I can easily complete HR-related self-service chores as an employee. It is simple to submit a request for time off or make an adjustment to my personal information.

Pros

Workday is the most effective tool for managing relationships with customers, allowing for simple monitoring of all interactions. It's the system we use for human resources, payroll, and a plethora of other employee-related tasks and records. One clear advantage of Workday is that it makes it easier for workers to make and be compensated for their own human resources decisions.

Cons

The learning curve may be steep for novice users, but once you've mastered it, it will make your day-to-day life easier. Every time I try to accomplish something significant, I end up making a mistake, and usually it's the system's fault, because it has so many unseen and arbitrary tripwires.

We mainly used it for HR purposes and for employee vacation requests, but it worked with our existing hardware. The unused features could not be removed, mainly the clock in/clock out function.

Pros

It was very easy to integrate with our physical time clocks.

Cons

Unused features were still visible on the employee side. confusing them.

Pros

When I was working at target, it made things more accessible and does the job for what you’re looking for

Cons

I wish they offered more updates. It’s overall great but I think if they have better customer service and listen to the customers and they’re viewpoints, this will continue to excel

It seems like a tool that allows a lot of integrations which allows for efficiencies and gives the feeling of just one comprehensive tool for everything HR. And one can use it on the go through the app

Pros

I have only recently started using Workday, but it seems like a good tool that allows many integrations and therefore the feeling for the end user is that it is a comprehensive tool.
Beyond the standard HR information one might need (salary, time off, etc.), my skills profile (from the recruitment stage) is integrated with the skill-building systems (courses, etc.) and the mentoring platform of the company.
Another couple of feature I found useful (especially as a new starter) were the admin assistance chat, also integrated within the platform and the org chart.
Logging in is made easy and they offer an app.

Cons

Nothing major negative to report at this stage.

It was easy to manage pay and still be able to see pto without having to search everything was clearly available

Pros

The amount of information you can obtain and how easily you can maneuver through the program

Cons

There is not anything I didn’t like .but if there was one thing I could change is maybe have access to medical benefits in the same program.
