Overall Satisfaction with Workday Adaptive Planning

Workday is a wonderful product that is very intuitive for the end user and for core HCM. Adaptive, Workforce Planning, Recruiting is where Workday falls down. What it does, and it does it well, is truly capacity planning, top-down, and not true Strategic Workforce Planning as described by the ISO standard or those organizations who excel at it. It can be modified to do those things with the use of a data lake and additional fulfillment modeling code. However, it still would struggle to fully integrate procurement (contingent labor and SOW labor), Industry X.O, Future Workforce, and external econometric data into the models.
  • Capacity Planning.
  • Financial Forecasting.
  • Strategic Workforce Planning.
  • Future Workforce.
  • Fulfillment Modelling.
  • Standardization in the cloud.
We are still spending and are forced to spend an inordinate amount of time structuring and cleansing data so that it can be ingested
The interface is fine but the capabilities are to limited and state of the art is not excel like but similar to this survey with sliding scales for weighting, drop and drag for data elements, etc.
It doesn't have the same standard fulfillment modeling as the true workforce planning products, it equals the other core HCM systems and beats them on ease of use.
