Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Workday is a classic tier 1 HCM platform. Depending on your organization, how it is set up, and the policies/processes you have in place, you will ultimately get out of it as much or as little as you do. Like other module-based HCMs, the benefits come when you string multiple modules together (i.e., HCM + learning + recruitment + L&D, etc.). Workday is a complex HCM, though, and not to be taken lightly. If you do not have a structured HRIS team with a solid understanding of best practices and system hygiene, it can quickly become overwhelming for many companies to handle. It is also very costly, like any tier 1 - so if you have less than 5000 employees, you probably cannot afford to maintain this program. Great ability to set up a variety of integrations; my previous org had over 50 coming from Workday, as well as some edit/write/insert integrations coming into it from downstream systems like OKTA, Greenhouse, and Caro.
