There is no need to bother looking at the employee directory, and you can immediately capture members who belong to the organization by hierarchy, such as headquarters and department. The member's photo, email address, organization name, etc. are clearly visible, making it easy to contact them. As it has many functions, we think it will be a product for large companies. Understanding the structure of the team. Checking remaining paid leave. Requesting vacation.

If you use this service, it's great that you can see the personnel lineup at a glance. It is excellent to know in hours. Also, it is very convenient because you can request paid vacation by simply selecting the desired date from the calendar and clicking on it. Until now, I had created a list of employees in Excel, but it was difficult to understand the organizational hierarchy and reporting lines, and there were many queries, but I was able to visualize it with Workday.

The integration of HR-related systems, and organizations of people working together for the first time can be quickly confirmed.
