Excellent human resource management is made possible by Workday's integrated platform. Insights and statistics regarding employee preferences are provided, allowing for more informed decision making.

Pros

Workday is flexible software that facilitates many different aspects of human resource management. Workday HCM has user-friendly data analytics. By collecting and analyzing this data, we may gain useful understanding and improve our approaches to workforce management.

Cons

Workday does not offer a lot of room for user input. It also has trouble merging with other programs on occasion. In addition, there are sometimes technical difficulties. I think the user interface could use some work.

Pros

Bring HR and finance close together in Workday. It only took a bit of time for getting an idea of what was going on there

Cons

It’s hard to use initially particularly for beginners. No way to make serious modifications

It seems like a tool that allows a lot of integrations which allows for efficiencies and gives the feeling of just one comprehensive tool for everything HR. And one can use it on the go through the app

Pros

I have only recently started using Workday, but it seems like a good tool that allows many integrations and therefore the feeling for the end user is that it is a comprehensive tool.
Beyond the standard HR information one might need (salary, time off, etc.), my skills profile (from the recruitment stage) is integrated with the skill-building systems (courses, etc.) and the mentoring platform of the company.
Another couple of feature I found useful (especially as a new starter) were the admin assistance chat, also integrated within the platform and the org chart.
Logging in is made easy and they offer an app.

Cons

Nothing major negative to report at this stage.
