What differentiates Workday Human Capital Management from other similar products?

The platform is very adaptive and scalable which can be modified as per your growing requirements. Multiple lingual platforms help to interact with all the employs around the global with relative ease. Login experience is not very good as you have to login multiple times in a single day. Despite that with its advance features it helps smart business decision making.

The tool not just enables human capital management but also provides a wide range of other features including Financial Management, Spending and Earning Management, Talent Management (Power by Intelligent Machine Learning), Brief Analytics Reports, Professional Service Automation and many other reliable features.

What do you dislike most about this product?

With advance machine learning tool and capabilities, the interface is not user friendly and users have to get around a lot of stuff to get to a required place. Menus are also very confusing and messy and take a lot of time to understand and navigate. Some features of the app also break from time to time and requires restarting entire application.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

An HR program equipped with AI to enable to understand the skills of your team and find talent available in the pool for tomorrow.
