Pros

“Its greatest strengths are its high system stability with minimal bugs and a seamless Scheduling and Time Clock feature that simplifies daily operations for employees. While it is a premium investment, the Value for Money is clear through the elimination of disconnected third-party tools and the high level of professional Customer Support provided.”

Pros

“Transparency of the tool - easy to find what you are looking for as a user and as an admin.”
MN

Magdalena N.

HR Generalist

“Simple to use, when introducing new employees to the system it is very self explanatory which makes it easier for both parties. Since connecting with an account manager, we have found out ways to utilise the system even more e.g. setting up workflows, so the system does work well in my opinion.”

“It offers greater capabilities than I am using and thanks to our rep, he is patient, knowledgeable and provides great service!”

McKeisha S.

Cons

“The main drawbacks of Workday HCM are its steep learning curve and the complexity of its back end configuration, which often requires specialized training or expensive consultants.”

software support

“Reporting, not clear on trended worker data source and not easy to combine data and data sources and not easy to make dashboards for higher management, often we need to go to powerbi solution which means exporting sensitive data.”
