I love the accessibility and how easy it is to communicate with my HR. It tracks my hours and shows my schedule. If I need to make changes I can do so easily with a couple of clicks.

### "Workday is such an easy program to use! As an employee, it's great!"

March 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

Workday does so many things, and they're all so easy to do. I especially loved being able to quickly submit my mileage and days off requests.

Cons

Workday only works well if you know who's approving the things you submit because that's who you'll have to ask your questions to.

### "Good service for managing benefits"

July 7, 2020

4.0

It's been pretty good for managing my benefits and inputting personal information.

Pros

I like managing my benefit choices for work and my contact info and other personal information all in one location. I like being able to find everything in one link as opposed to multiple job and benefit websites to manage.

Cons

It can sometimes be confusing where to find certain links and subsections in the app. So mostly just making things easier to locate and find would be my area of improvment.

Usage of the app is very easy and functional. The best part is that it can be assessed easily via a smartphone.

Cons

Not really straightforward, takes time to search for the requisite topic

### "We have deployed Workday Performance Management company wide to manage employee performance reviews."

April 25, 2018

5.0

Simple process between me and my manager to complete periodic performance reviews.

Pros

Easy to use. Step by step guidance allows employees to complete tasks simple and easily. Workflow for submission and approval works flawlessly.

Cons

It's hard to find a CON with the software. It just works as expected whether the user interfaces using a computer or and Mobile APP.

### "Includes self service employee portal."

July 15, 2022

4.0

Overall workday HCM did improve our HR interactions and made them simpler, however this was after quite some time familiarizing ourselves with the product. If I had influence over which product we used I would make a different selection.

Pros

I like the self service portal for employees, it really makes things simpler and easier especially with direct deposit/payroll. I like that this software keeps us all up to date and informed with office policies, it's easy to keep track of time off or vacation days. I enjoyed the crisp and modern design and the setup was great as well, it's reminiscent of other products that many people are acquainted with.

Cons

Despite the appealing modern design I found it daunting from a user perspective. I was completely lost and had no clue how to navigate this product, even as someone who has administrated similar products.

### "One spot solution..."

March 26, 2020

4.0

This software is simply amazing. I have been using this for almost 6 months now.

Pros

Adding a candidate is such an easy task, just enter the essential details and it will take care of the rest. Handling job requirements has never been this easy. Pulling reports is a great feature. This software helps to manage the complete recruitment life cycle, i.e. creating a prospect to on-boarding the candidate.

Cons

There are a few bugs in this program. The bugs are not as critical that they can affect your process. But this is the only short coming I found in the program. One of the bugs is: Sometimes the pdf attachment is not delivered.

### "Its good "

June 23, 2020

4.0

Pros

I love workday as an HRIS tool! They listen to their communities well and make regular product changes to help enhance users easily navigate. I'm a front end user and its a good tool. It has come a LONG way in just two years.

Cons

Ability to customize isn't there, perhaps in future product updates. They are still figuring themselves out.

### "Pretty Generic"

November 27, 2018

3.0

Pros

This app is stable. Once you remember where something is, like a profile page or benefits page, it doesn't move. Very easy to come back to.

Cons

There are some places where you cannot edit properties where you view them. This makes another place you have to remember when you want to change something

### "I use this for payroll and tax documents"

December 27, 2020

5.0

Pros

I like that I can easily access on my phone or computer even when outside of work. It makes it easy to access and download my pay stubs , W2 and so much more.

Cons

Only thing i am a bit disappointed with is the fact that the app does like some features that are only accessible on the web version.

### "Great Payroll admin for the high cost(worth it)"

October 5, 2019

5.0

Workday is most productive as a full suite offering. It is way too costly if Brocken up.

Pros

I love how workday has the full HR suite under one roof. This makes payroll masses easier. It also provides a solid app.

Cons

If there was something I could change while keeping the service the sales is how much it costs overall.

### "OK product"

August 30, 2022

4.0

Pros

Glad that everything is centralized in one place for time off, hours worked, expenses and other shared docs

Cons

It is super tedious submitting hours worked and expenses; have to enter individual days and times, can't copy by week (my weeks are always the same hours worked)

### "Workday is something you should skip"

August 18, 2021

3.0

Pros

Workday seemingly can do everything. It manages our onboarding, benefits administration, payroll, accounts payable, etc.

Cons

It is so incredibly difficult to use. Nothing in the software is intuitive. It might be just the way our admins set the software up, but it is unbearable.

January 12, 2023

Pros

we can find variety of candidates for all kinds of job profiles. Also have good reach all around the world.

### "Workday WORKS"

April 11, 2019

5.0

Workday is a great resource for manager during the appraisal process.

Pros

During the merit increase period, it ensures that a pay change goes into effect before an employee sees it. This is perfect for when a performance review needs to be delivered after the pay change has gone into effect.

Cons

It times out relatively quickly - within 15 minutes.

### "A powerful tool that requires lots of training and proper set up"

January 19, 2018

3.0

There is no perfect enterprise HR solution out that that I have found, but Workday is among a few that really can do it all for medium and larger organizations. Just be prepared for some headache and learning curve in the beginning phases.

Pros

The templates for task completion can be very useful. Once I had the dashboard fully configured, it was much easier to navigate and had a nice look and feel to the UI. It seems organized and works best when you have an organization with a dedicated HRIS person or team. It is fully end-to-end and has lots of features.

Cons

It can feel a bit overwhelming at times, especially in the beginning. It feels like there are many unnecessary "clicks," and it seems like it takes you in circles. The implementation was very rough, because there were so many questions and confusion all around. We could have done a better job with change management.

### "Solid Product"

September 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

I think Workday has everything you need for a basic HR software. It's easy to access timekeeping, PTO, and directories.

Cons

It is somewhat hard to navigate through changing personal info. There are multiple different areas you have to go on your profile depending on what you need to update which can be confusing for users.
