Has improved HR process efficiency through intuitive workflows and responsive support

There is something that could be improved in Workday, specifically in the time tracking module. While I am not working on Workday now, I was a regional HRIS working for Egypt, Malta, India, and China. I mention these countries to relate to high population countries and companies. In our company, we use assigned work schedules for our teams. Because we work with the time tracking module, we need to assign shifts. In the manufacturing industry, we might need to change shifts every day or week. Manufacturing teams are huge, approximately 50 to 200 people in one team. If this team has one leader, the leader needs to assign a work schedule for each person individually. While there is mass upload functionality where we can load shifts for all people or specific groups, we need to select multiple people and assign them to a schedule from the interface itself. I have requested this functionality many times. When extracting business processes awaiting actions report, I can select different processes in one box, hit okay, and the report comes up. However, the same functionality does not work for work schedule assigning. If implemented, it would help many people in companies with high populations and big teams.

Cons

"The solution's OKR system or performance management tool is not so great."

"In a future release we could like to have access to asset, supply and treasury management functionalities."

"I'm not sure they have added this feature yet, but there should be a cellphone version, so we do not need to do it on a laptop."

"My opinion is that this solution can improve the overall integrations and add more automation. I think anything that could be on a self-serve basis would work quite well."

"It's possible that the way things are integrated could be improved"

"The user interface could be better."

"The product must include payroll features."

"The price could be lower."

"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to pay a yearly license for greytHR, which is much cheaper than SAP SuccessFactors."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten."

"The solution is flexible in terms of pricing."

"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."

"By and large, Workday is expensive. It is based on the headcount. I'd probably rate it a three or four out of five in terms of pricing. It'd be like buying a Mercedes or a high-end car. It's expensive, but there's a specific value that you're getting with additional features and things of that nature. Using that metaphor, Workday probably tends to be more of a luxury. There are others like ADP that can do your payroll, your time off, and other things, but they don't do it as well."

"The pricing for this solution is fairly high. It is not affordable for small and mid-sized companies."

"It is on a yearly basis."

"It's very, very expensive."

"Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
