Workday
If you are a company with very little administrative or IT staff that can be dedicated to run, train, and launch - this is the perfect tool for you because it requires very little on the set up end and training. It looks like a social network so a platform many are already used to seeing. Its definitely a very powerful product with an easy interface, providing a stellar customer experience

  • Would like to be able to use it for clocking in and out
  • The dashboard user interface could be improved to include more pertinent information
  • Would be nice to hide features that we use other applications for (i.e. org chart, pay, expenses)

With workday support options, I would like to see a more immediately responsive response option. Possibly a chat or a responsive email response team would be helpful.

I was not on the selection team for Workday Profession Services Automation; it was the HR system used by our parent company. However, I have had several opportunities to work with Workday in other HR roles, and have also worked extensively with Oracle products. Workday Professional Services Automation seems more dynamic than the Oracle Suite I've utilized in the past.

  • All in one platform great for businesses with locations across the country
  • We don’t use its learning/training features, or it doesn’t have, which would be nice
  • Reporting features are extensive and, though can be hard to figure out, there is clearly great capability there
