Workday Human Capital Management

Working within Workday HCM is fundamentally different from traditional relational database systems. It requires a shift from thinking in tables and rows to understanding an Object Oriented Data Model. Our experience has been characterized by a high degree of structural stability once the initial Business Process (BP) frameworks were established. While the system effectively centralizes the employee lifecycle, it is an expert user platform; the depth of configuration possible means that the system is only as logical as the architects who designed your specific tenant. It has successfully moved us away from manual data reconciliation across regional silos, but it has replaced the labor with the need for a dedicated, highly technical internal support team.

Workday has been a game-changer for us. Before Workday, we had an on-premises ERP/HRIS that started as our Y2K project. We were only able to afford to update that application once since we turned it on. Only a small group of superusers had access to the system. Reporting was difficult and all analytics had to happen outside the system. We also used multiple independent applications that did not work well with each other. A limited number of users could even access the system, without mobile or remote access. With Workday, we've been able to move to the cloud, get rid of our on-prem servers, eliminate technical debt, and embrace an application that can handle the entire employee lifecycle. Analytics are now instantly available for data-based decision-making. Employees and managers can now take responsibility for their own information. We now have automated business processes that work consistently for everyone in our organization.

The Workday HR application is the best HR application I have ever used. It just provides features and functionality that outperform its competitors. These features include its best-in-class use of AI, modern cloud technologies, robust security, easy configuration, the ability to customize using Workday Extend, modern reporting and analytics capabilities and a great mobile experience for our employees and leaders.

Workday Human Capital Management is a great tool that supports a cloud-based solution. Helping large enterprises to efficiently manage different business processes related to Human Resources, Payroll and onboarding of the talent. Overall experience makes the organization more streamlined in terms of planning and managing organizational resources.

I've had a very positive experience working with the Workday team. Our current support group - including our Account Executive, Managing Partner, and Customer Success Manager - has been consistently supportive and quick to take action. We've also had excellent results using Workday's consulting services, partnering with highly skilled consultants for new module implementations and functionality deployments.
