What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I find Workday HCM to be a very effective and user-friendly platform for managing HR and related processes. It makes accessing payroll, benefits, time-off requests, and employee records incredibly easy, all in a single place. The interface is modern and intuitive, which helps simplify daily tasks for both employees and management. I also appreciate the ability to streamline workflows and improve efficiency. One of the standout features for me is the reporting capabilities, which are detailed and customizable, allowing quick access to important information in real-time. The setup prompts were easy to use, and the introduction made learning how to use Workday very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Workforce Management with Easy Setup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I find Workday HCM very helpful from hire to tracking all the employees and contingent worker details. I particularly appreciate the Business Process feature, which includes approval steps and the ability to add condition rules for validation. The validation rule is beneficial, for instance, it allows me to manage requirements like not needing an SSN number for certain countries. I also think Workday HCM is more accessible than Oracle. The initial setup was very easy, and in my current organization, more than 100,000 people are using Workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I've used to for learning and training and found it to be an easy to navigate system. It is user friendly for our compliance training, which is great because we have to take courses on a regular basis and its a good system to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game-Changer for HR Management with Some Room for Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

I use Workday HCM primarily for payroll processing, and it has genuinely transformed how we manage our workforce. The standout feature for me is the reporting and analytics, giving us visibility into headcount and payroll trends. I appreciate that Workday HCM automates workflows significantly and makes payroll much faster. If I had to pick one thing I love most, it would be the real-time workforce data. Having instant, up-to-date visibility into headcount and turnover is invaluable. Workday connects the dots between HR, payroll, and recruiting data in a way that no other platform I've used has. This has a direct impact on faster decision-making and better workforce planning. The integration with Teams works overall well, and the initial setup required very minimal effort. The user experience and the all-in-one platform capability were better than other tools I've used, like ADP and BambooHR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

Workday HCM has a steep learning curve for first-time users, making it initially complex to navigate. The high implementation costs and licensing could be a barrier for smaller organizations with limited budgets. Additionally, a more intuitive interface and navigation could make it more user-friendly, along with improvements in system performance and load times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Workday HCM connects everything in one system, making day-to-day HR activities much smoother without needing to switch between multiple tools. The clean interface is another aspect I like; it's easy to track things like approvals, employee updates, and performance cycles, offering good visibility and reducing the need for constant follow-ups. The connected system helps with linking employee data to performance and approvals, allowing updates to flow automatically and minimizing manual effort and errors. This saves time and streamlines workflows. The intuitive interface is helpful for both HR teams and employees, making it easy to navigate and complete tasks without much guidance, thus improving adoption and speeding up processes. Overall, these features make Workday HCM more practical and efficient, enhancing the organization and efficiency of HR processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

Overall it works really well, but there are a few small areas where it could be even better. Some of the advanced features take a bit of time to get used to, especially if you’re new to the system. Also, certain reports or configurations can feel a little detailed to set up initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very user friendly and compatible with all devices. We have had a great experience with set up as well as employees being able to get how the system works and why it exists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

One challenge I have experienced with Workday HCM is that some workflows and configurations can feel overly complex, particularly when organizations try to customize processes extensively. While the platform is powerful, tasks such as approvals, reporting, or organizational changes can sometimes require multiple steps, which may reduce efficiency for end users if the system is not well configured.

"Simple, Efficient HR Tasks in One Centralized Workday HCM Hub"
4/5
What do you like best about Workday HCM?

What I like best about Workday HCM is how simple and efficient it is to handle everyday HR tasks. It makes it easy to request time off, view pay statements, update personal information, and check benefits all in one centralized place. The interface is intuitive and saves time, since everything is clearly organized and easy to find without needing to dig through multiple systems or reach out for support.

I also like that updates and approvals happen quickly and I can track the status of requests in real time, which makes things feel more transparent. Overall, it reduces a lot of back-and-forth and helps keep everything related to HR organized in one system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workday HCM?

What I don’t like about Workday HCM is that while it’s very functional, it can sometimes feel a bit complex when trying to find less frequently used features. Some menus and navigation paths aren’t always immediately intuitive, so it can take a few extra clicks or some searching to get where I need to go.

At times, certain tasks like making updates or reviewing detailed information can feel a bit repetitive because of the multiple steps involved. It works well overall, but there are moments where the workflow feels heavier than it needs to be for simple actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
