Workday Cloud Platform is used throughout the entire organization. We use it as a means for hourly workers to clock their hours, for employees to submit time off, for HR to send out offers and hire in employees and more. It creates a main source for employees to turn to for any HRIS needs.
  • Ease of Use for Hourly Employees - It is very easy and intuitive for hourly employees to clock in and out, track their hours, submit time off and so on. The app just recently underwent an update that made it even easier to clock in and out quickly with access from the homepage.
  • Inbox feature - Workday will send you tasks to your Workday inbox and guide you through completing them step-by-step. It makes learning new process and tasks all the more easy when you have a guide to help.
  • Customizable dispositions for candidates - The recruiting department will use completely customizable dispositions for job application candidates. This is a great feature for those hiring.
  • Glitching - Occasionally the app will glitch and shut down completely. Sometimes it can be when you are in the middle of something timely, causing frustration and issues. I haven't seen this happen as often recently.
  • Inbox - It would be helpful if Workday developed a feature to organize inbox tasks based off what department they are for, what the task is and so on. So you can quickly filter or look for the task at hand.
  • Candidate Tracking - Hiring managers throughout the company work with the HR department to track candidates, schedule interviews and so on. Workday does not always have the best interface in this regard. It could use a feedback feature for hiring managers to be able to be more involved, as they can be on other platforms.
The Workday Cloud Platform is best suited for larger companies that have mass amounts of employees to keep track of and many departments to hire for. I would not recommend Workday for a startup or smaller company. The HRIS (Human Resources Information Systems) abilities are best used in large companies that have large needs from across the business that need to rely on one source.

  • Workday Cloud Platform makes it so all employees within the organization have one place to turn for HR needs specifically. This is a positive as it has eliminated the need for other platforms.
  • On the opposite end of the spectrum, I know that the recruiting department still uses other platforms (costing money) to support their needs and to recruit the best talent. It does not do everything for everyone.
  • Workday has the ability to quickly hire in employees or contractors which helps get the new employee/contractor access and permissions to the teams projects. Very time efficient.
  • Workable
Workday is used very differently within our organization than Workable is. Workday is used as an all encompassing HRIS for the whole company. It is the main hub. However, Workable is used more specifically by the HR/ recruiting department when working with hiring managers for job applicants and potential candidates.
I give it this rating because, in its current capacity, it does not meet all of Human Resources' needs - which can cost the organization by having to rely on multiple platforms to do what one might be able to do. Again, as mentioned, it works great for what most employees require of it.

We are using the Workday Cloud Platform mainly for RRHH and payroll processes. All communication among different departments and RRHH/Payroll areas is done through the Workday Cloud Platform. Time off requests, Org Chart information, payroll information, and specific requests, can be used easily with Workday Cloud Platform. Mobile App with SSO platform brings anywhere access so we can manage all this information quickly
  • You are saving time with “boring” and time-intensive traditional requests.
  • Notifications and approval process are very easy.
  • Boring Look and feel
  • Steps needed to get the proper information
Traditional requests are boring and time-intensive. I used to spend a lot of time for time off requests, changing payroll information, or updating tax information for my company. For those reasons, not business-related activities were delayed or were not done. With Workplace Cloud Platform, you can easily bring all these activities into a single platform to deliver effectiveness to your employees in terms of RRHH or payroll activities. Simple platform integrated with your information systems to consolidated data. Also, the Workday Cloud Platform brings you a developing platform to grow your corporate knowledge.

  • Increase RRHH productivity
  • Increase Payroll’s process agility
Workday Cloud Platform has better integration and is more intuitive.
I open a case one time with Workday Cloud Plateform regarding time off inconsistency. They are not directly responsible for this, but I was directed adequately with people to help me to solve this issue.

Workday is used to understand our organizational structure, directory, time off, and learning initiatives.
  • organizational structure (directory
  • time off
  • time off automatically put into our managers' calendars
Easy way to identify who works on each team, gain insight into our pay statements, and request time off.

Workday in the Workplace

Workday is used across our organization for posting job opportunities, payslips, requesting and approving of PTO, and hiring.
  • Autopopulation of new hire resume into employee profile.
  • Ease of ability to request PTO.
  • Difficult to add vendor/contingent workers.
  • Slow load time.
Workday is well-suited for large corporations who need a centralized process for PTO, payslip retrieval, and hiring. Small organizations would not benefit from Workday. The amount of time and money required to walk through the Workday onboarding steps would not be worth the return.

  • Easier to pinpoint the proper employee within a department.
  • Centralized place to direct employees back to.
I was not involved in the decision-making process.
I have not had any major technical issues with Workday that would require support. Any support can be handled internally. Slow load time is the main technical issue.
