  • The positive impact is handling configurable accounts appropriately
  • Another would be data on ledgers and accounts presentable in dashboards for easy analysis and presentation to stakeholders
  • Another positive impact is how easy it is configurable , confidential and access to necessary/improved analytics

  • We were able to combine 4 different HR modules into one system.
  • We reduced data breach incidents by 95% after shifting to Workday. One of our legacy softwares had vulnerabilities.
  • The initial learning curve was higher than projected. We spent about a week to 10 days extra time deploying it, which affected the profit center that year.

  • Gives you a good overview of your Pay. For example, if you were supposed to get $5k before taxes, but after taxes, you got $4k, it has a good overview of where that $1k went.

  • Workday has had a significant impact on our business's bottom line. Since instituting Workday, we have seen a 31% reduction in accounts payable outstanding year over year.
  • Thanks to Workdays' payroll reporting function, we have reduced the premium "combat" pay we offer our medical providers by 13%.

  • It helped us to automate the processes, and save at least 10 hours a week
  • Easy Payroll and Employee Management (we didn't had this previously)
  • Some of our employees struggled to learn about the platform, and it has taken some time
  • Since it has most features we need, it helped us to save some money spending on other finance tools

  • A financial audit can pull staff in a new all day timeline task but this software aides in the reports pulling them with ease and adaptability to what you need on them. Saves lots of time compared to QB.
  • The user experience saves everyone time messing around or the initial learning. It’s so easy to use. Everyday benefit exists here.
  • AP less hassle for this department as it handles this very well
  • Compared to others.

  • Quick and non-glitchy financial reporting.
  • As more people use it, inter-department talks are always there as HR and Project managers are talking about the same software.
  • The disturbance in service is no longer the problem as It integrates the three different sectors of financial reporting.

  • Workday has helped my employer save money over the past couple of year by tracking time of employees and how long were days looking like.
  • It has enables us to make better decisions by hiring more people instead of paying overtime to those who already work in order to have the right work/leisure balance
  • The platform has also helped us to redesign our policies after seeing when employees were clocking in and clocking out and track people who were showing up late for work

  • As a new starup affiliate five years ago, we did not have a huge budget. The ROI was met relatively quickly, no surprises here.
  • With minimal consulting assistance, this made the implementation cost reasonable, if any software implementation could be considered reasonable.
  • It was a risk to implement Workday Financial Management in one country but we did leverage it with HCM in the states.

  • From my experience with it, it had a positive impact on our business by helping make smoother financial reports.
  • Easy to collaborate with others on building actual reports.
  • Made life easier for supervisors by allowing them to quickly and easily look over actual information, to move forward wth planning future budgets.
