Workday is our global HCM platform and it is our US HR and Payroll system. We have implemented Core HCM, Performance Review and we are in the middle of implementing our new merit process in Workday. We have connectors from Workday to Oracle HR, to Active Directory, to benefit vendors, to Stock Administrators, etc.
  • One of my favorite features of Workday is the actionable items and the fact that you can run a report and after auditing the data you can correct it from within the report.
  • Workday is a complex system that allows great flexibility. It comes with predefined business processes that can be fully customized.
  • Workday self service features for managers and employees are great and particularly those features that are mobile enabled.
  • Dashboards and reporting are spectacular.
  • Documentation. This is the first system I have ever worked that has such a lack of documentation.
  • Creating advance reports and specifically creating calculated fields is very cumbersome.
  • Payroll in general is still a very immature product. Most mature payroll systems handle taxation much better than Workday.
Workday is very well suited for small to medium size companies that are looking to be independent from IT.
Ask specific questions about delivered reports, delivered connectors, out of the box business processes, etc.
Make sure you understand how technical support works and also find out about how easy/difficult it would be to implement new modules in the future and ask how other companies usually deal with this issue.

We are in the middle of out Performance Management process so at this point I cannot offer a true rating, but so far it is working for us the way we envisioned it. We have not rolled out Onboarding, Goal Management or Success Planning yet.
Workday was the system we could find that would give the autonomy (from IT) we need it and to allow us to use employee self service and manage self service and allow our managers, directors, executives (approvers) to be able to monitor, review and approve many processes form any office in the world. We hadn't been successful at changing from our paper and ink approvals to electronic approval in the past and the Workday implementation gave us that from the very 1st day.

We also selected workday because of it was a system built from the ground up using the latest technologies and we would like to leverage in the near future some of its global capabilities, like Payroll for the UK and China.

We used Oracle HR and ADP payroll in the past and we were very dependent on IT resources. We are now using WD for HCM and payroll in the US and we still use ADP for payroll in the UK and we are writing connectors for ADP UK payroll currently and we hope to use the UKL payroll module next year.
3000
Most users are employees around the world using self service to see and maintain personal information On the us more than 1200 employees use it to see payslips, request time off, enroll for benefits, and maintain contact info hr business partners use it to promote, change job, request compensation changes, terminate and hire employees,etc. We also used Performance Review this year as well as Merit Plans for most employees around the world

We use Workday across the whole organization, for 3100+ employees in 12 countries, for employee data management, time and absence management, expenses, talent management, data analysis and more. Workday is a unified global solution that provides increased transparency and consistency in HR processes ,and enables our HR team to spend more time focused on higher value-add contributions to the organization. Our managers and leaders can make better business decisions with more information at their fingertips.
  • The user experience is very intuitive and is in line with what people want to see and do with an online application these days. We don't have to spend much time on training employees and managers because they can generally figure out how to do what they need to do on their own. The ease of use and look & feel are some of the reasons we chose Workday to begin with, and it's getting better with age.
  • Security. It's flexible so you can allow access to what you want and block what you don't. And it's solid. And you don't have to remember who has access to what when building and delivering reports and chance exposing confidential or sensitive information. If they don't have permission to see it, they don't see it.
  • Reporting capabilities are amazing. We're several years in and still feel like we're just scratching the surface. Our executives love the dashboard views and have set them as the standard for other internal dashboard-like reporting.
  • Time Tracking in countries with complex work-week and shift schedules is a challenge. I expect we'll continue to see improvements with Workday planned global expansion.
  • I would love for Workday to provide in-depth training at no cost for system administrators. We are able to manage the system and our needs independently. Depending on the project, it may take us longer and we may not really be optimizing the process or system if we're missing knowledge and experience that would help us do so.
Workday is doing a great job of meeting the needs of all different types and sizes of organizations. The most important questions to ask during the selection process are the areas where your organization does something in a very specific way and change is not an option. The answer (with many vendors) will be "yes, we can do that" but will you really be happy with what it looks like? Or do limitations exist that don't in your current process? Whenever we find ourselves bending and breaking things to make our process fit, we re-evaluate what we're trying to do and how we're trying to do it, and usually we're able to approach it differently for the same or better result.

