Workday Software

Workday benefits has made the benefit election process much more seamless, and there is much less back and forth between employees and the Benefits/HR team because there is a lot of self-service available to the employees.

Pros

From an Benefit perspective, this is the best tool I have used. I can easily see the benefits I have opted in for, and see when I can change them and what my options to change them to are. I am not "benefit savvy" in any way and this really lays out the options for me seamlessly.

Cons

So far, I have no real cons. A nice added benefit would be if our elected benefits had a link that brought us to our providers sight, but that is also not a huge deal.

Pros

Workday is by far my favorite software for HR related tasks. It is easy to navigate and user-friendly. I know where to find what I need quickly.

Cons

I think it's important that your admins that set it up do it correctly otherwise it can get confusing.

Pros

My employer used workday and it was very simple to use. Everything was in one place and was pretty self-explanatory.

Cons

I had difficulty finding pay stubs and other information.

Fantastic program and easy to make annual selections with ease.

Pros

Recommendations based on questions answered. Also the comparison to prior year benefits is extremely useful in making selections.

Cons

That I'm just getting to utilize this software.

Has been fine, does what it needs to do

Pros

Very easy to use, pretty self-explanatory for user

Cons

Wish it didn't display your full SS# even when your logged in...for security reasons.

Pros

The whole eco-system was great but I really liked the ability to incorporate feedback (from multiple stakeholders) into the reviews process as desired.

Cons

Certain inter-dependencies at times made it difficult to leverage all features - for example you need to implement WD- Recruiting to leverage certain functionality about internal posting, etc. Also, the timing of the upgrades can be challenging but I dont see a way around that since all users are on the same instance/version of the product. Really though they its a great product that is listening to its customers.

Pros

Easy to use and very intuitive. It has very simple UI. It can be configured according to your needs.

Cons

No cons at this time. I had not any problem so far. UI can be modernized.

Did many applications using this, ended up being fine.

Pros

It has all the standard parts of a job application platform, and it does what it's supposed to do.

Cons

Didn't find workday to be the most user-friendly and intuitive out of the many different job applications I did, but it gets the job done.

Pros

This is a very powerful cloud based HCM that i have ever seen, they also have a mobile app which employees can use from anywhere. Large companies would definitely benefit from Workday.

Cons

More user friendly - terminology and UX required. Basic task like generating a report for the team absence for each dates is difficult, make this all simpler and easy to understand and you have a clear winner!

This is a great tool for recruiting!

Pros

Its easy to navigate by intuition and you can get things done more than one way.

Cons

There is so much that it can do sometimes you end up going the long way to get what you need.

Pros

Workday has a great user interface and is seamless

Cons

The software itself is great compared to it's competitors, however, there are too many buttons and options and there needs to be a better guide on how to navigate through all of the features

The software is easy to use, very modern, no second guessing where to go to enter and view anything. It's very convenient to be able to view, save as PDF or email paycheck slips to myself from within the software and their app is just as modern and user friendly. Even the PDF's download very quickly on my mobile!

Pros

Easy to understand and navigate, paycheck slips are easily divided out and labeled clearly and efficiently, love that I can email them to myself and save as PDFs and that I can log in and make changes anytime and they are saved immediately

Cons

At first the paycheck slips were very difficult to read. There is a lot of information on them and the way they are divided out was a bit overwhelming to understand. However, now that I understand the info on them they are getting easier to read but I would still like to see a cleaner look

Pros

I love that when Annual Enrollment times comes around, it's no longer a pain to get signed up or make changes. The way everything is laid out in Workday Benefits is great.

Cons

I have no issues with Workday Benefits at this time.

Pros

It has most of the basic functionalities and standardizes them well.

Cons

UI is slow and takes a long time to load often times. Additionally, user workflows are not simple & intuitive.

Pros

Payroll and benefits for Workday are awesome. Really makes life easier than previous platforms I've worked in.

Cons

They're trying too hard to fit things that don't fit. Like many products it seems like they want to be a single source end all be all platform. They did a great job on payroll and benefits but aren't doing as great in other HR/accounting platforms because they're squeezing them into something it wasn't made for. They seem to constantly improve but it would be better if they did the additional features right, as they did with earlier features, or not at all.

Immediacy for feedback among employees and employers. Great for goal setting and meeting compensation planning. You can create time specific goals with tons of space for descriptions and comments. We would be lost without Workday.

Pros

Workday is incredibly easy to use - we use it frequently on my work team where we can set yearly goals to meet our annual compensation planning targets. You can set it up for your management team to receive notifications when goals are edited and completed, which makes discussions and comments immediate for feedback.

Cons

It's interface is a little clunky at times and when you edit goals you have to be careful to make sure the right one is selected, because sometimes it will change to another one if you change screens.

I recommend this software.

Pros

The software has an extremely user friendly interface and makes it easy to summarize information.

Cons

The software is sometimes slow on google chrome.

Overall the site is messy in my opinion and I find that I don't use it unless I have to.

Pros

You can update your personal and team goals in one centralized location. It also keeps a log of all past goals. You can update the status of your goals and keep track of each one by adding notes.

Cons

I am not a fan of the overall display of the website. Navigation seems a bit clunky and disorganized. The "Goals with Activity Stream" view on the main page is overwhelming to look at, and it's awkward to have such a large table of information thrown at you as soon as you enter the site. I click into "My Goals" and it displays the same messy info organized in a different way. Seems a bit redundant.

Pros

I use this fo my time card and it is great. It is really easy to enter your time card and submit it for approval. It is nice to be able to see my pay checks on my phone with app.

Cons

I don't like when I view my whole paystub on the app it gives me a notification online that I viewed the paystub on the app. I think it is dumb that they don't realize that it is me both times checking it.

Pros

Most smoothest product i have used in Human Resources. This product has all the key points you require and user friendliness makes it more valuable to customers like us who look for products which can simplify their work and reduce the time waste while running payroll; handling grievances; or taking care of employee data. But it does need a lot of knowledge transfer from the seniors who knows Workday better.

Cons

Well it's a commercial product like Oracle and SAP and i would consider it is one of the best by far as it is on cloud so i don't have any cons for it you just need to have a really good internet connection.
