  • 25% ROI on payroll OT due to employees completing payroll forms online.
  • 30% on HR costs as employees complete onboarding and all other new hire tasks and requests online.
  • Legal ROI as all company and compliance forms must be acknowledged electronically, audit trail if an employee says they did not complete or agree to any variety of issues.

  • Our HR team was able to trim down its external vendors significantly once Workday was implemented.
  • I personally saw as an employee the before and after of Workday so I know how relieved HR was that they did not have to get involved in processes that were prone to manual error such as release of compensation data at the same time to everyone via email.

  • Our previous system was homegrown and lacked in many areas. Going to Workday has given us a single source for all HR data that is easy to search and find what you are looking for.
  • Workday allowed us to streamline annual processes like performance reviews, raises, and benefits election. It has simplified these processes for the employees and provided more actionable data for HR.
  • Integration with other applications allows our user data to be used by other applications that need it. We simply output a file with username and ID to other apps that require that info.

  • The data analysis that Workday has made possible is a quantum leap from our legacy system. Our HR strategy initiatives are much more informed as a result.
  • Once we got past the initial adoption phase, self service of our team members has freed up HR staff resources to focus on other strategic initiatives
  • The completeness of the product suite has enabled us to jettison duplicate systems and has helped the overall cost of ownership from an IT systems perspective

  • Positive ROI, we were one of the first organizations that went with Workday HCM, and we received numerous discounts. Cloud systems are the way to go and we feel the system is stable for our growing work force.
  • The user conferences have been helpful to network and learn more deepness in the modules and functionality.
  • Right off the bat, our implementation costs were lower than budgeted and we had less 'billing' surprises.

  • Again from the default perspective of an end user it is difficult for me to comment on things like ROI or impacts. However I can say that the software is significantly better than anything we were using before hand. It also consolidated a significant number of software packages. I would assume a positive impact and ROI.