Onboarding allows us to engage our newest employees early to get them in and using Workday from their first day or before. Managing changes to goals throughout the year is easy and pulling them into a review for an evaluation is a snap. Performance reviews are streamlined and relatively easy to complete. We do not use succession planning yet.
All of them, everyone here uses Workday to maintain personal information, for goals and performance reviews, to track time and time off, for expense reimbursements, for reporting...

We have three non-technical HR employees and one business systems analyst administering the system. The learning curve post go-live is steep, but once you understand the structures and security and business processes, it's very easy to manage.
  • Process standardization and transparency for HR, process reviewers/approvers, employees and managers
  • Push button reporting, standard views of data for apples to apples comparisons across different managers
  • Streamlined processes for scalability with rapid global growth and to enable a more strategic HR focus
  • Succession Planning
  • Workforce Planning
  • Project and work management
  • Employee data updates
  • Navigating and search
  • Employee transfers/manager changes
  • Approval routing
  • Moving future dated time off requests when an employee moves to a new time off plan (new country, for example)
  • As an administrator, learning the business objects and data sources to optimize report performance and get the right data in the right place...it's possible, it's just a steep learning curve.
Yes
It's extremely easy to use and navigate. One of my favorite apps in terms of user experience.
Workday's on a great path in terms of user experience. Their goals is to deliver a use experience that doesn't require training or instruction, like Amazon on the consumer side for example. That's hard to do when you're talking about complex business processes and important and sensitive employee information, but they're doing it well.

We are using Workday as a self-service tool organization-wide. Our HR department uses Workday as the system of record and the information integrates to our payroll department. We also use Workday for our performance review process and benefits enrollment. It addresses a previous business problem of inconsistency of stored data (we are an international organization and needed a system that would work for all locations). Workday also helps us with personnel data integrity by its report writing capabilities.
  • Workday has excellent report writing capability. It provides hundreds of standard reports and also enables you to create custom reports. These reports can be shared with staff or kept restricted to certain departments.
  • Workday offers a comprehensive way of managing position information through the use of position management, job profiles, job families, and job family groups. This is particularly helpful for market analysis and EEO and Affirmative Action reporting.
  • High level security - highly customizable.
  • Great opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions; there is a Workday Community for all users and this input is taken into account for future version updates.
  • Workday users will need training - not all areas of the system are intuitive (report writing, for example).
  • Version updates can be too frequent; although they reduced updates from four times per year to two, it can be challenging to our staff to reacquaint themselves with a newer version, particularly if it includes a redesign.
  • Unless really customized, there are sometimes too many clicks to get through a process.
One question to ask is: What is the number of employees? Workday is ideal for larger organizations and is capable of accommodating many departments, unions, special job groups, etc. within one company profile. What regions will it be used in? Since it's a robust product, connectivity and bandwidth may be an issue for more remote areas of the world (something to keep in mind for international organizations). It is well suited for employee self-service and provides a comprehensive company directory.

It appears to be highly customizable, so the feature is generally very good. We only use the performance management piece at this time and it requires training for our staff and managers.
My previous company used Sage because it was significantly smaller than the company I work at now. Workday was implemented before I got here. We have stayed with Workday because it is a rapidly growing product and is being used more and more by many high profile companies. Workday continually updates their functionality and look, and their learning center is always offering courses for continued training.

