What is Workday?

Workday HCM is an enterprise HR suite covering people records, recruiting, talent and workforce processes. It is relevant when employee changes must flow through approvals, reporting and payroll connections across a complex organisation. The catalogue entry focuses on HCM; Workday financial management is a separate buying scope. A global HR record does not mean every country uses the same payroll engine.

Alternatives to Workday

SAP SuccessFactors

SAP SuccessFactors HCM brings core HR, talent, learning and workforce insight into a cloud suite. Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll are distinct elements of the broader portfolio, so a buyer should map each required process to the actual proposal. SAP offers a guided sample-data trial, which is useful for orientation but cannot establish whether a configured integration will meet an employer’s requirements.
