Workday Human Capital Management (HCM)

My usual use cases for Workday Human Capital Management  are that I am part of the total rewards team. My work cases involve viewing different employees' salary splits, compensation changes, when compensation changes happened, and what events triggered those compensation changes. I have to download reports from the repository containing salary details of all employees, including different components. Additionally, I record future bonus amounts and deferred cash bonuses for employees. These tasks are easily captured and recorded in the system.

The reports I can download with compensation details come in a very organized manner. I can record any future payments through the software, such as deferred cash bonuses that need to be paid one year later. These features are saved easily and my team can complete tasks in a hassle-free manner.

Workday Human Capital Management  has reduced administrative burdens and smoothed the process. I would rate it nine out of 10. You can easily record future payments or compensation changes that need to be made effective. The information about employee codes, variable compensation plans, and which variable compensation the employee receives gets captured in a very intuitive manner.

I have not directly encountered issues in Workday Human Capital Management, but my manager mentioned that the compensation module is not dynamic enough or flexible enough to accommodate the complexities in our salary structure. The compensation module could be improved for annual increments, promotional increments, and variable payouts. We find it better to handle these tasks through Excel rather than automate them through the Workday  module.

I have been working with Workday Human Capital Management for seven to eight months.

The stability and reliability of Workday Human Capital Management is good. I have never seen a breakdown of the software or any late response. It has performed consistently.

Workday Human Capital Management has been scalable. We have moved from 800 to 1,600 headcount, and I have found it to be very scalable.

I have not communicated with the technical support of Workday  for this product, but that area can be improved. We were trying to roll out the performance management process in Workday and were unable to customize it as per requirement. The person who manages the technical aspects was unable to customize the performance management system to our PMS requirements. Making tech support more accessible could help with customization needs.

I have been part of this organization for a relatively short time, so I am not aware of which software was used previously. Before this role, I have not worked extensively with any HCM tool.

I find this tool to be very effective, but I have not calculated the return on investment for the tool.

The software is from CaptivateIQ, not Adobe. I have not used the global compliance feature or advanced analytics. From an end-user perspective, I found the talent management tools effective, rating them nine out of 10. Workday Human Capital Management is considered a relatively costly module in the market. I am not sure about the cloud provider, and we do not have documentation, guides, or manuals. I have rated Workday Human Capital Management nine out of 10 overall.

I use the solution for recruitment, retirement, performance management, and organization management.

Workday Human Capital Management is a user-friendly solution. Employee record keeping is the most important feature of Workday Human Capital Management. The solution provides a reliable history of employee data and ensures safety, security, and data protection.

The solution is quite complex with all of the requirements that we have as a big company. When we get information about some task to do in Workday Human Capital Management, it's not easy to find it. The solution should focus more on user experience and less on the technical side.

I have been using Workday Human Capital Management for three years.

Workday Human Capital Management is a stable solution.

Workday Human Capital Management is a scalable solution. We use Workday Human Capital Management for the whole company worldwide.

We previously worked with SAP SuccessFactors. We switched to Workday Human Capital Management because of the better price.

The solution’s initial setup is very complex.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a one out of ten.

We implemented the solution through a third-party vendor.

We have seen a return on investment with Workday Human Capital Management.

The solution’s pricing is better than SAP SuccessFactors.

Workday Human Capital Management is deployed on the cloud in our organization.

We implemented a self-service function. We have to find the right balance between shifting activities to the end user and increasing additional effort for training mistakes and handling calls from users.

Users should take care of the interfaces because we had a third-party interface solution in the middle, which increases its complexity.

Overall, I rate Workday Human Capital Management an eight out of ten.

Workday Human Capital Management is our company's global HR system where information related to all our employees, starting from the recruitment to the exit of any employee, is stored.

Our company uses Workday to manage employee information, including the hire-to-retire process. I use the solution in our company as an HR system to maintain all of our employee records. If someone becomes a part of the company as a newly hired employee, then such an employee's entire record in the tool starts from when he or she got recruited until the time he or she leaves the company. The information of employees includes all the information, like life cycles, events, promotions, compensation, and everything else that is maintained in Workday.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a cloud-based system and easy to use. The product's end users get a good experience, as it is a very comfortable tool to use with navigations that are easy to go through.

The tool has certain shortcomings when it comes to its integration capabilities with other systems in our company, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Workday Human Capital Management for eight years. My company is a customer of the product.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Workday is a global HR system, and our organization has 1,80,000 employees. Most of our employees largely have access to Workday's ESS component, where they maintain their profiles and view their information.

Whenever we have had issues related to its integration capabilities with other systems in our company with the product, we contact the in-house technical team we have for Workday.

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.

The product's initial setup phase was easy. A proper training session is good enough to enable any user to start using Workday.

The time required to implement the product depends on the environment's complexity. In general, the implementation phase of the product at a country level takes about six to nine months.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it. For payroll, ADP is recommended as it has a global presence in APAC regions and Europe.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

The solution has good accessibility; it's easy to use and not very confusing.

It would be good if the solution provided more extensive training sessions.

I have been using Workday Human Capital Management for 13 months.

I rate Workday Human Capital Management an eight out of ten for stability.

Around 100 users are using the solution in our organization.
