Overall Satisfaction with Workday Human Capital Management

We use Workday across our global workforce. It is our HRIS (our main source of truth for all people data across HR, Payroll, Finance, etc), our performance management tool and we're planning to launch their LMS platform. We are also looking to build new Workday instances across the world as we expand into new countries.
  • Organize People Data
  • Scale with the company
  • Grow internationally
  • Customization
  • Expansive use cases
  • It's complex to build, which can lead to downstream complications as you continue to build.
  • The performance module was not customizable in a way to perfectly fit our needs.
  • Various integrations add increased complexity.
  • Compliance
  • People Data Management
  • Performance
  • Strong compliance globally.
  • Robust functionality that scales with you.
It's a great tool for us now that we've scaled. It will be able to grow as we become 10,000 employees+ across the world. The build has been complex, but as we gain expertise on the team, we unlock critical functionality that enhances our HR sophistication.

Yes

Did implementation of Workday Human Capital Management go as expected?

No

Would you buy Workday Human Capital Management again?

Yes

Workday is an important, compliant tool as you scale to the 1,000s and 10,000s of employees. It's a solution that can scale to support even the biggest employers. There are so many modules you can add, which is important flexibility as you continue to grow. It is robust enough to sync with various payroll/finance tools as well.

Given high costs and high complexity to setup/change, I would not recommend for SMB clients.
