Workday HCM Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to manage payroll and timekeeping to drive more efficient payroll processes.

Pros

  • It enhances the timekeeping across the country because different states have different timekeeping rules and it's very intuitive based on the state.

Cons

  • Still working on the functionality. I have not seen any errors at this time.

Return on Investment

  • Too early to tell.

Workday HCM Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's basically like our ecosystem, all HRIS. It brings our talent, our performance management, it houses all of our HR data. So it brings all of that in one place, one space. And I think it helps. It makes everything easier, right? Because one click and you go in and you can see everything.

Pros

  • I think what it does is not having worked on the side of talent acquisitions. Whenever we have a job interview, for example, you can go right there, you can put in everything in Workday Human Capital Management. If I need to go in and see what a coworker put in or notes all that, I can document everything there in Workday Human Capital Management. I think the other thing that makes it a lot easier is for performance management, goal setting. All these things can be done right there in the platform and it just makes it easier. So to store documents, I can do that. I mean it is like a one-stop shop all in one, so it's excellent.

Cons

  • What just launched recently was the people analytics and I think it's a phenomenal tool. What I would like to see, since it's been about what two weeks of me navigating through this, I wish I could drill down into the data a little bit more without having to go to our people services team to run a report for me to get the data that I need. What I love about the product is that it allows you to, without having to think about what should I be looking at, what am I taking back to the operators, the business partners, it automatically tells you these are the highlights, some of the things to think about. But if I could drill down into that to tell the story would be an outstanding thing.

Return on Investment

  • I would say I haven't done the research to see, because I don't sit on that team, I'm more of a business partner. But I would say that I think for my team in particular, it saves us time, right? We're able to get so much of our time back just because we can do everything in one platform and not have to go and search for the things that we need or now being able to do, even the performance management piece in the system, time saving, all I can tell you is that it saves us time and I think with our time back we can be more effective partners.

Good but could be better

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use hcm for benefits. I don’t think this is WD strong suit. I wish it was more customizable. I wish we could see the black box of code. I feel like you make a lot of mistakes and it takes you weeks to fix it.

Pros

  • One stop shop
  • Integration

Cons

  • Better testing
  • Better understanding of benefits
  • Listen to your customers

Return on Investment

  • Better data centralized
  • Integration with other platforms

Workday works for you.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Workday in our entire organization, fulfilling, new hires, I-9, managing day to day employee requests including paid time off, payroll forecasting, reports that detail financials, location database management, senior level approvals and so much more. It's a day to day workflow that for the most part is simple and easy to use.

Pros

  • Manage Time Off requests.
  • Requisitions for new hires.
  • Promotions and pay increase.
  • Data Changes
  • Full Recruitment workflows

Cons

  • The requisition and candidate flow can take a bit to get used to, there are some arrows to go to the next candidate that aren't in the best place for workflow.
  • For our hourly employees that work in multi-departments where a rate change is required, there isn't a way to make that change in the inbox module. It would be great if this functionality was added for a more productive flow.

Most Important Features

  • Time approvals.
  • Recruitment
  • Pay Change & Approvals

Return on Investment

  • Quicker workflows.
  • Better communication of tasks.
