Workday Human Capital Management

My overall experience with Workday Human Capital Management has been highly positive, mostly because it takes a lot of the chaotic guesswork out of coordinating a large, multi-campus community college workforce. the main reason this system is such a lifesaver for us is how beautifully it consolidated all of our employee data into one single location. When you are managing a massive mix of full time instructors, adjunct faculty, student workers and campus maintenance staff, having everything synced up seamlessly cuts down on administrative errors and keeps our operations running smoothly. On the operational side, the scheduling and attendance tracking features have worked incredibly well for our day-to-day routine. Setting up rotating shifts or making last minute adjustments for campus security or dining services is very simple and managers can update hours on the fly. The attendance tracking is also seamless, allowing employees to log their hours and breaks accurately, which automatically flows right into payroll calculations and saves our office from dealing with an endless pile of corrected paper timesheets every pay period. The leave management and absence management tools have also been a massive help for keeping our departments properly staffed. Employees love how transparent the leave management side is because they can request vacation or sick days and see their exact balances instantly. On our end, centralizing all that absence management data makes it much easier to spot attendance patterns, ensure we are following all institutional policies consistently and guarantee we always have enough coverage so our students are never left stranded.
