I use Workday HCM to manage goals for my team, and it gives me insights into how they are doing. I really appreciate how it lets me approve time off requests and provide feedback to my team based on their performance. It's a great tool for communication, helping me track progress throughout the year and manage bonuses and payroll all in one place. I like that I can provide an onboarding guide to new employees and show them tax forms and paystubs. It's also easy with Workday HCM to share experiences and feedback between managers and employees, helping improve things we need to work on and continue doing well. The setup was really easy, and it makes the onboarding process for new employees much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that the app should encourage you more to use some of their features like, for example, job aids or career hub - learning, so we can keep improving as workers. Show you that that is available, probably give you some reminders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday helps me manage my attendance and leaves in a user friendly manner. You can use it to refer your friends and it also can save your work documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is lagging sometimes and very slow to load at times. The UI has many glitches and many times very difficult to find an option we really require like correction of absence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Workday HCM is its ability to bring HR, payroll, recruiting, talent management, and reporting into one integrated platform. It provides real-time data visibility, simplifies workforce processes, and improves decision-making through strong analytics and dashboards. I also appreciate its user-friendly interface and cloud-based model, which allows organizations to adapt quickly and continuously improve without complex upgrade cycles. Overall, Workday HCM helps organizations operate more efficiently while creating a better employee and manager experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One challenge with Workday HCM is that while the platform is highly configurable, some business processes and reporting requirements can become complex to maintain without experienced administrators or technical support. Certain advanced reporting and integrations also require a deeper understanding of the system, which can create a learning curve for new users.

Another limitation is that organizations sometimes rely on multiple modules or third-party integrations to achieve very specific functionality, which can increase implementation effort and change management needs. Overall, while Workday is powerful and flexible, maximizing its value requires strong governance, training, and ongoing optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Workday HCM reduces inconsistencies in employee data across systems by serving as a central source of truth. It simplifies onboarding, offboarding, and role updates, which improves user provision and reduces manual work between HR and IT systems. I find the workflow automation and approvals well-structured, ensuring processes are followed consistently. The reporting feature is useful, providing quick access to reliable employee data without needing extra manual extraction from multiple systems, which is very helpful.

One area that could be improved is flexibility in certain configurations. Some changes require more administrative effort or vendor support than expected for integration. Troubleshooting can also be time-consuming when data issues occur between Workday HCM and external systems. Additionally, some reports require adjustments to get exactly the needed view, which can add extra steps for technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Workday HCM is the UI/UX. Similar to how I use Canva, I really appreciate a clean interface where I can take an idea and put it into action right away. The dashboard feels visual and intuitive, and it doesn’t come across like “boring HR software.” Whether I’m using it on my iPhone or on my desktop, the experience stays seamless and consistent. I also like the AI/Intelligence features, which work like a virtual assistant by helping me find the right data or draft documents without spending hours digging through menus.

As I’ve seen with other platforms, the pricing is a major hurdle. It’s clearly a premium product with a premium price tag. The ROI can make sense for large companies, but for a growing team, the cost of adding seats or additional modules can increase significantly. On top of that, you have to factor in ongoing training, because the system updates so frequently that it’s easy for your team to fall behind on how to use the newer features.

I have found Workday HCM to be great for HR and Payroll. As an end user, the options are clear and easy to use. As an admin, I appreciate the platform's ability to integrate with almost any platform, which has been incredibly useful. The feature I relied on most was the sync with Okta for end user provisioning. The ability to integrate with most major platforms is something I like most about Workday HCM.

Because the platform has the ability to integrate with HR, Finance, and Telnet platforms, admins really need to plan what is expected on the user experience side, or you risk overcomplicating and overwhelming them with too many options. Workday should provide a more robust admin support portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Workday HCM is pretty simple and intuitive. It's easy to use, and I can manage a lot of data within it. The fields and areas are well-organized, making it holistic for storing and analyzing information. I like the filter reporting features, which allow me to do a lot with the data. Also, getting started with Workday HCM was very easy and intuitive for me. It's easy to navigate and things are well explained and laid out. The speed is good, and I find the notifications to be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there certainly could be integration of AI into it. It still feels like a bit of a primitive platform. It could probably be improved with AI capabilities, reporting capabilities, and integration with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Workday HCM is that it keeps all HR processes in one place and makes information easy to access. I also like its analytics and reporting features because they help organizations make better decisions based on real data rather than assumptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I find a bit challenging about Workday HCM is that some processes can feel complex at first, especially for new users. However, once you become familiar with the system and its workflow, it becomes much easier to navigate and use effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity in the application. I am able to utilize it easily and teach employees. Our company is also able to continue to add more functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at the moment, i haven't ran in to any issues using the application. There is alot of learning to do on it still but someone is typically available to assist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciated the modules in Workday HCM, especially for our learning platform; it was easy to track that people were taking their training and staying on top of it. I also liked being able to load reports based on ad hoc needs, and it was sometimes easy to get data even though I wasn't directly in charge. The product seemed to have been very categorical, which was useful until we moved to another system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Workday HCM too clunky with lots of requirements. It takes a lot of time to load people during onboarding, sometimes it takes hours. I'd like to see more automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
