What differentiates Workday Human Capital Management from other similar products?

Unified Platform with a Single Data Model User-Friendly Interface Continuous innovation Strong focus on skills and talent optimization Adaptive planning and analytics

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

All HR, finance, and planning data lives in one system, allowing for instant access to cross-functional insights—like headcount costs tied to financial forecasts. This empowers HR and business leaders to make faster, more informed decisions without needing separate reporting tools or IT involvement.

What do you dislike most about this product?

While Workday is highly configurable, it restricts deep customizations to maintain system integrity and ease of updates. This can be frustrating for organizations with complex or unique HR processes that don’t fit Workday’s standard models. Some advanced reporting and integration tasks may also require technical expertise or additional tools.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Evaluate Fit for Your Organization’s Size and Structure Understand Workday’s Configuration Limits Invest in Change Management and Training
