The learning and training integrations are particularly valuable because they connect learning management tools with employee profiles. This makes it easier to track certifications, training progress, and professional development in a centralized place. I also like the simple and intuitive user interface. Navigating the system is straightforward, which improves the experience for both employees and administrators. The absence calendar is especially useful because it provides a clear visual overview of time off, helping employees request leave and allowing managers to quickly see team availability. Overall, Workday HCM offers an integrated and user-friendly environment that helps simplify HR processes and support effective workforce management. > > **Cons**: One aspect I liked the least about Workday HCM is that report generation can sometimes be slow, especially when working with larger datasets or more complex reports. This can affect efficiency when quick access to information is needed for decision-making or operational tasks. In addition, it is not always easy to find the right report within the system. With the large number of available reports and options, navigating to the specific one you need can take some time. Improving report discoverability and performance would make the reporting experience smoother and more efficient. > > Overall, my experience with Workday HCM has been positive so far. As a manager, I use several of the platform’s features on a regular basis, including reviewing employee information, managing absences, and accessing training-related tools. The system generally makes it easy to perform these tasks in one centralized place, which helps streamline day-to-day management activities. The interface is clear and most functions are intuitive, allowing me to quickly find the information I need and complete routine HR processes efficiently. While there are some areas that could be improved, such as report speed and navigation, the overall experience has been good and the platform provides useful tools that support effective team management. ----- ### "workday experience" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 April 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Workday is comprehensive, and it unified HCM. and its strong in AI, and strong in workforce planning. > > **Cons**: it's really not user friendly. it's not intuitive, and it's more complex than it should be. simple tasks feel unnecessarily challenging. ----- ### "Powerful, flexible and user friendly for Payroll" — 5.0/5 > **Rachelle** | *2 February 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user-friendly interface that’s easy to learn and navigate.

You time requesting office, leaves of absence. I really enjoy this tracking tool. I have used it for about 2 years now with my Employer R1. You can customize it and add learning as well and performance reviews and goal setting. It is a great way to track your employees and offer a very user friendly application for them as well to stay connected with all documents. I love the fact that it’s shod graphs of your team members and management and also your direct contact for support. You can complete many training and certificates through this application as well for job role management and staying up to date with clearances, certificates and government policies. I truly enjoy this application and think a lot of employer should use this to help there employees stay on top of thre time, benefits, notifications, goals, performance, job postings, certificates, testing. Requesting time off and all documents is very nice as well. > > **Cons**: There is not much I do not enjoy about this app. I have not found anything to honestly complain about. > > Rewarding, beneficial, user friendly, organized.
