Tactic vs. Workday Workforce Management

Tactic is beneficial for every company who have just enough workplace stations. Most specially if the shifts of the employees are different. It helps every employee to have a seat plan and find availability for their current shift. The map that is shown in the website is also helpful as it is very user-friendly.

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.

• It only allows us to log in at a certain period of time, like an hour before the reserved time period and sometimes I am earlier than that.

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

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

We have only been using Tactic since I was hired here, so I am not able to compare it with other products. It is beneficial as it helps us work more effectively and efficiently. Moreover, it also counts how many users are logged in and the available stations as well.

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
