Overall Satisfaction with Workday HRMS
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.
- Employees basic data is easily accessed.
- Easy for employees to request time off and update their personal information.
- Benefits open enrollment has been made easier.
- 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."
- Oracle PeopleSoft
Being that they were created by the same person, I would've hoped to see better functionality out of Workday. However, Workday continues to roll out new versions on a regular basis that hopefully it will get more and more user friendly over time.
