### "Workday HCM"

December 3, 2019

4.0

When i teach summer school, this is the software we have to use to get paid. I prefer it to traditional paperwork because you can see exactly what information your employer has and if there is anything you still need to submit.

Pros

This software is a one stop place to check to see if you are missing any important personal paperwork for your job. It is also used to clock in and clock out of work everyday.

Cons

The software is a little buggy. Sometimes after completing a task, it would still show up in my inbox. I would have to reload the page or sometimes log out and log back in to make it go away.

### "Powerful tool, many features"

November 9, 2017

4.0

Great software and a decent price point. Good for non profits as well!

Pros

Workday has a lot of features and uses. We ran almost everything through it from personnel data, time tracking, reviews, forms and more. The possibilities are endless.

Cons

The backend of setting up certain features can be a bit cumbersome. Takes several people long hours to maintain and manage system.

### "Workday Benefits - 2019"

September 10, 2019

4.0

My overall experience has been decent. It's easy to use and makes enrolling for benefits quick and easy.

Pros

I like making my benefit elections online during open enrollment. It's easy to go through and quickly make your selections. I like how the main page with show the current cost of your monthly benefits. It's also easy to add dependents or beneficiaries and make changes.

Cons

No cons to report at this time. I've had no issues with the software. It's easy to use and fairly user friendly. If I don't know how to do something I'll just call my HR team and they will walk me though what I need to do.

### "WorkDay"

February 7, 2020

4.0

Mostly great. Moved from an SAP based HR management system that was difficult to configure and required repeated employee training. The guided workflows are key to the product.

Pros

Coming from an SAP based HR management system WorkDay is a breath of fresh air. The UI and guided workflows make tasks much easier. The ability to configure workflows and notifications are extremely useful for both simple and complex tasks.

Cons

At times it can be difficult to find specific information if you haven't received a notification for it. Also, we have implemented the org chart feature and not being able to export a printable version (that I know of) has been an issue.

### "Workday Benefits - Useful and Intuitive"

June 11, 2020

4.0

As an end user who is also in IT, I have found Workday to be a value to the organization. Employees are able to view their benefits, make changes and updates from a computer, tablet or the mobile app. This makes it much friendlier to use and available on platforms that are most comfortable for an end user.

Pros

The ease of navigating through the site. I'm able to find what I am looking for that pertains to my personal situation, with ease. The interface is intuitive and allows even novice users to find what they are needing.

Cons

As with most of what I have seen of Workday, there are times when you cannot get to a previous page or to the home page without clicking the logo. Other than that, I've not had much in the way of negative experiences within Workday.

### "A good tool that is close to being great."

December 5, 2019

It helps with our organization and keeps things going, but could be a lot better with just a few tweaks.

Pros

Workday has a ton of features and is pretty high customization. It does the work it needs to do well.

Cons

It is not as user friendly as it should be. Sometimes navigation is overly complicated and it runs a little slow at times.

### "Fine HR System"

December 11, 2019

4.0

The best thing about workday is that it’s 20 systems in 1

Pros

We use Workday for almost everything HR related. It’s nice that managers get involved in the HR processes. Also employees can manage their personal information.

Cons

Managers often call HR because they think it’s complicated how the system works. But we’re still implimenting the system and continuing to improve it. We definitely expect that managers will understand it better once the implementation is done.

### "Workday's Mobile App is a Game-Changer"

June 30, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with is a solid 5/5! What truly stands out is the mobile app's incredible ease of use and accessibility. It makes managing my work life so much smoother. I absolutely love how effortless it is to add, review, edit, and submit expense reports while I'm on the go. Plus, having instant access to view and review my paychecks directly within the app is incredibly convenient. My only minor suggestion would be for the "Most Used Apps" section on the home screen to actually reflect my real usage, like putting Expenses and Pay right at the top. Despite that small tweak, Workday is an indispensable tool.

Pros

What I really love about Workday, and what sets it apart, is just how easy and accessible its mobile app is for expense reports and paycheck access. Adding, reviewing, editing, and submitting expenses and expense reports right from my phone is incredibly convenient. While the expense occurs, I can just snap a picture of the receipt (or upload an attachment), fill in the details, and save it to the report. No more having to spend an hour after the trip trying to remember what all expenses I incurred. Secondly, there's the paycheck access. Being able to view and review my paychecks directly in the app whenever I need to is super helpful.

Cons

What I like least about Workday is honestly the "Most Used Apps" section on the app home screen. It's a bit baffling because, even though I use the mobile app all the time for things like expense reports and viewing my pay, those have never been in my top three, and I cannot customize what shows up there. Instead, I always see "Time Tracking," "Absence," and "Org Chart" listed, which I have never used. It would be so much more helpful and intuitive if that section actually reflected my real usage, so my go-to "Expense Reports" and "Pay" were always front and center. It just feels like a missed opportunity for true personalization and efficiency.
