    Staying organized is easy, but locating tasks requires persistence

    4.0
    Jul 13, 2026
    I rated Workday HCM 4 out of 5 stars because it does a good job of bringing important employee resources (like payroll information, company email, required training, and benefit information) into one place. It's generally easy to use and helps me stay on top of tasks and access the information I need. What keeps it from being 5 stars is that some areas can be difficult to navigate or locate based on the section name I am trying to access. There are also a lot of navigation areas that can be overwhelming to look at the first few times you access the system.

Workday Human Capital Management Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I like most about Workday is that it serves as a single hub for so many employee needs. I can quickly access my payroll information, complete required training, look up and request information about my benefits without having to switch between multiple systems. I also appreciate how it helps keep important tasks and deadlines organized by labeling them for me based on urgency or completion rate. This makes it easier for me to stay on top of required training and other employee responsibilities. Overall, it's biggest strengths are the centralized access to information, the convenience of managing multiple HR related tasks in one place, and the visibility it provides for various aspects of my role as an employee.

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.
