### "Workforce - Great product, easy to use."

May 2, 2019

5.0

We have been using Workday for several years now, as the IT guy, I do not have to do much to get it working and to keep it working. As a user, and for a while a manager that had to do evaluations, this tool made that easier to do.

Pros

The ease of you and functionality of the software. The functions that you can due with Workday is amazing. Really like the Goal setting and tracking of achievements, makes employee evaluations easier to do.

Cons

Entering of goals can be a little time consuming, but worth the time it takes.

### "Looks like it has a bunch of features"

March 24, 2020

3.0

It's been a serviceable piece of software and is easy to add my PTO and check my goals/performance.

Pros

For the most part, Workday is easy to use and looks like it has a bunch of features. As an individual contributor, these features aren't realized for me, but I can see how they would be helpful. Regardless, it is very easy to log goals and set PTO.

Cons

Some pieces of the software can be not intuitive like editing goals and saving. I'm never sure if it gets auto-saved and which pieces are saved.

### "Esssential tool for headcounting management"

November 19, 2020

4.0

As big companies keep expanding their headcounts, Workday offers a functional, even if not easy to implement solution.

Pros

The Workday server can process very large amounts of data containing information for employees and sensible data is very well protected.

Cons

It's not an easy platform to get used to. You need to be very picky and precise about the format the data is being uploaded so the server don't mess them up.

### "Benefits well displayed"

January 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like the ease of accessibility of my documents. Electronic handling of these documents is also eco-friendly.

Cons

Software may benefit from user interface update. Sometimes it feels to go to different parts you get stuck in a loop.

### "Managing your team and working together"

November 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

I have used Workday in two different companies and it provides many great tools to manage your staff and have your staff manage their time and expenses.

Cons

Depending on the deployment there are certain functions that Workday does great and a few its not the best solution, but it is an all-in-one solution

### "Good but I don’t have a point of comparison "

October 31, 2019

4.0

I’m using it to approve my employees’ timesheets. It works well for this.

Pros

I like how it has my benefits and hours worked. I also like that it reminds me of my employees’ birthdays. I wish it had a way for my employees to swap shifts and chat with each other.

Cons

I wish it had a chat feature and an integrated method for my employees to swap shifts. Maybe it does and I don’t know how to find it.

### "Workday is a simple and reliable hub for all of our HR needs"

January 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

The Workday home screen makes life easy for employees from day 1. I love the simple tasks-to-be-done feature, time tracking, personal details, org charts, etc. are all easily accessible. I have never had a reliability issue with Workday.

Cons

I wish there was a way to auto-load hours for hourly employees so that I don't have to go in week-by-week and fill in my hours, given that my hours each week will be the same.

### "Our company looked into Workday"

April 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

My company looked into purchasing the workday platform and we loved every aspect of it. Unfortunately the leaders thought that going with a noname system was better. I disagree.

Cons

I have no cons about the workday system. There is a lot of functionality and it is extremely user friendly.

We use Workday to track hours and do payroll for employees.

Pros

I was able to easily maneuver my way around Workday to find my hours and paystub. Visually appealing.

It seemed as though there were a lot of pages to go through to be able to find some things that I wanted.

March 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Workday has a clean, simple and straightforward interface, which makes for a good user experience. It's easy to navigate and understand.

The search function could use some work. If I'm trying to find something specific, a keyword search does not seem to come up with relevant suggestions.

### "Excellent software for payroll"

October 30, 2017

5.0

Pros

Salary breakup representation is very good and informative. Time off feature is very well maintained.

The only drawback is its slow processing, in 100mbps LAN usually it take 20 seconds to open. SSO is slow too.

### "Simple and consistent. Fairly user friendly."

March 28, 2018

4.0

We used Work Day to manage all of our payroll, employee benefits etc. It was an easy interface to have access to all of your work related information in regards to benefits and pay.

Pros

It is visually set up in a way that makes it very easy to navigate. You can find all of the information you need very easily. I did not have an experience with the customer support portion of the program. I am also not aware of the cost, to know if it is of good value, but overall is a good product.

Cons

I felt like the scheduling module could have been easier to use. It seems that you have submitted leave requests, but there are additional steps needed.

### "Workday "

September 16, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like that I can now do most of my HR decisions in one place. I am able to update my withholdings etc in this new platform and before I had to reach out to payroll myself to update this. I can check my hours for the month and confirm that they are correct, ask for time off, look for job opportunities etc.

Cons

Not able to do referral of an employee for a specific position that is open for recruitment.

Sometimes not so clear where things are on the website. Had to google how to find where the direct deposit information was and how to change it. Also unable to view information from

### "Workday Benefits is an easy way for employees to view and change their benefit elections. "

July 18, 2017

5.0

I use it quite often to review or change my benefits, beneficiaries, or dependents.

Pros

Ease of use and the quality look of the whole software--Simplistic looks allow for ease of use but these layouts and scheme are exactly what is needed for any person to use and understand the product. I highly appreciate how easy it is for employees to have a part in viewing/changing their own benefits, beneficiaries, and dependents.

Cons

The only suggestion I would make is to increase the height of the viewing boxes. Currently, they are cut off directly after the last line, appearing cramped. However, this is aesthetics.

### "Workday"

June 3, 2021

4.0

It is taking some getting use to for sure. I'm sure after I've used it a little longer it will be a little easier to navigate.

Pros

One thing that I do like is how everything is so separated out by apps. So you can click individually on exactly what you are wanting to do.

Cons

This is very new to my company using and it is not as user friendly as our past program. It seems like a lot more steps to go through.
