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. ----- ### "Simple to use as long as paying close attention" — 3.0/5 > **Jenna** | *13 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use, simple to navigate most of the time. Timekeeping is very simple to use on it, though wish I could view schedules and corrections as a whole. > > **Cons**: testing, the learning side likes to glitch out. as well as trying to put in schedules, a bit difficult to navigate putting in Teams scheduling. It's not easy to upload 1 whole schedule, so have to resort to adding one at a time. > > Haven't had many issues, only sometimes it doesn't like to work with learnings in aspects of loading modules or confirming completion. ----- ### "Workday HCM: A Powerful, All-in-One Foundation Built for Global Scale" — 5.0/5 > **Marquita** | *25 July 2026* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that Workday houses employee data, organizational structures, cost centers, and payroll in one ecosystem. The way that it consolidates team schedules, performance reviews, and compensation updates in one view is a true blessing for employees and HR staff. > > **Cons**: Cumbersome Request Forms can be a bit difficult to complete. Everyday actions, such as submitting time-off requests or filling requisition forms, are often criticized as tedious > > Workday is a highly powerful, enterprise-grade software that excels at scaling data but often sacrifices daily user experience and budget flexibility. It acts as an incredibly reliable "operating system" for giant corporations, yet its massive scope makes it a heavy, expensive lift to deploy and maintain. ----- Page: 1 / 72\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/66908/workday-hcm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/66908/workday-hcm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
