Pros

This tool is fairly easy to use. Easy to request time off and manage other things related to my employment

Nothing that I can think of, though I don't really have anything to compare it to. And, I am a user of the tool and not an admin.

### "Workday HCM is great for employee management"

December 9, 2021

5.0

Overall has been a wonderful tool for all Human Resource needs. I highly recommend it.

Pros

I like that offers a lot of features for performance management, filling out feedback and talent acquisition. It's a one stop shop for a lot of Human Resource needs. It empowers mid level management to be more productive.

Cons

Initial set up is quite complicated and needs specialized workday admin to set up. It needs prior workday knowledge. I wish it was more of a out of the box solution that doesn't need specialized administrative knowledge.

October 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

This software makes it easy to access things benefits, pay, on-boarding and training. It's a one stop shop.

Cons

The only con I could see happening would be if your company or employer don't maximize this software to its full potential.

### "Student perspective on workday"

May 13, 2021

4.0

Pros

I do like how all features related to your employee profile are seamlessly integrated. For the most part, different features are easy to find and use.

Cons

Some of the documents in workday are not easily accessible for the user. For example, searching for my W2 document is always difficult to find ever year.

August 27, 2019

3.0

Pros

Once you find what you're looking for, it's nice to have everything in one place.

It's hard to get around in the software. The design is oversimplified and doesn't make me want to use it.

### "Workday works"

April 13, 2019

4.0

Pros

It's easy to use and keeps all of my HR tracking in one place. Much better UI than many other HR products.

Cons

The notification system is a bit unintuitive - notifications show up in two places, and only some are pushed to email.

September 6, 2019

### "Workday navigation needs improvement"

July 19, 2017

3.0

Pros

The user interface is clear when entering performance reviews. It creates a string of actions between the employee and the manager.

Cons

Action items go into the "inbox" and without a notice there, it is very difficult to find an old action item for review. Multiple modules within the Workday interface are not well described, and the user may have to hunt for specific modules.

### "My experience with Workday"

December 15, 2022

4.0

Pros

It is a good all-in-one tool to manage employees of an organisation across talent and performance management, onboarding, leave/absence management.

Cons

UI is a bit complicated to understand where to go for which option. This can be made simpler with a combined menu to access different things.Every time you have to search the thing you are looking for and follow the steps in the documentation to access that page.

### "Workday works"

November 22, 2019

4.0

Pros

Simple and easy to use. This is a good program to access company internal information and policies. Primarily used it for timekeeping and employment records.

Cons

I used this program while at a previous employer. This program may be much better than I rated it due to my previous employer having such a poor ability to adapt to technology. We had very limited integrations for training resources and organized information which isn't a result of the product, but more them employer who provides this information within Workday.

### "Workday is hands down the best HR System that I have worked with! "

August 9, 2018

5.0

I'm a huge fan of Workday - makes my job so much fun being able to support it!

Pros

The configurability throughout the system makes it easy for the functional folks to be able to primarily support it.

Cons

Sometimes with it being so easy to use it can be a little challenging for instance with the "google" search approach - it's easy when you can guess the right word(s) - and sometimes this is very simple but it can be frustrating if you don't know the key words to use.

December 21, 2021

3.0

Pros

Provides a useful central hub for HR-related matters (payslips, mandatory training, booking time off).

Cons

Having to log in via Microsoft Authenticator every time (NB: this may depend on how the software has been set up & not be everyone's experience...).
