The solution has improved our organization because it's much simpler to navigate. On the learning and talent side... I work for a bank, we have to do continuous compliance education, so we have to do a ton of different learning things. Our learning situation, our learning set up before was distributed, it was done in a bunch of silos. There was an initial landing page that took you to multiple different websites where you absorbed the content and then you confirmed or acknowledged that you've actually studied the content or you took a test. With this solution, it's really nice. All of the learning content is there. It's much easier to consume. I don't feel like I'm jumping around between different platforms.

Based on the corporations I've worked for and I've consulted with, it surprised me how immature at times they are with their people processes. There is such a focus on scaling the revenue-generating arm of the business that oftentimes, the operations are somewhat neglected. Workday creates a framework where you can scale the operations of the business to support what's going to drive revenue. It creates operational efficiencies.

The platform doesn't help me in decision-making as I have used it only for basic applications, including applying for leaves and managing calendars.
View full review »When I used to work on Workday, some of the info wasn't accurate, and I had to double-check via Sage People. The company that bought us wanted to use their own product. Their product was Workday, and our product was Sage People. They told us that Workday is like Sage People, but something didn't add up. I always used Sage People as a backup tool for Workday.

Workday has improved our organization by being a centralized spot for payroll and benefits information. We use it extensively and plan on expanding our use.
View full review »We have been able to reduce the administrative burden of HR so that HR can focus more on strategic activities rather than administrative work. It also provides better visibility in reporting on benefits.
View full review »My personal organization does not use it. However, in my clients’ organizations, people really seemed to like the user interface, and the community has been extremely helpful. The regular releases are also very nice. Reporting is a bit of a learning curve coming from an ERP built on a standard relationship database, but once users get the hang of it, it's really quite powerful.

With other ERP tools in place, there is a lot of scope for customization with this solution. There is a lot of maintenance and we need a very huge team to maintain our ERP systems. With Workday taking everything to the cloud and taking responsibility of the customizations, introduce the workforce which we need to maintain in the organization.

We were using an on-premises application in the past. The upgrade time for that application used to be a project in itself, lasting one year. With Workday being a cloud application and SaaS model, the upgrade process is no more a nightmare. It gets updated overnight.
The support team for this on-premises application used to be a larger team. Now it is a smaller team. We have reduced the staff that supports this application, and there is no cost for the upgrade. There is an update every six months, and it is free.

- By leveraging the business process framework that the product delivers, and the built-in workflow, it has forced individuals to be more accountable to their managers and employees.
- It also enforces cleaner data; you cannot just push data into the system without validations.
- There is no need for SQL updates to a database to fix data issues.
If there was something to really point out here, it isn’t what Workday has done or offers, but what it hasn’t done that has been so powerful. We struggled to have successful implementations previously, partly because of our desire/need to implement features and functionality that are uncommon. Workday bases what they do on a large set of customers and the requirements laid out by the law. Being required to color inside the lines has helped us focus on what makes our company unique when it comes to pay, vacation, benefits, etc. Don’t get creative; get it right.
