I personally use Workday Human Capital Management for much of the reporting and analysis for our FP&A function. Workday Human Capital Management is used to manage all of our hiring and current employee information including all of the data that is utilized for our budgeting and planning. For my role, Workday Human Capital Management provides an automated and standardized process for employee data that can be transformed and loaded to our financial planning tool.

We use Workday in our entire organization, fulfilling, new hires, I-9, managing day to day employee requests including paid time off, payroll forecasting, reports that detail financials, location database management, senior level approvals and so much more. It's a day to day workflow that for the most part is simple and easy to use.

We Use WDHCM for HRM, BA, TM, Workforce BI, Recruiting, and Time Tracking. I believe the platform can do other capabilities, but we have not been using it since my tenure. Essentially, associates can help themselves manage their patients through PTO, healthcare, and other benefits, as well as track their employee progress via reviews and yearly touch bases.

We use Workday HCM extensively to handle our HR processes. This currently includes onboarding, promotions, termination, benefits, etc. Workday is a robust solution/ecosystem that allows us to handle the various components in a single use case. We also use this system to drive integrations to our various other systems including our accounting system which is currently Netsuite.

Organization is key in any company, and being able to see and manage all the information of your associates in a quick and secure platform allows the HR personal and team leads alike to handle different situations and activities, it shortens the time and need of meetings. In a direct note, it allows me to have more accurate control of my team's feedback, it really softens my workload.

Workday HCM was being used when I arrived at Lenovo, I remember thinking it was the most advanced system I had used so far. I manage payroll, so most of our data comes from Workday HCM. I have been very satisfied with the flexibility of the system and would recommend it highly.

At our organisation, we use Workday for internal communication, employee information systems, appreciation, and recognition. Workday applications: Workday has helped us tremendously to maintain coordination within the team and be able to communicate internal notes with each other. Workday has made Workforce management quite easy for us and we receive feedback from everyone that it keeps them engaged. In short Workday is like a Facebook for our internal team, it is fun and easy to use!

Onboarding employees, using the timesheet to manage the work schedule and holidays. Also, using the workday for collecting different forms required at different stages to opt in/out for different policies. The Workday tool is also used to manage the employee's banking information, employee's career progress, annual appraisals, feedback, and sharing other policy details like the different parts in salary such as variable, stock, etc.

In any organization, a HCM software is required to track and manage its workforce. Unlike other HCM software, Workday is much more capable than just tracking and managing the organization’s workforce. At the company, Workday is utilized as the main portal for all employees, whether it is for compensation to retrieve payslips, benefits for benefits election, reimbursement, or even absence to request time-off and leave. On the other hand, from the HR side, Workday allows the HR team to retrieve any data that is needed and critical to the business at anytime via report writer. For instance the number of employees in each department or the total amount of reimbursement for each department. Workday also supports the creation, edit, and deletion of new supervisory organization (team, region, company, etc) and allow the admins to easily perform changes to employee data to accurately keep track of employee data so that it is most up-to-date.

I currently use Workday for several reasons in my current organization. On a personal level, it is where my personal employment information is housed as well as my PTO activities and performance review information. For my specific role in the organization, I use Workday to run detailed reports regarding Sales Reps on Sales Bonus Plans.

Workday [Human Capital Management] is used across our entire organization. It is used for multiple purposes. I specifically use Workday Human Capital Management for goal setting, quarterly check-ins, requesting paid time off, reviewing payslips, managing paid time off balances, and other items related to human resources. In addition to the standard human resources tasks, I also use Workday for submitting requisitions to obtain purchase orders for our vendors.

We use HCM across our entire organization globally. It provides a user friendly way to access information about employees and the organization based on each user's security access. Paired with some of the other modules offered by Workday, HCM is a powerful tool for employee and manager self- service in a wide range of tasks such as personal data entry, review and acknowledgment of company policy documents, time tracking for Non-exempt and overtime eligible employees and managing time off. We also use HCM to bring in sophisticated automation of administrative HR tasks such as fulfilling verification of employment requests or electronic I-9 verifications, and fostering collaboration across various business functions, through approval workflows, notifications and inbox "to do" and "review" tasks for various stakeholders.
