A tool to help businesses maintain records of the hire-to-retire process of employees
Our company also uses Workday HR Talent Management and Software Talent Management, which help in performance management and succession planning. My company uses Workday Learning to allow employees to explore various areas where they can learn something via training sessions. Before the use of Workday Human Capital Management in our organization, we used to use PeopleSoft. As PeopleSoft did not meet our organization's criteria regarding the need for a product that can be deployed at a global level, we chose Workday for HR-related activities and ADP Global Payroll.
