Pros / Cons
  • The platform is intuitive and helps streamline HR processes, from payroll to benefits administration. While some features can be complex initially, the system’s customization options and strong support make it manageable.
  • The mobile app is not enabled to do many things that we ask our team members to do, i.e. updating direct deposit information, and enroll in benefits.

  • I can quickly book time off, manage my vacation schedule, review my employee information, and stay on top of tasks with clear and helpful notifications.
  • I our case, customer support was through a third party as we were "not large enough to get support directly" through Workday HCM. That third party used a case system. Though we could assign a level of priority based on our needs, the third party could lessen the priority level causing excessive delays for immediate needs.
