Really good reports and reporting functions within the system - the org charts are also really good.
The system can be quite temperamental and glitches fairly often - for example searching a full candidate name will not yield any results, but just the last name will bring up the candidate.
Having all systems in one place is very useful, and having an integrated payroll system is better than the previous system.
The application is user-friendly and efficient. You're able to find the areas that your company has it set up for pretty easily. We use it for payroll, and it shows anything I need in a clean way such as scheduling & reports to be submitted to our managers.
Sometimes its annoying to click through all the tabs to find what you need - but its still a clean layout, so not too bad. The application also times out if there is no activity for a long enough period of time - although the safety measure outweighs this con.
This application allows for payroll management and information flow-through to employees. There's better transparency and efficiency in our system - less questions that need to be asked to upper management individually, and more standardization in our processing.
Workday was a great tool for budgeting and HR needs
Workday's financial system is expensive and a bit user unfriendly
Workday kept finances organized in creating budget and strategic plans
Workday centralizes a lot of HR functions
It looks a bit dated when it comes to interface
Save HR time
It is a comprehensive solution to address everything from HR to Financial matters as it relates to employees
I can't think of anything that I particularly dislike, but would make recommendations to continually improve the user experience so that it is easy to navigate
Using Workday Financial Management allows for ease obtaining approvals. The process of obtaining approvals is also done electronically, so use of technology is increased.
It is a great program to keep all payroll and HR tools compiled together. As an employee it is nice to be able to login and manage benefits and also access hours/see new positions available in the company all in one place.
Several of the 'buttons' on Workday reroute you and take you away from the homepage and it times out in 5 minutes so you need to constantly login or stay active in the program.
I am able to access almost all HR functions from this program.
I like how easy to navigate the site is. Simple to learn.
They send out too many notifications between email and the app.
This does not apply to me.
I like the user interface of Workday. The platform is very easy to navigate and has many great functionalities and add on's should you choose to use them.
There is little I dislike about Workday Financial as it is a great platform that is designed very well. It is a solid system that is comprehensible and easy to use even for beginners. No cons to report, really.
Workday Financial is leveraged for accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, asset management and reporting on financials.
The ability to enter and access different information makes it a great address book and calendar tool. Very helpful for managing those but those are about the only functionalities I enjoy.
Often difficult to navigate the site. Pressing the back button takes you to the login page rather than being able to jump forward / backward throughout the site. Extremely difficult to navigate the goal setting. Doesn't allow for much ability to view previous goals / set future ones.
The ability to manage contacts and access different information points for them.
What I like most about Workday is that I can electronically access all of my payslips which prevents me from losing them if they were to be physical copies. I also like that I can track my career's performance history including raises, goals and achievements.
I like all the features of this program, the only thing I could suggest is to somewhat organize it more to make it easier to find what you're looking for. At times I find myself getting lost down the rabbit hole of the software trying to look for something.
With Workday Financial Management, I am able to take care of and find things I need, myself. Instead of going to higher management and telling them that I need to change information, or requesting something from them, a lot of the time it's available for me in Workday and I can get it myself instead of for one, having to wait, and two I am saving them time.
