Propositions Manager Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Seamless experience for the employee" November 27, 2024 5.0 It seems like a tool that allows a lot of integrations which allows for efficiencies and gives the feeling of just one comprehensive tool for everything HR. And one can use it on the go through the app Pros I have only recently started using Workday, but it seems like a good tool that allows many integrations and therefore the feeling for the end user is that it is a comprehensive tool. Beyond the standard HR information one might need (salary, time off, etc.), my skills profile (from the recruitment stage) is integrated with the skill-building systems (courses, etc.) and the mentoring platform of the company. Another couple of feature I found useful (especially as a new starter) were the admin assistance chat, also integrated within the platform and the org chart. Logging in is made easy and they offer an app. Cons Nothing major negative to report at this stage. Switched from [HCM Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/206749/ResourceLink/) I switched as I changed company of employment. Review Source GV Gio V.

Everything is located on your dashboard. There is no multiple logins for different apps/software because it's all here. It gives easy access to view and/or change pay/benefit information, all employee personal information, taxes and time entering. What's not to love? Pros One of the things I like most about Workday HCM is the customizable drop down menu on your dashboard to make it easy to access things YOU need. Also, the time entering and access to benefit information is also great. Cons I don't have anything I don't like about it. Review Source HT Haruki T.
