What differentiates Workday Talent Management from other similar products?

cause it’s a large, full-suite system, implementing Workday (or doing major changes) tends to be more involved, both in cost and time, especially for organizations with lots of custom requirements and there are limits to how much deep customization is possible (some business object limitations) without complicating upgrades. Organizations may need to adapt their processes to match what Workday supports well

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Workday Talent Management is the Skills Cloud and skills-based architecture. Unlike many HR systems that just store static job titles or competencies, Workday’s Skills Cloud uses AI/ML to dynamically map, clean, and relate skills across the organization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Because Workday is feature-rich, setting it up and getting employees / managers fully comfortable takes time and Navigating to advanced tasks (reporting, performance templates, workflows) is often not intuitive. There are many sub-menus, dependencies, and often things are buried several clicks deep.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I’d recommend clearly defining your talent goals up front and starting with a phased rollout of the most critical features. Make sure you invest in data cleanup and user training, since Workday can feel complex at first. Strong change management and clear reporting needs will make adoption much smoother.
