## Reviews

### "A good HR platform" — 5.0/5

> **Martin** | *2 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like having everything in one place, from payroll and benefits to performance reviews. It's convenient to be able to write reviews about your co-workers on the platform as well.
> 
> **Cons**: The user interface can feel a bit rigid and 'corporate.' Sometimes, simple tasks like finding a specific tax document require clicking through too many sub-menus

-----

> **Steven** | *13 November 2024* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10

>

-----

### "your workday\! will be a great day" — 4.0/5

> **Gopal** | *6 January 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Vendor management and candidate management help to manage the data for business leaders, as well as with self-work productivity.
> 
> Overall, the features are good as compared to SAP SF, and Oracle Teleo.  if someone is looking for bulk hiring and managing the data, and a single platform workday would be great.

-----

### "Worth The Hype" — 4.0/5

> **Omotola** | *17 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Centralization of documents and work processes that makes it easy to have documentation in one place and not scattered all over.
> 
> **Cons**: It wonky when you first get started without clear instructions on how to navigate the workflow. Things are not well grouped in folders or spaces to ensure differentiation.
> 
> Overall, it is a good tool for managing a lot of workers/employees and it make it easy to standardize expectation across multiple departments

-----

### "Comprehensive but Powerful Employee Management Platform" — 4.0/5

> **Bree** | *1 September 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I used Workday HCM as a hospitality manager and relied on it for a large portion of our employee management. It was especially useful for hiring and onboarding new staff, managing employee information, tracking hours, and handling payroll-related processes. Having so many HR functions in one system made it easier to manage employees throughout their entire employment lifecycle. Once you get familiar with the platform, it’s a powerful tool for keeping everything organized and accessible.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest challenge with Workday is that it can feel overwhelming. There are a lot of features and different workflows, and some tasks require several steps that aren’t always intuitive at first. As a manager, I found there was definitely a learning curve, particularly when dealing with less frequent tasks or navigating beyond the functions I used regularly.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Workday HCM was positive. As a hospitality manager, I used it throughout the employee lifecycle—from hiring and onboarding to managing hours and payroll and eventually offboarding staff. It provided a centralized place to manage employees and made many of the administrative responsibilities of managing a large hospitality team much easier. It does take some time to learn, but once you understand the system, it is a very comprehensive HR platform.
