    What I like about it is Workday offers different features, from your business calendar, to your performance management, to your salary pay, up until your personal information. You can even find office announcements and feedback from colleagues there too. They even offer shortcuts for easier navigation. I make sure to use it on a monthly basis, maybe thrice a month.

    It is a complete waste of time and energy, and it discourages any business activity, because of the torturous use and reporting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Just about everything. It's so non-user friendly, it's really unfortunate. My biggest gripe would be allowing only immediate supervisors to view staff information but other management that oversees them cannot view anything. It's difficult to maneuver around and find and select the areas specific to your needs. It also requires an entirely different staff to manage it and it disallows those that really have the need for the information to access it without requiring them to have unnecessary responsibilities.

    Hidden required fields. Too many ways to get to a destination so you're never sure if you're where you're supposed to be. Just a mess, visually and functionally. I can go on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    I would recommend this app to anyone with a business. If you need payroll, schedules, PTO accumulation and much more this is the program for you!

    Fix your horrible time submission functionality, save your end-users dozens of hours annually, and I'll improve this review.

    It is used across the entire organization as our primary HRIS/Payroll system. It allows real-time access to employee data and metrics to management.
    The user interface is intuitive and familiar. It mimics the current Apple interface, so end-users are not intimidated by the design. It is highly configurable. It allows you to set up processes and workflows that make sense for your business. It has a great support system. The Workday Community is great for general questions and networking with other Workday professionals. And the Workday Support site is a fast and efficient way to get your problems resolved.

    We implement Workday for organizations (Partner with Workday), as well as use Workday in our own organization. We use Workday across our entire organization. All of our departments use it for Goal Setting, Performance Reviews, Time Off, and Personal Information (such as Emergency Contact information). We are moving towards using Workday for Benefits as well. It addresses the need for a "one-stop-shop" for our employees, a better User Experience.
    Workday has a very responsive customer support staff. Workday is very concerned about quality, and has put many checkpoints in place to ensure the product customers receive is built with the utmost precision. Workday is great about giving customers what they want. They are continuously evolving, improving, releasing new functionality, and solutions each week, to meet the needs of their clients.

    Workday is our new HRIS that has replaced SAP company-wide. We are using Workday as our system of record and strategic platform for performance management, hiring and onboarding, expense management and human capital management. With Workday, we streamlined our open enrollment process from last year, we've reduced the time it takes for HR business partners to support their customers, and we've reduced data entry errors significantly. Automating employee self service tasks has also freed up our HR team to address more strategic issues and perform fewer transactional tasks.
    Intuitive system: employees who are even minimally tech savvy can find more than one way to complete the task they are trying to do by themselves. Customizable and flexible business processes: Workday has the ability to adapt to a changing workforce and changing processes and policies very easily. Cloud based: Employees can access Workday from any computer and complete processes we need them to in a timely manner, without having to be logged into our company network.

    Workday was implemented to automate and streamline the company wide human resource management processes. Mainly communicating to the employees and have them manage there own HR requests. Also, a cloud based, non-enterprise solution was required, allowing for minimal internal IT resources. Plus it had to interface with the existing payroll system.
    Their project management implementation staff needs vast improvement There releases need to be more thoroughly tested. Very limited reporting ability without brining on highly technical consultants and in most cases virtually impossible Management response to customer issues was somewhat non-existant, we had to raise it to the executive level. too many release at the time. web-services did not work as documented and very limited.

    I use Workday for managing candidates. Applications, contracts, checking information about managers. Job advert and all infomation about advirtesed jobs.
    Show error messages with the exact error instead of No candidate available. Example at goverment questioner- check goverment questioner or something like that. Show interview feedback from the link of the notifications of it. Show the copy candidate to an other req beside the other buttons. Be able to change compensation grade in the compansation grade field. Possibility to delete inbox items pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese! Having clickable options for everything instead of searching it with writing it in the searchbar. This is particulary annoying.

    Workday is utilized by the company as a whole. Human Resources utilizes it for employee information such as basic data, compensation, benefits, etc and reporting. Finance utilizes it for expenses request, for determining cost allocations and such. Employees are using it to request days off and for self service transactions such as name and address changes.
    Reporting is not user friendly. The expense system is confusing to most users. If you accidently hit one wrong button, you lose all your data and are required to redo it all. If the AP team denies a request you also have to reenter everything if you're correcting and trying to resubmit. Some of the tabs are confusing too. You have Job History, Worker History, etc. Some of the info overlaps, other info doesn't and then you can never remember what you clicked on if you ever need to get back to it. I'm fairly technically savvy, so it definitely isn't "operator error."

    Overall: We tried for years to handle payroll on our own. We were lucky that we did not make any grievous mistakes during that time. Once we realized just how little we did know about payroll and tax compliance, we were terrified that we could be doing something that would jeopardize our non-profit status. We initially considered bringing on a new staff member to do nothing but payroll. When we realized just how expensive this addition would be, we opted to look for software options. Workday has checked every box we needed.

    Overall: I've used the Recruiting module for three years now, I can't help but wonder if the development team has involved an experienced recruiter when developing the module. I honestly don't think that Workday is ready to roll out to the market. If you are the decision maker consider buying this application, you really should include your recruiters' opinions.

    Overall: Its a must try software for matrix organizations. It can solve all the problems but need someone specialist on products. Heavy training is required for advance features.
