"Streamlining HR and Finance"
What do you like best about Workday?

Workday, an integrated cloud-based platform, has established itself as a powerhouse in the realm of Human Resources (HR) and Finance solutions. As an avid user, I have found Workday to be a robust and user-friendly tool that significantly enhances organizational efficiency. User-Friendly Interface: Workday's interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it accessible for both seasoned professionals and newcomers alike. The well-designed dashboards and easy navigation contribute to a positive user experience. User-Friendly Interface: Workday's interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it accessible for both seasoned professionals and newcomers alike. The well-designed dashboards and easy navigation contribute to a positive user experience

What do you dislike about Workday?

Customization Complexity: While Workday is highly customizable, making intricate adjustments to fit specific organizational needs can sometimes be challenging. It requires a good understanding of the platform and, in some cases, support from Workday consultants. Cost: Workday's pricing structure might be a bit steep for smaller businesses. While the platform offers considerable value, budget constraints could be a limiting factor for some organizations

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the standout features of Workday is its seamless integration of HR and Finance functions. The platform provides a holistic view of an organization's workforce, enabling better decision-making and resource allocation.

"Workday convert"
What do you like best about Workday?

Workday is really designed to make anything you need to do possible, if you understand the system and it's possible configurations. I love that workday allows you to look into the history of business processes and to augment those processes as well. Workday is the best tool for HR and this comes after many years of working with ADP.

What do you dislike about Workday?

I think the candidate process for recruitment can be to lengthy. I love the resources workday has for learning but wished they offered more configuration training.

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workday is able to update and release software after sandbox testing. I love that I can make tests and see outcomes in sandbox and then tailor processes. Workday solves a lot of problems by being accessible to employees and delivering them messages about tasks they need to perform..

"Contributor to company toolset"
What do you like best about Workday?

Easy to request time off, easy to see how much there is, and als makes it very easy to report expenses.

What do you dislike about Workday?

I wish it provided a way to report that something is missing like: in this case: I want to expense something, but the cost center is not there, let me flag it to my organization

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

When you need to ask for time off it's so much easir to file it in and have your manager review it, instead of asking about it on a DM or something, it streamlines the process.

"Awesome tool - all in one multi purpose tool"
What do you like best about Workday?

It is one of the most easiest and simplest interface I have come across in my professional career. Streamline of all the spendings at one place solves for multiple challenges in manual tracking otherwise. Automatic saving of incomplete expense report has helped me save so much time always.

What do you dislike about Workday?

Not found anything to dislike as of now. Sometimes lag can be there but that's very minimum and happens with almost all tools we use. Overall happy using this in our office

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps in transparent reporting of expenses and spending. Able to pay our vendors involved in procument in a much easier and hassle free way. In our field demand for weekly pay out is high and it is made possible with Workday spend management. Ease of communication reduced our manual efforts.

"WORKDAY is design for every COMPANY in the world."
What do you like best about Workday?

What I like the most in workday is it's simple interface that you don't have to ask your Boss how to use it. Just a simple click then back then you will simply find the information or simply do the task provided to you. I worked for 3 companies before and all of them are using WORKDAY like what workday again? ok, I know how to use this. That is how WORKDAY is famous for for being so straight-forward and simple and yet very reliable tool between the company and the employees.

What do you dislike about Workday?

I never encountered any bug in Workday as I mentioned that it's simplicity made it easy to use by just clicking then back then you will not lose your way in or out.

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that large company may encounter is the communication between the back office and it's production employees. With the help of Workday, we can download files that they are sending and or we can easily submit documents that they are asking by just simply uploading it.No need to queue at their office or go there physically and it saves us a lot of time.

"Fairly easy to use and delivers on what is promised"
What do you like best about Workday?

Again, it is easy to use with a good enough UI and generally does what it tells you it will do.

What do you dislike about Workday?

Honestly, nothing is too bad. The main thing would be that the UI does sometimes feel a tad outdated. That is not really something I care too much about though.

"Workday HCM Review"
What do you like best about Workday?

Easy to access benefits, easy to change benefits, easy to access payroll information. There is a true partnership between the client and Workday. They want to see us succeed with the application and partner with us when we have a concern or issue. They are also proactively pulling us into to design committees to help inform the product moving forward.

What do you dislike about Workday?

Can be a little clunky finding certain documents, takes a while to generate docs, peer reviews need work. It does take significant time to bring someone up to speed on becoming a master Workday Report Writer. The approach used is very specific to Workday and not similar to other reporting platforms so it takes time to bring people up to speed.

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

Increase hiring speed and quality by quickly sourcing and recruiting the right candidates. Increase engagement with work-life solutions that help motivate employees and deliver a superior employee experience.

"Workday Review"
What do you like best about Workday?

Workday has been incredibly helpful for our organization. We have the ability to easily pay vendors, create miscellaneous payee IDS, and track payments by readily using applications within the app.

What do you dislike about Workday?

Workday can be search term specific, so it can be challenging to locate the exact reports and information needed. For example, if you are searching for a miscellaneous payee, you have to type in the name exactly as it is spelled otherwise no results are returned. Additionally, it can be challenging to find certain reports with the number of different reports available to search for one area.

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workday has made it easier to utilize all of our finance, HR, and payment applications/reports in one place. We no longer have to go to three different systems to do budget reports, setup vendors, and pay people. Workday acts as a one-shop stop for all of these applications.

What do you dislike about Workday?

"The finance system that moves you forward."
What do you like best about Workday?

Workday Financial Management is a solitary cloud based arrangement intended for financial arranging, examination and exchanges. By consolidating exchanges, bookkeeping, investigation, and consistently on review in one framework, Workday engages leaders with in the second and in a hurry financial and business understanding, they can follow up on and plan for what is next. Workday can make work processes for orders. You can utilize rationale to figure out who the request ought to go to next for either more data or endorsement, and you can put together it with respect to the demand type, the allocated cost place, the program, the elucidating labels, and the sky is the limit from there .Easy to explore. Choices to discover all I need on my paycheck. Great reports and detailing capacities inside the framework - the organization graphs are likewise great Not just is it valuable to see pay and time worked, yet it can assist representatives with seeing their exhibition surveys and access all their vocation objectives related measurements from one stage. With everything taken into account, simple to utilize UI.

What do you dislike about Workday?

Workday runs moderate at times, particularly on days when we are stacking finance and there is a ton of information experiencing the system. There ought to be a type of a channel highlight. It contains no devices for venture management other than the bookkeeping of accessible financial plan, commitments and actuals. A few terms do not mirror the right bookkeeping, money, and task management businesses.

What problems is Workday solving and how is that benefiting you?

Generally, I would state it is a decent tool; however, it needs some refreshing to make it easier to understand. I am not a gigantic devotee of how this program functions. The truth that it incorporates with our HRM framework makes it simpler to bore into certain informational collections. Adding connections to solicitations and diary passages has transformed us into a paperless office.