We implement Workday for organizations (Partner with Workday), as well as use Workday in our own organization. We use Workday across our entire organization. All of our departments use it for Goal Setting, Performance Reviews, Time Off, and Personal Information (such as Emergency Contact information). We are moving towards using Workday for Benefits as well. It addresses the need for a "one-stop-shop" for our employees, a better User Experience.
  • Workday has a very responsive customer support staff.
  • Workday is very concerned about quality, and has put many checkpoints in place to ensure the product customers receive is built with the utmost precision.
  • Workday is great about giving customers what they want. They are continuously evolving, improving, releasing new functionality, and solutions each week, to meet the needs of their clients.
  • Workday's Talent and Performance module is vast and possesses a lot of great functionality, however Workday currently offers no Certification for Implementers, which I feel is very much needed.
  • The recruiting module still has a long way to go. It is new, so we all know that is has gaps, but with WD24 coming out in March, I believe it will take Workday recruiting to the next level!
  • It would be great if Workday would share more information with partners, whether that be through a weekly status meeting, or email. Workday has done a good job at building their Community, however there are times where it has not been updated, and we share outdated information with customers.
I am honestly not involved in sales or the "selection" process at all. I implement the system for customers who have already been selected by Workday. As a partner we bid on the projects that Workday presents to us, the partner with the lowest bid is typically chosen, so this a better question for someone who works at Workday.

When Workday released WD23, there was huge functionality improvements to competencies, awards, etc. which I feel has added a significant amount of value to Workday's Talent Management space. However, I gave it a 9 because there are still areas that need to be addressed. One being the need for a certification for implementers. Another being that there needs to be an easier way for customers to have a 360 review, that includes external raters (such as customers). Their Employee Review Templates for Performance, need to be build out like the Talent review, where there is separate help text for managers, and employees. Lastly, more than one manager should be able to complete an employee's performance review. Whether that be sending out two reviews for one employee (but the same template), or allowing managers to send to another manager for review (somewhat like the Dynamic Business process of Recruiting), these are areas Workday could improve upon.
Workday blows Oracle PeopleSoft out of the water. Workday's User interface is so much easier to use, and much more intuitive. I have very much enjoyed using Workday vs. their old counterpart from Dave Duffield. I am still perplexed as to why people implement PeopleSoft, instead of Workday.

It is used across the entire organization as our primary HRIS/Payroll system. It allows real-time access to employee data and metrics to management.
  • The user interface is intuitive and familiar. It mimics the current Apple interface, so end-users are not intimidated by the design.
  • It is highly configurable. It allows you to set up processes and workflows that make sense for your business.
  • It has a great support system. The Workday Community is great for general questions and networking with other Workday professionals. And the Workday Support site is a fast and efficient way to get your problems resolved.
  • I would like to see certifications opened up to professionals other than consultants by Workday Training.
  • Some of the reporting functions can get very complicated for the general end-user. If you are not generating reports on a regular basis, a lot of the functionality can be lost or forgotten.
  • Integrations can be complicated and hard to understand. I would like to see Workday provide more support on integrations, rather than pointing clients to expensive 3rd party consultants.
A few tips:
-If you want an integration Time-Tracking/Payroll system, you'll need to make sure Workday can handle your time-tracking needs. The time-tracking system is not very robust.
-It is a little too expensive for a smaller company, so make sure the price is worth your while.
-Be sure to choose your consulting partner for implementation very carefully, as some are better than others.
-You will need an in-house expert to administer the system. While it is easy to use, if you are not willing to pay extra for an expert (or to extensively train the people you have), you will not get all you can out of the system.

It is a very robust and configurable talent management system. You can include all sorts of items on your reviews, and have different styles for all populations you have at your company. You can set up competencies, goal-setting processes, 9box ratings and reports, etc. You can add supporting attachments to your performance reviews, send reminders to employees/managers of upcoming or overdue tasks, and the review results are immediately usable by the compensation processes (bonus, merit).

Workday is more user friendly than any other HRIS I have seen by leap and bounds. The ability to configure it so it is easily understandable and usable by the end user makes it so much better than any other system I have ever used. Workday makes it so easy to connect with their community of customers that I rarely need to go directly to Workday Support to solve a problem. With all other providers I have used, I was restricted only to their help desk, which is time consuming and unproductive. The flexibility of its workflow makes accommodating nearly any request from management possible.
