I don’t really see any downside to Workday HCM overall. That said, they should provide clearer, more detailed documentation on how to extract data for reporting. Also, when there’s heavy data processing, the tenant can sometimes feel slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday HCM’s biggest strength is how seamlessly it brings everything together in one place—HR data, payroll, benefits, time tracking, and employee self-service all feel connected and easy to navigate. The interface is clean and intuitive, which makes routine tasks quick to complete, and the self-service features empower employees to manage their own information without needing constant HR support. Overall, it creates a smoother, more efficient experience for both users and administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday HCM is a strong platform overall, but some parts can feel less intuitive than expected. Certain workflows require too many steps or are buried under multiple menus, which can slow users down. The system can also have a noticeable learning curve, especially for employees who don't use it often. While powerful, some features feel overly rigid or limited in customization, making it harder to tailor processes to specific business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am particularly interested in exploring Workday HCM's performance management side, advanced compensation, benefits, and talent modules because they are far more advanced compared to my company’s current system. I am excited to learn more about how AI is integrated with Workday HCM. Additionally, it's appealing to have job descriptions and related files all in one location, as well as bundled processes like recruitment and employee changes and salary increases instead of using individual systems.

I think the challenge regarding the implementation is the number or the level of knowledge that even some of our employees, especially more seasoned employees, may have in trying to understand and gain that knowledge of how to utilize and be a good end user.

What I like most about Workday HCM is how it centralizes HR processes in one user-friendly platform. Tasks like managing employee data, completing performance reviews, submitting time-off requests, and running reports feel streamlined and are easy to navigate. The self-service tools also empower employees and managers to find information and handle routine tasks on their own, which boosts efficiency and reduces the administrative workload. I also value the real-time reporting features, which provide useful insights for workforce planning and better decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like about Workday HCM is that some workflows can feel unnecessarily complex, particularly when there are multiple approval steps. Some features also come with a learning curve for new users, and locating specific information can sometimes mean clicking through several menus. Although the platform is highly customizable, updating configurations or setting up new processes may require extra support, guidance, or training to do it efficiently.

I like that HR payroll, time tracking, and compensation data are all connected in one system with Workday HCM. This integration reduces manual data entry and minimizes payroll errors while giving payroll teams real-time access to accurate employee information. Having accurate data in one place is incredibly valuable, as it saves time during payroll processing and gives me confidence that employees are paid correctly. This improves operational efficiency and employee trust, making the integrated nature of the platform one of its biggest strengths once you gain experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workday is very powerful, but for new users, the number of reports, tasks, and business processes can feel overwhelming. I think a simpler learning experience for beginners would help users become productive faster. The initial setup was not simple because Workday affects multiple HR processes such as organizational structure, security, business processes, compensation, and reporting. It required careful planning, data validation, and testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Workday HCM is how intuitive and user-friendly it is compared to many other HR systems.

One thing I dislike about Workday HCM is that some processes can feel overly complex, especially when it comes to configuring workflows, reporting, or navigating less frequently used features. While the platform is powerful, there can be a learning curve for new users, and certain tasks may require more clicks than expected. Additionally, customization and system changes often require specialized knowledge or support from administrators, which can slow down implementation of updates. Overall, the system is very capable, but there is room for improvement in simplicity and ease of use for occasional users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Workday HCM is how everything is in one place and actually easy to use. It doesn’t feel overly complicated once you get used to it. Things like checking pay, updating your info, or requesting time off are pretty straightforward, which saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like about Workday HCM is that it can feel a bit clunky sometimes, especially when you’re trying to find something specific. You kind of have to click through a few different pages or menus, and it’s not always obvious where everything is.

Also, some of the processes take more steps than they probably should. Like for simple updates or approvals, it can feel a little drawn out instead of quick and simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything lives in one system. Recruiting is connected to core HR, so when a candidate becomes a hire, the data moves over without re-entering anything. Approval flows and permissions worked reliably, and in two years I don't remember the system losing data or breaking mid-process. For a company that needs structure and audit trails, it delivers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is my biggest issue. I used Workday Recruiting daily for about two years as a recruiter, and even simple actions take too many clicks and too many screen loads. Moving a candidate between stages, leaving feedback, or checking pipeline status all require waiting for pages to render and clicking through multiple screens that could easily be combined into one. Overall, the system feels designed for HR administrators who only jump in occasionally, not for recruiters who live in it eight hours a day. After a while, you end up batching tasks just to avoid opening candidate profiles more than necessary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Workday HCM is a powerful platform, some advanced configurations and integrations can be complex and may require specialized expertise.
