"Employees like being able to see what entitlements/balances that they have for their time away."
"Our employee benefits enrollment is managed through Ceridian Dayforce, which makes for a limited manual process."
"The fact that the time and attendance system is built into the HRIS is very valuable because, in the past, we had to use two different systems."
"Configuring your HR policies and rules is straightforward."
"We have been able to automate many of our manual processes."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We used the solution to do a lot of performance management during the review cycle and it helped us alleviate the administrative burden."
"It is a one-stop solution for everything. You can look for information about other employees or you can track your information. There is a directory, so you can search for other employees. You can also see and track your personal details and salary details on the employee profile page."
"Workday is a secure product."
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"There is a lot to like about it. I really enjoy the business process framework. It's something that's really seamless. It allows you to have people within the flow. They get assigned a task to complete something to approve, etc. That's a really good piece of functionality that Workday offers. Their out-of-the-box reporting framework is also really powerful in terms of what it provides. These would be two things that I would highlight."
"In the process of obtaining representative sites in NaviNet, it assists us in facilitating decision-making and taking action."
"First time users, understanding accessibility and consolidated data is fairly easy. The solution improves productivity for users and reduces the need to switch between different tools."
"It's intuitive, a very usable tool and it's easy to find the data you're looking for."
"It is fairly easy to set up"
"The solution's initial setup was difficult. Also, the solution's initial deployment took around six months."
"I would like to see more built-in forms. This would save a lot of time during the year-end process."
"Our current software program offers a home page with important company documents and a place for company announcements. Unfortunately, Ceridian Dayfoce does not offer this."
"The reporting could be improved."
"One area to be improved is the solution's reporting function, which can be cumbersome."
"It would be nice if retro pay calculations were made automatically for salaried payroll, so a calculation and manual entry do not have to be done."
"I would like to continue to see improvements in the Recruiting module. I would like to see this module interact with Calendars, such as Outlook, etc."
"I would also like to see some improvement in standard reports. A standard report should be available to pull the required information for Affirmative Action Plans. I do not think I should have to build or create one."
"The navigation of Workday is good but could be better."
"The user interface could be better. Everything else was fine."
"The implementation could have gone a little smoother."
"The finance module of this solution is not great and needs improvement."
"It has missing functionalities. Specific countries, like Germany, didn't have the option to do payroll. Now we need to look for another product for HR."
"It is very unique as compared to other tools in terms of the employee master data and how it is organized. That's why sometimes the information needs to sit in two different systems because, in Workday, it is organized differently. This issue is not related to benefits. It is more or so related to how you categorize employees. I don't think this is a problem that could be solved. Workday is aware of this. It is one of those kinds of situations that you just got to live with."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"It is good that much of the development is based on community input but often that can lead to details being ignored and small, nagging issues are ignored."
