Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Workday is simple to use and very intuitive. It made training new employees simple and they were able to be caught up quickly. I don't have much bad to say about this product, as it definitely made our day-to-day operations more smooth and easier to swallow. I am happy to endorse it for any company that could use it.

Pros

Good support
Easy scheduling
Ease of use

Cons

Risk of cyber attacks
Outdated interface in certain areas in my opinion.
Search function leaves some to be desired.

Likelihood to Recommend

I like having all of my information (benefits, compensation, profile) in one place that I can access easily. It helps a lot when new employees come and training is required. I always am able to find what I am looking for, as long as I am sure what that is. It also helps generate analytics and is able to assess how our employee profile is as a whole.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use workday in order to keep track of vacation/PTO time and the hours I worked. It's sort of like a timesheet, mainly used to track time and tasks done at my job.

Pros

Great at tracking vacation and PTO.
Great at easily accessing tax documents.
Great at tracking time.

Cons

None really. It's pretty easy to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use it primarily to track time for finance. As a developer, what I do is track the hours I worked the amount of time I spent on each task, and what I did during that time in the notes section. It also serves as a pretty good reminder of things you need to do whenever you log on.

April 4, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Workday Professional Services Automation is a great tool that holds all of our company files, our HR and onboarding information, payroll, and benefits. I love how easy it is to access any of these files and how much time it saves us. It's just as easy to update any of the information too. I also like that we have a full project lifecycle from start to finish because it helps us see what is going on with the project and where it is in the process.

Pros

Project and resource management
Accurately track time from anywhere
Increase productivity

Cons

Mobile application need to improved

Likelihood to Recommend

Workday Professional Services Automation is used to automate onboarding documentation, people management documentation and employment verification information. Workday houses our employee personnel files. All team members have full access their documents, status or requests from the supervisors, etc. It also holds all payroll information, benefits, etc.

Workday helps keep my work day positive!

April 4, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Workday Professional Services Automation addresses our problem for remote access, scheduling time, and being able to download tax forms. Employees in this new world of work are looking for the flexibility of being remote or hybrid, which means not going into the office to punch in and out or speak with HR to get their tax forms.

Pros

Easy to navigate
Great, visual UI
Works on mobile

Cons

Log in is clunky when you have to do it multiple times a day
Incompatible with other systems
Ability to customize

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a company with very little administrative or IT staff that can be dedicated to run, train, and launch - this is the perfect tool for you because it requires very little on the set up end and training. It looks like a social network so a platform many are already used to seeing. Its definitely a very powerful product with an easy interface, providing a stellar customer experience.

Workday is a Great Option for Large Organizations

April 4, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I primarily used Workday as a central location for all things HR-related. I didn't manually have to clock in or out, but there was a time-keeping feature. It also tracked all of my vacation and sick hours and allowed me to request vacation/sick time within the portal. It also had all of my pay information and kept track of historical salary information (merit increases, bonuses, etc.). It also was extremely helpful in finding people within our organization. It had an organization tree, so you could find individuals as well as teammates on their team and supervisor/bosses, along with contact information such as their work email and/or phone number, so it was really easy to find anyone within the organization and anyone else associated with them if you needed it. Workday also housed some information about benefits and what I had enrolled in for that fiscal year.

Pros

Time Tracking
Organizational Employee Overview
Benefits Tracking
Pay/Salary History

Cons

More clearly defining areas within the portal.
More tutorial training

Likelihood to Recommend

I really enjoyed using Workday. I liked that it was a one-stop shop for all things related to HR or payroll. I didn't use it for time tracking, but I heard it was a little tedious to use it, from people who had to use it to clock in and out. I think it's a great platform for a large company that has a lot of employees to keep track of and a lot of resources to provide to employees so they can help themselves if possible.

Workday will get the job done

March 26, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Depending on the state you reside in determines the navigation of Workday. In the state of California, it was a bit more difficult due to the tough labor laws, however, that was easy enough to navigate as well, there were just more details that were needed. In most states, you could simply state you had worked 8 hours, etc. In California, login and out along with lunches were required punches. Not a big deal just more time-consuming is all.

Pros

Simplicity.
Ease of app.
Quick feedback if correction is needed or clarified.

Cons

The ability to advocate and place time in on your own.
When time was submitted for payroll it was not easy to see if the time card had been accepted.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would use Workday if company had provided it. However, the company that utilized Workday was a multibillion-dollar company and it was not up to par for such a large company, it was a downgrade on what was previously used.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is the heart of our Human Capital Management. It provides complete automation for all processes from search and selection to onboarding. It also provides Leave of Absence, performance management, benefits management, and all day-to-day employee operations so that they can be managed with excellence. Especially during pandemic circumstances, paperless processes and automated workflows helped a lot during an onboarding period.

Pros

HCM
Benefits management
Onboarding

Cons

User interface
Mobile application
Ergonomy

Likelihood to Recommend

It gives us very useful insights about average salary statement employee reports in order to understand where you are in the market and your peers. Excellent paperless onboarding processes helped a lot during the pandemic. Payslips integration facilitates many financial requests between HR and many other authorities like tax government office or financial institutions.
