Overall Satisfaction with Workday Human Capital Management

It's basically like our ecosystem, all HRIS. It brings our talent, our performance management, it houses all of our HR data. So it brings all of that in one place, one space. And I think it helps. It makes everything easier, right? Because one click and you go in and you can see everything.

Pros

  • I think what it does is not having worked on the side of talent acquisitions. Whenever we have a job interview, for example, you can go right there, you can put in everything in Workday Human Capital Management. If I need to go in and see what a coworker put in or notes all that, I can document everything there in Workday Human Capital Management. I think the other thing that makes it a lot easier is for performance management, goal setting. All these things can be done right there in the platform and it just makes it easier. So to store documents, I can do that. I mean it is like a one-stop shop all in one, so it's excellent.

Cons

  • What just launched recently was the people analytics and I think it's a phenomenal tool. What I would like to see, since it's been about what two weeks of me navigating through this, I wish I could drill down into the data a little bit more without having to go to our people services team to run a report for me to get the data that I need. What I love about the product is that it allows you to, without having to think about what should I be looking at, what am I taking back to the operators, the business partners, it automatically tells you these are the highlights, some of the things to think about. But if I could drill down into that to tell the story would be an outstanding thing.
  • I would say I haven't done the research to see, because I don't sit on that team, I'm more of a business partner. But I would say that I think for my team in particular, it saves us time, right? We're able to get so much of our time back just because we can do everything in one platform and not have to go and search for the things that we need or now being able to do, even the performance management piece in the system, time saving, all I can tell you is that it saves us time and I think with our time back we can be more effective partners.

I would say it's well suited in every environment because I think it does so much. It's like the holy grail of HRIS systems is what I like to call it because thinking about all parts of the employee lifecycle, it lives here in Workday Human Capital Management. So I love the fact that you can do the people data analytics, you can store employee records, the talent acquisition pieces there. I'm thinking I can't think of anything negative right now except for the fact that I can't drill down into the data for the people analytics side. Other than that, I think it's literally, yeah, the holy grail of HRIS systems, I love it and I would highly recommend it.
