    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.

    Cons
    Sparkrock
    • Many of the improvements are being met with each upgrade. Altus Dynamics has an idea portal that customers can add ideas to and vote on other customer ideas. This means that most issues that come up are resolved with each new upgrade.

    • The tasks function is somewhat clunky, and its hard to see who the task is sent to next in order to follow up with them.
    • 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

    • Real-time data that is available at our fingertips
    • Flexibility of the system to address changing needs over time
    • Elimination of the huge administrative burdens that we were experiencing as a result of the previous system due to lack of integration

    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

    • As a technician it's hard for me to say what effect the ROI has had on our organization, however our finance team seems satisfied on it. We look forward to deploying the staff dashboards for better financial tracking throughout our whole organization.

    • 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.
