Overall Satisfaction with Workday Human Capital Management

We use it as our one "source of truth", which includes a lot of HR Processes and all employee life cycle processes and relevant information. Also we use it for HR reporting, Performance reviews, and Bonuses cycle.
An issue we're facing is the flexiility on reporting, and the organizations mangement (visiblity in Matrix organizations).
Our scope is approx. 1000 workers, for modules Recruitment, Compensation, Learning, Talent & Performance, HCM, and Absence.

Pros

  • Processes
  • Securities
  • Performance

Cons

  • Reporting
  • Improved HR productivity through automation
  • Better insights and analytics
  • Processes audit trail
  • Employee self-service
  • Manager self-service
  • Performance reviews
