The employee's/friends I've referred to Workday have been excellent.

We are built on trust. It's why people buy our product, it's why people like me have 10-year plus tenure.

Review from Sales Dept

The interesting, kind and hard-working people I get to work with every day

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

A focus on unblocking our teams, allowing them to operate independently towards shared goals. As is, there is far too much bureaucracy and middle management that slows everything down. This is demoralising, people want to do good work and are being prevented from doing so.

Review from Engineering Dept

Having a culture of high performance and growth

Review from HR Dept

Start listening to employees again

Review from Engineering Dept

Employees as a core vskue in action nit hust a mesnibgless phrase it has become

Review from IT Dept

More transparency and accountability, acting professionally.

Review from Marketing Dept

More hiring or automation to reduce 15hour workdays

Review from Finance Dept

More prioritization and a focus on employees first

Review from IT Dept

People are energized when they are fully on board with their role. They understand it, expectations are clear, have examples of what good looks like or can visualize it, have comfort feeling like they can fail but learn from it and be supported.

Review from Finance Dept

Paying people fairly, and rewarding team players. The apathy currently os horrific.

Review from Sales Dept

have a leader not a aggressive -Passive boss with 19 century mentality

Review from Product Dept

Focus on communications and actually caring about the employee experience. Actual efforts beyond well-crafted messages from the leadership team. The constant org changes also don't help employees feel like they are in a stable and sane environment.

Review from Communications Dept

Managers need to be more involved and take action when workmates are not creating a positive environment.

Review from Communications Dept

Invest to education, provide time for personal project, they may help for company as well, less management levels between lowest and highest

Review from Engineering Dept

1. Review leadership capabilities and PeakOn scores. Some leaders 'grew up' at Workday and are ill-suited for the corporate challenges we now face. 2. Provide a coherent BT strategy and align 3. Enforce CoC - follow up on value-violations 4. Diversity for all - not just gender or spec. ethnicities

Review from IT Dept

We buy in to our own hype some times

Review from Engineering Dept

Focus on the "Belonging" part of VIBE and not just filling up the numbers to get the right proportion of diversity official numbers. Look at teams (at the lower levels) that have a low history of hiring, promoting minorities...A lot of white women get promoted and celebrated but not other women

Review from Operations Dept

Foster a culture of being able to challenge status quo effectively. People pleasing and "alignment at all costs" is costing Workday millions of dollars in internally wasted time and in results.

Review from Operations Dept

Do all that can be done bot to erode the culture of what made WD ince a great place to work. A couple of 'bad apple' hires can be toxic.

Coworkers are great, but management does not think those beneath them work hard. Managers often openly speak poorly of others. Finance department in Salt Lake is toxic.

Review from Finance Dept

The company culture is great and genuinely trying to maintain this great culture. The managers in Salt Lake do not reflect this same culture.
