  • We've seen a positive reception from Management and Employees using the system for day-to-day, BAU transactions
  • Our data & analytics team has seen drastic improvements in the ability to track and monitor previously unexplored employee data points to drive business plans
  • The learning curve for non-tech savvy personnel is pretty high and there have been some issues with adoption for people who don't primarily use computers for day-to-day work

  • Ability to track promotions
  • Native Org Chart which mean no one has to track in another system. And it is tied to the employee data which means it should be the most accurate of any version you may have floating around

  • Core HCM allows an accurate tracking and maintenance of employees. Workday Reporting allows management to see all data related to the employee.
  • Workday Studio integration capabilities have reduced more than 1,000 labor hours in one year.
  • Workday Security prohibits confidental data to be seen to certain group of people.
  • Complex absence configurations allow the organization to take time-off and leave to the next level (reduce manual calculation upon hire and termination).

  • I did not make the purchase decision on this tool so I would be unable to determine ROI.
  • In regards to my day to day job duties, this tool has helped me tremendously with real-time access to sales compensation information. It helps me to accurately and efficiently do my job and not worry about outdated information.
  • This tool and specifically its reports feature help me catch errors soon as they are inputted incorrectly in the system. I then can have the data corrected in a timely manner.

  • To get the most value out of all possible automation in Workday you really need to use a lot of their modules, otherwise you may not be able to solve for some pretty important and necessary needs.
  • The system maintenance is way more than what I have seen with some other systems and therefore you need a quite large team dedicated to it.
  • The ability to automate a lot of administrative tasks and the ability for employee and manager self-service definitely create a lot of opportunity for HR to spent time and effort elsewhere. A lot of the automation that can be leveraged in Workday also allows for eliminating third party vendors as well as the cost of their maintenance and integrations.
