Workday Professional Services Automation

I like having all of my information (benefits, compensation, profile) in one place that I can access easily. It helps a lot when new employees come and training is required. I always am able to find what I am looking for, as long as I am sure what that is. It also helps generate analytics and is able to assess how our employee profile is as a whole.

We use it primarily to track time for finance. As a developer, what I do is track the hours I worked the amount of time I spent on each task, and what I did during that time in the notes section. It also serves as a pretty good reminder of things you need to do whenever you log on.

If you are a company with very little administrative or IT staff that can be dedicated to run, train, and launch - this is the perfect tool for you because it requires very little on the set up end and training. It looks like a social network so a platform many are already used to seeing. Its definitely a very powerful product with an easy interface, providing a stellar customer experience.

Best and powerful access control management ability and the functions for reports creation are excellent and the overall management quality with Workday Professional Services Automation is incredible. The collaboration strategy and the effective team communication through this software are amazing and very easy scheduling and data management platform with an easy and simple dashboard to configure.

It gives us very useful insights about average salary statement employee reports in order to understand where you are in the market and your peers. Excellent paperless onboarding processes helped a lot during the pandemic. Payslips integration facilitates many financial requests between HR and many other authorities like tax government office or financial institutions.

The automation services quality with Workday Professional Services Automation is good and the impact on various businesses and projects is effective and reliable. The platform integration is stable and perfect for easy data import and the generation of accurate projects reports through this software is excellent and even on collaboration, the platform is incredible.

I like Workday as an all-encompassing place to manage HR tasks and functions. It's easy to use and navigate around.

Automation is well suited for the needs of the organization.

This is well suited for large companies, especially higher education. It’s also well suited if you plan on using its various add-ons for an extensive user platform. This system would be less appropriate if you’re a small company looking for just very basic features; wouldn’t be worth it.

Workday is a solid tool depending on what your organization needs it for. For our particular use case it does the job, but I have found it frustrating to use as an individual over the years. It's not easy to make edits or changes and the interface isn't the best. Again, I can only speak to it from a review/goal management and assessment standpoint.

I enjoy using Workday but we use multiple other applications (ADP, Anaplan, Chrome River) for features that Workday also is able to help with. If we used more of the features in Workday I would recommend it higher. Overall very satisfied with the features we use it for to see visibility into PTO but could be used for a lot more.

Our issues have more to do with implementation than the service itself I think, but the bugs are taking longer than I would have expected to iron out. Further, the transition of information has also not been as quick causing us to use multiple systems to retrieve historical data. Other than that I think it’s a great option for businesses that want a one-stop-shop.

Very updated and easy to use for both a professional in Human Resources as well as employees. Workday has a great layout and it is easy to track the type of information you need.

Workday Professional Services Automation is a great product for large companies that have standardized, repetitive processes. The ability to automate tactical HR tasks is essential for business productivity, and Workday Professional Services Automation delivers well in this area. However, when a non-standardized process occurs, it is difficult to modify the system in a way that doesn't create confusion for the end-user, resulting in a less than desirable HR experience. For example, when my small company was acquired, our parent business utilized the software for transferring employees from the acquired business to the parent business to ensure they could sign up for health benefits, payroll, etc on Day 1; but, because every form is interrelated, the in-house Workday team was either unable or unwilling to change their workday "standard" fields for offer letters. As VP of HR for the acquired team, I had to meet one-off with each acquired employee to reassure them that certain clauses in the standard offer letter would not apply, explain why their personal email addresses were being used instead of their business ones, and assure them that they were being fully vested/transferred employees and were not considered "new employees" like the offer letter stated, etc.

Workday Professional Services Automation is a great tool for team management and time tracking. It allows reporting time across different projects. It also helps with new job positions, hiring, and referral program. And expense approval flow is useful as well. Overall it's great to manage a team and anything work-related items. There are so many features covered, like goals and performance management. Generating reports and exporting data are good add-on features.

Workday is perfect for medium to large enterprise businesses looking to manage their human elements. It offers advanced reporting and automation for users at the admin level. It also gives users at the employee-level strong self-serve resources. Workday would be less suited to small businesses looking to manage their employee resources.
