Workday HCM has an easy-to-use interface.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Workday Human Capital Management from other similar products?

Workday HCM software is easily reconfigured and customized. Its out-of-the-box reporting framework is appealing. It handles HR, payroll, workforce, talent, employee experience, workforce planning, analytics, and reports. It has a lot going for it, and it's worth checking out. The framework for business processes is one that I find appealing. It lets people flow. They're given a project to work on, a decision to make, etc. It reduces HR's administrative burden and puts event ownership on the individual. Workday offers excellent functionality.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Workday HCM manages HR, payroll, leaves and attendance, employee self-service, assets, performance, and onboarding. It is an internal HCM system used by staff worldwide. It is easy to use, has precise instructions, and doesn't require training. I love that it looks like a social network for businesses. I'm enjoying the business process framework. It's a seamless transition and allows us to have people in the flow. Technology helps us analyze our workforce, generate analytics, and make smarter business decisions.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some of our early adopters couldn't perform functions that hadn't been transferred. Confusing notification portal. I'll read messages or alerts, but they'll remain unread for months, adding to notification review time.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Spend time learning Workday HCM's features and tools. It's a powerful tool if used properly. It is a robust system that is suitable for larger businesses. It's excellent for HCM core, recruiting, benefits, and onboarding.
