Workday Human Capital Management software has fully automated important processes in our organisation such as employee life cycle management, payroll management and onboarding. We have had a smooth deployment and implementation process with the product. It has robust features for talent management and human resource services management. The software is an all-in-one tool for human capital management because of its effectiveness in handling payroll services, spend management and the entire employee life cycle. Use of the tool has assisted us in employee performance tracking, competency management and goal setting.

“How a Highly Configurable Product Can Complicate User Experience”

3.0
Dec 24, 2024
Lots of product functionality and highly configurable, but not very user friendly. Difficult to complete routine tasks and finding myself spending lots of time trying to navigate the interface.

Workday Human Capital Management Likes & Dislikes

Like

Workday Human Capital Management software is very robust when it comes to workforce management and planning. The software ensures proper budgeting and forecasting and automates important processes, thus ensuring compliance and reducing errors. I like the product's flexibility and affordability. Workday Human Capital Management software has a pay-as-you-use method of service payment and subscription. The software removes the need for multiple systems. Integration of capabilities of the software with other tools is flawless and it can also be customized for specific needs.

Like

I think the configurability is a plus; it serves as a single source of truth for HR related documents/ performance reviews/benefit elections/payslips which is good; I also know that Workday has a broad set of APIs which is another benefit and allows companies to tailor their Workday configuration to their specific organization

Like

I like the flexibility of the Workday benefits module for configuration. It accommodates the variety of benefits that we offer like medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA, retirement, disability and life insurance. It also handles benefit life events really well.

Dislike

Haven't found anything to dislike about the software. So far so good.

Dislike

The UX/UI is not particulalry intuitive, it takes me a long time to find what I'm looking for, I think a HR help portal should be built into the configuration so that the Workday user can easily ask questions to HR when Workday issues arise. I also think the homepage is a bit barebones and can have more buttons/functionality - I find that it often takes a lot of clicks to navigate to where I am trying to go from the home page.

Dislike

Workday continues to work on making the vendor integrations easier to set up and configure. Today, there is still a lot of work to set up a benefits integration with a vendor that does not have Workday APIs as an option.

    Workday Human Capital Management's unified data model helped us eliminate a couple of HR systems. No doubt the implementation was a lot of work but it was totally worth it!
