Customer Service Chat Option - so easy to get a quick response and help in the moment instead of having to wait for an email response back.Honestly a game changer in making an HRIS easy to use for the HR team.

You pay them money for a service that fails at every turn. You can't reach anyone by phone. Wait, actually, they will call you several times a month trying to sell you a new service.

Workday is a one-stop shop for all things HR. It is a great resource for hiring, managing associates, and providing feedback.

There are so many menus to navigate to the same place. It becomes confusing when you want to request time off or edit your work as the menu for "Absense" makes sense for both those options. The goals section is difficult to navigate when editing goals.
