Workday Leadership Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I appreciate their dedication to our #1 value - Employees

Review from HR Dept · Posted 20 hours ago

There is a sense of authenticity that is coming back to the organization. They are genuine people that want to deliver good results together.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 21 hours ago

Leadership at Workday over the past few years has been a revolving door. While there were some stumbles, they were recognized; leadership changes made; and hopefully getting the company back on-track.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 3 days ago

Their level of transparency and focus on culture.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 3 days ago

They have some vision and they are trying to work towards it.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 4 days ago

Focused on customers and employees vs only the stock price.

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 5 days ago

There are some very strong female leaders who I wish I reported to.

The transparency, openness, vision and care about the employees.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Focus on the goals and future perspective.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 5 days ago

I like that Aneel is back

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 5 days ago

They care about employees but some decisions are still driven in a way that it does not necessary align with the core value about employees.

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 6 days ago

Credible, articulate, transparent, and caring

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Aneel's leadership is very motivating.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 8 days ago

We are begining to see more transparency.

Review from Communications Dept · Posted 8 days ago

I like my immediare leadership - RSD and RVP, who know me as a person but also have a really real and valid pulse on whats going on in the business and industry.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 8 days ago

I believe they believe in our messaging even if it occasionally gets lost in translation

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 8 days ago

they're clear about their goals, they have a focus on the employee experience, and they trust us to make decisions.

Review from Admin Dept · Posted 8 days ago

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Identifying and recognising toxic behaviour, making it clear it doesn't belong at Workday and acting on it promptly

Review from Design Dept · Posted 7 days ago

Alignment amongst themselves, transparent and honest communication

Review from HR Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Focus on outcomes and stop micromanaging high performers.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Focus on employees, focus on customers, be more transparent, and have a strategy

Review from Product Dept · Posted 8 days ago

There are a lot of new leaders in the past two years who come with their own agenda. Workday used to be grounded in doing whats best for the company focusing on our employees and customers. Now marketing and talking about work is considered more important than actually executing and doing the work.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Lots and lots of changes happening almost every week. Employee concerns are not taken into proper account. Company cutting cost at a huge basis from the services they provide to compensation movements etc. Doesn't feel like employee retention is the priority anymore

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Market pay adjustment. I am way below market rate despite performing to a high level. Stop changing stack ranking levels based on a force distribution - this is a morale killer.

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Address middle-management gatekeeping that prioritizes safe, incremental progress over high-impact productivity breakthroughs.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Pay transparency, practicing company values

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Ensure we mive tesm leaders , weve had the sane people lesfers in EMEA financials fir too long

Review from IT Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Constant leadership churn as well as constant cuts to pay & benefits while still talking about how much they "care" about people.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 8 days ago

Empathy and making workday employee centric again

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Articulating a vision and motivating the workmates to deliver on the vision

Review from Product Dept · Posted 10 days ago

- we talk about growth, development and internal opportunity but there is none - we talk about empowerment and faster decision making but we add layers and talk things to death now. - we talk about location strategy, but we still backfill in high cost, CA, when you have capable internal cand elsewh

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Doing the right thing, and integrity.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Listen to employee concerns that are directly reported to the Human Resources team. There are employees that are trying to ensure they have an equitable and respectful experience here and not having adequate support is causing workmates to leave.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Truly showing that employees matter at this point its really all talk. Keeping their word on what they are going to do, when they're going to do it and continuously choose to be transparent. Workday is not what it used to be.

Review from Product Dept · Posted 10 days ago

There's not a lot of mid level leadership power. Everything has to go "up the chain" before it can be enacted and that keeps things slow and unorganized.

Review from HR Dept

Customer service. Everyone in sales wants to achieve and exceed the goals set. New processes are welcome to drive effeciency and best practice , but leading with fear is not what drives results. t

Review from Sales Dept

Fair compensation, more of a customer focus, hire best talent, better communication, return to what made Workay great versus replicaiting the sins of Oracle and Salesforce.
