Overview

About Workday HCM

Workday HCM was founded on a disruptive idea: to put people at the center of enterprise software. Now, over a decade later, we still deliver on that idea every day. Our core values give us a framework for leadership and daily decisions and help us enjoy our time at work. Sounds so simple, but too often companies get caught up in politics, ivory-tower attitudes, and market mania instead of focusing on the things that probably made them successful in the first place. Workday HCM is a single, cloud-based solution for workforce planning, analysis, and execution.

Our solution is used by more Fortune 500 and G2k companies to operate with agility and efficiency enabling, organizations to be ready for whatever comes next. Unlike rigid HR systems or point solutions, only Workday delivers the skills-based HCM foundation and continuously innovates to enable customer success as the impact of technology, alternative work arrangements, and employee expectations evolve.

We HQ Hire use Workday. It is the software of my choice. It is probably one of the best HR Software for businesses that have at least 100 employees or more. My experience with it is overall quite positive. Detailed reports and analytics with diagrams and organization charts. Streamline the HR process from hiring to onboarding to providing visibility and limited control for hiring managers in managing their employees. Lack of transparent pricing which can be expensive when adding additional features to the software. Limited benefits for small businesses with less than 100 employees.

We BestPeopleFinder use “Workday“ for our HR department. It is just as if your HR activities are on one page. It is a very simple and intuitive tool for companies of all sizes, with features like recruiting, talent management, payroll, time tracking, workforce planning, and compensation. I love the User Interface of Workday because it is very easy to navigate for any user and requires almost no training. We also find it helpful in accessing the personnel reports through Workday, especially performance and training tracking and scheduling. We use Workday daily and using it for 3 years.

“I find it easy and best to use as HR Software tool”

Overall rating5.0

I find it easy to use and navigate through. We are just getting some of the new features so I am not sure about it as a whole package yet, but so far, the accounting and HR piece is very good.
