Workday HCM offers a centralized platform that streamlines core HR processes such as recruitment, compensation management, full employee life-cycle and access to employee data in real time. Workday offers a user friendly interface for end-users and a fairly intuitive approach to perform HR transactions both via self-service and via HR Shared Services teams. One of the key features that our employees like is the self-service capability. Platform early adopters were fascinated with the ability to see their profile updates in real time, rather than sending an email to a generic mailbox and waiting for a long time for the changes to be reflected. Additionally, Workday offers fantastic reporting and dashboard capabilities, which allow for data driven decisions and recommendations. Finally, Workday integrates well with other systems and that makes Workday to be the hub and source of truth for employee data.

Workday is an expensive platform, so it may not be a good fit for smaller companies. Significant change management is also required to capitalize on the benefits of the system.
