - options within option can be little irritating at times. This again requires some bit of training and practice from the user side

### "Workday workpay"

January 4, 2020

5.0

This program helps my manager know when I want time off and what hours I worked. It sends you an email update when time is due so I never miss a paycheck. It keeps track of important documents so that I don’t have to!

Pros

I use this program at work to clock in and out of work. I also use it to select my benefits, my tax forms and submit request for PTO. It’s easy to use, straight forward and they even have an app I can access when I am not at work.

Cons

Something that I like least about the program is that the app wanted me to change my password after a short time which led to me being locked out of the app. Another thing that is frustrating is that you can’t just click and look at your paystub, it has to be downloaded and there are a few steps to getting it.

### " Amazing "Work-Day" Experience"

June 3, 2021

5.0

Everything under one roof. I enjoy using this tool. It's best for HR management, recruiting, learning etc.

Pros

All the company related tasks are aligned and organized nicely. With few clicks I can track all the internal processes like Education and Training, Referrals, Performance Objectives, Profiles etc.

Cons

Some UI functionalities need to be improved. Limited functionality to escalate any request. Custom changes are limited.

### "The tool for lean and efficient documentation. "

November 17, 2022

5.0

Pros

Like my title suggests, the software is extremely viable when it comes to hiring and onboarding of employees. As a maintenance person we sometimes have high turnovers or increase in headcounts for a particular period of times. This helps us in keeping our things straight.

Cons

If only we could find an employee database on it. That would be a great feature to have.

### "Not user friendly"

April 12, 2020

3.0

Overall, I do not enjoy using Workday because it is not user friendly.

Pros

I like that my workplace has Workday for employees to be able to look up important benefit information.

Cons

I do not like that it is not user friendly. I am quite technologically savvy, and for some reason, I cannot figure out its features. I usually end up forgetting how I get to one area of the app/website.

June 11, 2020

so great! They have thought of everything we could need!

Pros

It's great that I can get access to this whenever and wherever. The app is so nice and easy to use! I can do everything on the app that I could do on a computer, and as a person who does not have a computer at home, this is a big deal for me!

Cons

I honestly don't have any complaints at all about this software. it's easy to use and easy to access for me.

### "I have had an excellent experience using this payroll service. A quick and accurate process."

March 16, 2018

4.0

This software provides a quick and accurate payroll system that is easy to use which saves time.

Pros

I have enjoyed how easy and friendly the software is to use. A set up of the payroll functions has made for a quick and accurate system to track and submit payroll. The software has outstanding reporting functions for my managers to use.

Cons

The customer service has been lacking in my experience. During the set up process I was speaking to several different customer service reps and they each gave different response to similar questions.

### "Solid and comprehensive HR management solution"

February 6, 2020

5.0

This was a good shift, centralizing access to key HR data that was either dispersed through multiple systems, or completely opaque. I look forward to the activation of more modules (e.g. payroll management) to bring all personnel task into one system.

Pros

Very well organized, with clear arrangement of lots of vital information related to my own and my team's work profiles. Good handling of sensitive information and privacy coverage, while at the same time improving transparency. Modular approach to multiple key HR processes allows for gradual adoption.

Cons

Management options (promotions, transfers, etc.) are openly available all the time, while in reality they are tied to strict company processes and policies. Probably this is a configuration issue for our instance - this makes me think that initial setup and configuration can be complex.

### "He functions made easy and convinient"

July 1, 2020

5.0

It is overall a nice productivity booster. I do not have to search hr documents to know where do I fill my annual review, or set goals, it is all at one place and which is really great.

Pros

Our company uses Workday for setting up goal setting, direct deposit options, annual review and many other things like reimbursement forms, etc. I like that all of these functions are abstracted out to your profile setting and you can easily all the information at one place.

Cons

Some of the options are closed and can not be controlled. For example deleting a goal, you have to contact the admin to remove the goals. This takes a lot of effort and time. If some mistake is made or someone wants to delete something, it should not be locked down only for admins.

### "Workday is good if you have enough time to find all of its features"

March 6, 2018

3.0

I like the product but its shortcomings stem from the simplified interface and not knowing what more you can do with the system. The features and reports available are all great if you can find them.

Pros

The interface is not difficult at all to use, it does have a lot of functionality, the reports are great

Cons

finding all the reports available can be hard as they are hidden, getting to features, not on the dashboard are difficult as I did not know about the other 75% of features available to me. I think better help bubbles for some of this would be good and instead of drilling in from dashboard maybe a nice feature would be to have it ask you what you are trying to do and then show you how you can do it.
