Overall Satisfaction with Workday Human Capital Management

We use all the basic functions of Workday Human Capital Management and just recently added the payroll module. This replaced ADP. We are looking to also use the onboarding module and link to our SmartRecruiters ATS.
  • Employee self-serve was hard culturally to get going but has reduced some of the tasks done by our payroll and admin groups.
  • Not hard to train. Our users were able to grasp and use Workday fairly quickly.
  • Time and attendance are much easier to track and maintain with Workday. Plus we are much more compliant.
  • Updates to the system don't come as frequently as one would want.
  • Although training is easy, the system is not intuitive, meaning you can't just turn it on and let folks learn on their own. There is a learning curve.
It is not a perfect system but certainly is a very good one. Implementation took sometime and we used a third party vendor (TPV) to assist us. Lots of work up front but it is worth it to make system work for you.
