"Our employee benefits enrollment is managed through Ceridian Dayforce, which makes for a limited manual process."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The time capture from time cards to charging to projects has greatly improved because it is now all automated and flows into the GL very easily."
"Configuring your HR policies and rules is straightforward."
"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."
"I found the analysis features to be very useful for our company. I also found the modules installed to be aligned with our company's KPIs. These were the two features that stood out."
"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."
"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."
"Workday is a secure product."
"It saves a lot of time for onboarding processes."
"It stores everything for the employee. It has also been able to store the information that we use for our payroll demand."
"Performance and good usability are the two most valuable features of this solution."
"It was more efficient for the agents for their performance reviews, but when it came to HR and the recruitment team, it sometimes worked, and sometimes, it didn't work."
"The reporting could be improved."
"An area for improvement could be a little more testing before implementing hotfixes to make sure they do not interfere with any active customized products."
"The solution's initial setup was difficult. Also, the solution's initial deployment took around six months."
"The solution has a lot of glitches."
"The solution's dashboards and geofencing could be improved."
"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."
"Many things are presented as though they will be included with the system but then require costly upgrades."
"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."
"One potential feature that could be added is the ability to streamline business processes through quick tips and guided tours. This would allow for a smoother and more guided experience for colleagues as they navigate through different processes and steps. It would be similar to a guidance system or a step-by-step tutorial that could be added after the business process to guide users through it."
"The UI, UX (user experience) is very bad. It is not very interactive."
"Workday could improve by adding other features, such as messaging to candidates and other recruiting capabilities that other new-age solutions have."
"There could be a web-based application for making payments to the employees."
"The navigation of Workday is good but could be better."
"In a future release we could like to have access to asset, supply and treasury management functionalities."
"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."
"One area that could be improved with Workday is the analytics side."
