"Seamless Workday HCM Integration with Outstanding Performance and Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

In the past use of the ADP platform, it was not as robust or user friendly as I have found the Workday HCM platform to be. The integration process was easy, with use of information migration made simple. The performance since the integration has been second to none, as I have found to be the tool that the company was missing. The support for the any questions was available and our onboarding has really taken a step forward. The pricing was on par with our former platform, but the return I find to be better. The AI intelligence or ability to use, has been helpful as well. I truly enjoy the product and the experience has truly bee satisfying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

At the moment, nothing has presented as dislike, but if there was a challenge, it was the fear of data migration, which was seamless. The product has not disappointed in any regard as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Employee Records and Smooth Onboarding with Workday"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

Single employee record with Workday’s workflow continuity means there’s less need for repetitive data entry. It also provides a good structure for the onboarding process, and it works well for storing people information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

Nothing specific comes to mind. I’ve been using it for about two months now, and my experience has been good so far. The only issue is that it requires me to log in every time I switch to a different application to check other information; apart from that, it’s okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workday HCM Streamlines HR with Intuitive Self-Service and Powerful Analytics"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

orkday HCM has significantly improved the way we manage HR processes by providing a centralized platform for employee data, recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and reporting. One of the most valuable features is its intuitive self-service functionality, which allows employees and managers to update information, submit requests, and access HR resources without relying heavily on the HR team.

The automated workflows have streamlined approvals and reduced manual administrative tasks, helping improve efficiency and data accuracy. The reporting and analytics tools are particularly useful, as they provide real-time workforce insights that support informed decision-making.

An unexpected benefit has been the seamless integration between different HR functions, which has improved visibility across the employee lifecycle and enhanced collaboration between departments. Overall, Workday HCM has helped create a more efficient, transparent, and user-friendly HR experience while reducing processing time for routine tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

My main challenge with Workday HCM is usability. While the platform is feature-rich, some workflows require multiple clicks and screens to complete relatively simple tasks. Reporting and search functions can also be less intuitive than expected, particularly for users without advanced training. Improvements in navigation, search accuracy, and report-building simplicity would make the overall experience more efficient and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Self-service that saves the back-and-forth"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

The self-service side is what does it for me. Booking leave, checking my payslip, updating details, I do it all from my phone in a couple of minutes instead of emailing HR and waiting days. Everything's in one place and the mobile app actually works. Took a bit to learn where things live, but once it clicks it's quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

The search is the main thing. Finding a specific task or report often means knowing the exact term Workday uses, and if you guess wrong you get nothing, so I end up clicking around or googling how to do simple things. Anything beyond the basics, like custom reports, gets fiddly fast. It's powerful once you know it, but not something you can just pick up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customisable, Easy-to-Use All-in-One Platform That Boosts Efficiency"
4/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

It's very customisable according to company and users' needs. It's a very easy to use all in one platform from team admin to recruitment to performance review which helps me efficiently deliver the work I need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

This might be the way the company has built it but some of the functions are hidden which may take some time to find or get used to but once you are used to it, it's easy and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All-in-One HR Hub That Streamlines Payroll, Benefits, and Performance"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

What I like best about Workday HCM is how it centralizes all HR functions into one easy-to-use platform. Having employee information, payroll, benefits, time off, scheduling, and performance management all in one place makes our processes more efficient and reduces the need to switch back and forth between multiple systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

Workday HCM has a lot of great features, but it can be difficult to navigate at times, and some coomon tasks require too many steps. It takes time to learn, especially for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workday: A One-Stop Shop for Managing Direct Reports"
4/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

Workday is my one-stop shop for handling all direct report issues and finding solutions. It includes everything I need to manage my team in the most effective and efficient way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

There’s a steep learning curve for certain functions, such as schedule changes and the time-off calculators. At times, some features feel like they require too many steps, or there are multiple ways to do the same thing when it could be made simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Interviews, Candidate Tracking, and Easy Approvals"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

It was great for interviews and candidate tracking, and I never had an issue with that. Approvals were easy as well. We didn’t have Slack integration set up, although that might have been possible. For staff 1:1s and annual review meeting notes, we kept everything in Google Docs and didn’t store them in Workday; it would have been nice to have all of that in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

We didn’t have our meeting notes in there, and our KPIs or performance plans were all kept as separate documents in Google Drive. It would be much better if all of these could be stored together in Workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Professional layout, user friendly, great performance!"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

It’s easy to use, looks great, and doesn’t require any training. I like that it is usable on my phone as well as my laptop. The interface is also nice to look at, so I feel it's easy on the eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

Sometimes I get confused when they have updates and I have to figure out where the new information can be found, but I still like Workday and would recommend it to companies for their employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplicity and Efficiency for Interview Processes"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I like Workday HCM for its simplicity; it's not that complicated. The platform is direct, which makes it easier to use, and the questions are much easier to understand and handle. I also appreciate how easy it is to upload documents; it takes you directly to your folders so you can select files easily. The interface is really good, making the overall experience easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

I don't think I have anything that I would like to improve about it. However, if they do have an option for maybe different languages, people who do not understand purely English would adjust more to be more linguistic. The initial setup was not so easy and adaptation was quite complicated. Most people have problems with computer-based systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
