Workday
Workday has solved many organizational needs we have from tracking time and attendance, performance and goals, compliance trainings, benefits and so much more. It is easy to adjust schedules, assign attendance points, run reports and more to keep up with employee performance. Being able to source new employees (in and out of the network) all within the same platform that we track time and benefits helps solve many needs in just one easy to use platform.

  • In-process referrals don't always show up in the "My Referrals" tab
  • Filters on tasks don't always work.

Workday
The UI is intimidating for a lot of people. You have to get used to where to click and search for specific information. What we have found that works is to have new hires sit with seasoned employees for tips and tricks on how to maneuver around in the system efficiently. It is important that new hires know from the start specific resources that they will need to access in using WFM daily and hone in on those skills and locations of data needed. Starting off, our experience shows that it's better to focus on the minimum tools and learn those well and build knowledge from there to make it less intimidating

The only other tool I have used was paylocity. Paylocity is a great tool as well and is more user friendly, however it is not for as big of organizations as Workday is. I would say if you are under 1k employees go with Paylocity as it will be less expensive and has everything you need with a user friendly experience. Workday is great for larger orgs but doesn’t have as much of a user friendly experience

  • Workday Workforce Management has lowered the amount of time team members have to go to HR for questions.
  • The approval process for reimbursement is lightning fast.
  • I am no longer requested to research my team's different benefit options, which saves me a LOT of time during enrollment periods.

AbsenceSoft Screenshots

Screenshot of a Real-Time Leave Status Report: A leave status report offers a real-time and on-demand overview of leave requests and the status of those requests. This report can be used to quickly identify: - Employees who have submitted leave requests - Eligibility status - Leave approval status - When the employee will return to workScreenshot of a Compliance Monitoring Map: AbsenceSoft makes state and federal compliance more straightforward. A fully dedicated, internal compliance team ensures that all policies are updated in time for legislative changes. Rules are continuously updated to guarantee clients are working with the latest legislation and best practices, eliminating the need to constantly research new leave law changes.Screenshot of an Intermittent Usage Report: Staying up-to-date with all of the steps that occur in an intermittent leave case can be very tedious and time-consuming for a leave team. But an Intermittent Usage Report checks the need-to-know data points for intermittent leaves in real-time, including: - Intermittent leave usage (who is out and for how long) - Which employees need recertification - Any inconsistencies
