Workday HCM Reviews & Product Details

I think workday hcm is current leader in the market with most of companies already onboard with the Workday HCM and it will be safe to say that it is quite useful in multiple ways for us as a HR , First of all the service of sending tasks to multiple groups and multiple people makes it very helpful for us as hr to complete various tasks which might have required so much effort by doing them manually .

The configuration of business processes is also very easy and i think anyone with very little experience can do it so fast ,using the intiuitive buttons and just drag drop the functions to desired row and we are done ,we can then run the task with any defined role.

It is also easy to set up profiles and see various details of profile from different views.i think it is amazing that we can have profile of every employee then also link them to the team tree , which ahead links to the company tree and anyone can go the profile of the employee and see where the tree is connecting from and where will it join the senior management making it easy for everyone to track employee manager and senior management relationship.

I also like the UI it is nice and colorful although sometimes it is bit slow but it is very stable inmost of the times which is great.

I like that notification link to email also which is very useful to remind of tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i dont like the learning curve associated with workday as i think it makes the application to be very hard for use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to easily customize throughout Workday, from reporting and employee data to business processes and approvals, makes the system a very valuable tool for HR and other departments who have the chance to use it. The process to set up integrations with benefit vendors, payroll systems, etc. although it can take time to set up is also incredibly helpful to save time and energy in the long term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although most all aspects of the system are customizable and able to be changed, there are some delivered reports and processes that cannot be updated. For example, some data cannot be exported from certain reports. I believe with each new release, Workday will continue to improve and take customer feedback into consideration.

It proceeds to obtain ease of use in its controls to carry out its daily work, as it is a system that takes care of the processes that require accounting for the maintenance of human capital, which is very useful for many organizations, for their employees and workers acquire their commissions for the work they constantly perform, including that one of the most outstanding aspects of this software is the pending payroll reports and the precise amount that must be sent, being of great support for many corporations, including that it is flexible in most of its functionalities, because we can customize it, as long as they are based on and stick to your requirements.

You could maintain a more graphical user interface with better illustrations, to decorate your home page with more striking and coherent content, in order to effectively publicize your operational processes within a business platform, highlighting that it would be great if it would integrate curves of learning to know and specialize in how to use this application of acquisitive importance, since its functions are somewhat complex for beginners.

The goal setting feature and feedback raising feature to the seniors along with the onboarding and leave request feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many fonts are not available while writing notes and feedbacks and many text editing features are missing from the workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I manage to consolidate the advantages of mine, PTO and also review choices, on a certain area. I think also it's a lot more robust/needs a great deal smaller in downtime than our earlier software. In addition, workday includes regular computer user logins, password established, internet time sheet etc which I are looking for. I actually love the ability to find HR related functions/questions / info on one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only complaint of mine is I've had the opportunity to directly edit several of the info and reviewer of the team member of mine on my to promote from our older platform. I believe it is a far more long process to personally update from the point of mine and via a number of people outside my instant department, whether since of a shortage of access rights, or just because the department of mine of HR has proven it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the simplicity with which time has proved helpful also time of asking for policies. The method works really well for the colleagues of mine, and I can revise the entries and distribute them to my boss easily. Sending notifications to everybody about updating info on a working day is one more great feature that we frequently use. It is likewise good to get a fast link function, as it tends to make things a lot easier to get in a time crunch. Its payroll function has also been helpful to me, and I love to have the ability to return as well as see previous checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The procedure may be tiring. Whenever I make something different, it experiences top management. The process and the objectives of self assessment were additionally very difficult. There were a few steps, and I did not understand why that was the way in which it had to be. They had been simply meant to make almost everything offered online rather than us needing to publish a word docs of our assessments and goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Workday replaces several softwares that our institution was using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday is not always intuitive. Even with training videos, simple functions like correcting time off balances are difficult. Our Workday is programed in hours and can not switch to days and half-days. It's irritating trying to calculate how many days off I have left when it's listed in hours.

Apparently, Workday has caused major issues with hundreds of employees not being paid. This issue has forced my colleagues into working a huge amount of overtime to problem-solve. As of October, hundreds of employees had not been able to be paid through Workday since August! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Workday is very user friendly, both on the administration side and the end user. As an administrator I love that we can be self-sufficient. If we need to create a new report or update a report we can do that. If we need to update or create a new business process or workflow we can do that.

I also love that Workday has a whole suite of products that work together. It makes system fatigue less for the end user when they can look at their payslip, change their home address, open a position for recruitment, process an expense request or take a required work training all in one place!

Lastly, I love that Workday has fantastic resources like community! I go to community to search for best practices and how other users have solved issues often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much that I dislike about Workday. There is a bit of a learning curve and takes some time to learn the Workday language. There are times I have wished Workday was more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the tool is very clear - the dashboard and the user interface is very functional. We can grant access to our employees and assign different user groups with different editing rights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overtime can only be evaluated according to the month in which it was worked, so unfortunately the payment is always delayed by one month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday does have lots of useful functionality that covers a wide range of use cases. It is set up in such a way to be relatively easy to access, and it does contain lots of information in it that is useful for the end user. While there are almost certainly better options out there in the world, at a minimum it is useful for the things that you would most likely intend to use it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of the functionality that the end user might want to use is buried in places that are really very hidden and hard to find. As an example, to find my salary and other compensation details, I have to navigate through probably four or five different screens, and then find it buried in a random menu bar in a random place on the screen. Really not an ideal user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All my benefits and explanation of my position with Bright Horizons has been easy to access for the most part, even from multiple devices. The interface design has been easy to recieve directions when asked to navigate from my higher ups at work, even when they are given over the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There has been some issues loading occasionally when I was working regularly at work with it. Also these days due to the Pandemic, there seems to be issues logging in. But this may be due to a large number of other Users logging in causing freezing or lagging. If this would be remedied, it would be much better to get through! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Various work life features are properly segregated and organized, which makes it easier to navigate as well as use. I like the user profile section the best, as it provide all the necessary details in various sections. Also, lets you edit then and there in case you need to modify something, if you're eligible to, thus provides security too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are somethings in workday which are a little rudimentary. For example, when I used to fill job applications in workday for various companies, there were some fields which it will make the registered user to fill in every single application. The same details could be saved once for general section like Gender, Location, Work Authorization details etc. This will save users a lot of time if they spend a lot of time on workday. The similar issues exist in various sections of an employee dashboard (account). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the help of workday, we have easy access to tax documents, benefits of the company, Performance review, career goals, requesting for PTO and sick day, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I don't have any issues with the workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started using Workday 4 years ago. It took me around a week to master it, that’s how user friendly it is! It is best for mid to large companies, creates reports and analyzes data. It is very convenient for every single person in the organization; whether an employee, a manager or the HR where I was working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a clear list of all reports I can pull from WD. May be there is but it wasn’t available where I worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system has endless functionalities and you can tailor it to suit your businesses requirements. It has the functionality to be the main HR integrated system allowing you to manage the whole employee lifecycle including Recrutiment and onboarding, performance management, payroll, compensation and benefits as well as the leavers process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If bought ‘off the shelf’ it can be difficult to implement and training will be required on how to fully utilise the system. It’s not easy to pick up with little to no knowledge of the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is very easy navigate and automates even the most trivial functions like applying for leaves , approvals, keeping track of holidays, general employee information and more all in one place making it very easy to keep track such details.

I personally also like the organisation chart available in workday making it easy to understand the organisation structure especially for a new joinee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally I've had to login multiple times as my account wouldn't remain logged in but it is a minor hassle considering all things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
