### "I use this at work to manage my time off, benefits, etc."

May 4, 2018

5.0

Easy to use and very user friendly. It helps to request time off and manage benefits in a much smoother fashion.

Pros

It is very user friendly. I can access workday from my laptop or phone. I can easily use the software to request time-off, view paychecks, communicate with my manager, and view personal information

Cons

The phone application doesn't have all of the features that the web application has. I am unable to view internal careers open within my company on my phone but I am able to do it through the web application.

### "If only it remembered your info"

May 19, 2020

5.0

I have to constantly make new accounts every time I run into Workday but I can see it as a good substitute for companies who can't or don't know how to build out a careers portal.

Pros

Intuitive and easy to use. The platform is clearly directed to help you finish the next steps in the process. It can be a good substitute for companies that lack a career portal.

Cons

Lacking from the user end. You have to create a new account every time when applying to other job applications. It would be very convenient if Workday saved your info and imported it every time with just a login.

### "HR resources all in one spot"

December 21, 2021

4.0

It's been great using Workday! I'm glad we have a resource like this available for employees. It enables them to find information themselves without having to constantly ask others. It definitely streamlines things for us.

Pros

Workday provides us with one spot where we can see all our employee resources such as L&D, time off, benefits, compensations, and more. They also released this new feature that enables employees to upload vaccine cards, which we love!

Cons

This product is currently meeting all of our needs.

### "Workday Benefits Simplified Our Processes"

March 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

Ease of administration and end user processes.

Cons

We had to reassign naming conventions to so many items that were previously codes in all of our HRIS si the learning curve for administrators was larger than anticipated.

### "Gets the Job Done"

March 26, 2020

3.0

As the review title suggests, Workday accomplishes its goals. It's not my favorite HR program, but its fine.

Pros

Companies need a way to manage their HR and payroll information and get people paid. Mine uses Workday to track hours, collect tax form and bank account information, and log pay stubs. One nice feature is two-factor authentication for added security.

Cons

The program is clunky. Keeping track of hourly work can be a headache, so it works better for salaried positions. Be prepared for a lot of steps and emails, particularly during onboarding.

### "Workday Review"

October 23, 2023

5.0

Any firm wishing to simplify its HR operations will find it to be a useful asset thanks to its user-friendly design, cloud-based accessibility, extensive functionality, and first-rate support. For any company looking for a cutting-edge and efficient human capital management system, I wholeheartedly suggest Workday HCM.

Pros

What I like the most about Workday HCM is its cloud-based accessibility. We have 24/7 access to our HR data thanks to Workday's cloud-based technology. Because of this, we have been able to work remotely and smoothly maintain business continuity during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Cons

What I least like about it is its poor customer assistance. We haven't had the best experiences with Workday's customer assistance. Response times have been delayed, and when we do get help, the solutions given sometimes do not completely address our worries or problems

### "Very easy to use system "

April 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

You can set the system to have all approvals and all of your on boarding done. It is easy for the applicants as well since they have an account and it links to their personal email to send all correspondence.

Cons

It can take longer if all individual approvers do not respond quickly. There can be man steps to achieve the same result as walking a document to each person.

### "Goal settings and careen development plan"

June 17, 2021

4.0

I use the software for setting my goals and also for career developments. I also use it to submit my CV file for other companies that uses that SW.

Pros

Graphical and dashboard for career development. Setting goals is easy and short.

Cons

I think the GUI is good enough but it can be enhanced more.

May 13, 2022

4.0

### "Workday Review"

July 5, 2020

2.0

Implementation we had was easy to use, not able to see the teams external training courses on there, and also the issue described above. I would no recommend it.

Pros

The product is intuitive, doesnt take long to be able to navigate around the tool. As a manage of people, I was quickly able to see the information I needed.

Cons

As a job seeker, it is appaling - it asks you to drag and drop your CV on the first page of the application, but never - and I have used the tool with no less than 10 times - pulls in the right information. This means you end up entering your whole CV in anyway - sort it out!!

### "A great way to recognize your employees"

August 23, 2019

4.0

Pros

As humans, it's important to us to be recognized for our hard work. A lot of employees will even quit a job if they feel they're not being thanked or recognized for their contributions. This is a great way for employees to say, "Hey, I worked extra hard on so and so and this is what I did to make the project successful." It boosts morale, generally speaking.

Cons

There are SO many features that this software can take a good bit of time to learn. Also, if your HR department isn't on top of updating access, it can be hard to edit or get to some pages you want.

### "Pretty good, not sure if it's the best but is one of the best."

April 26, 2023

5.0

Pretty good overall, it is clear, straightforward and easy to use, all you seek on an HR software.

Pros

It is ridiculously easy to use, it took me literal minutes to learn to use it the first time I got access to it.

Cons

It takes some time to load some things, but that might not be related to the software itself but to other external factors.

We use workday for benefits as well as other things such as pay and performance monitoring.

Pros

It is a simply designed website that is easy to navigate and makes viewing your benefits and picking your benefits or even changing your benefits simple and hassle free.

Cons

I don't know of many cons about workday. It has always been pretty simple to use and I can't think of any issues.

Workday is an efficient and user-friendly database for employee information. What's great is that it doesn't take much introduction to learn how to use. The information is all shown clearly or easy to find.

### "Workday is only good if you have an HRIT team"

February 10, 2017

4.0

Workday is a big system and not for a small Company. They are also expensive and use a ticketing customer service model so you can't just pick up the phone and call when you have an issue. Once you do put in a ticket it is a 24-72 hour turnaround before they even call back. They also charge by the hour for the service. If you want to make any changes to it, you have to be able to code at a certain level and then again, they charge you for everything. Including setting up Open Enrollment for Benefits to setting up Performance Management.

Pros

Once it is up and running it is sophisticated.

Cons

Too expensive for smaller company and too difficult to understand at first.
