Overall Satisfaction with Workday Human Capital Management

Our organization uses Workday for human capital management including the absence, payroll, benefits, compensation, general HCM, recruiting and reporting product areas. We have begun developing 2 Workday Extend applications as well. Workday helps us to manage our data, find trends, and simplify processes for both employees, people leaders, HR and other stakeholders.

Pros

  • Business process customization
  • Custom organizations
  • Prism & Analytics

Cons

  • Security flexibility with roles
  • Make tasks/notifications more intuitive
  • Search terms
  • HR Productivity improved
  • put more decision-making in closest to work/business
  • shortened cycle time for hires
  • fewer late terminations
Workday had more capabilities for self-service, and was also utilized by many companies in the same sector or the same size as our organization. The level of customization was adequate, without being 'too' flexible, which would result in high levels of maintenance. It was also an opportunity to reinvent the culture of HR & remain competitive.

Yes

Would you buy Workday Human Capital Management again?

Yes

Workday HCM is great for a fairly simple organization, especially one with an exempt population. Our organization has a large population of hourly in addition to exempt. Also it is best suited for organizations that don't require a lot of custom organizations, and from a security standpoint, can utilize standard Workday roles, especially those that are not intersection SGs as these limit capabilities.
