It is the most comprehensive, detailed and straightforward HR system I have personally used, and I wholeheartedly recommend it as a user, and I imagine it is very straight forward to administrate as well given how easy to navigate it is. > > **Cons**: It is very hard to be negative / suggest improvements about workday, but I would say the one thing stopping it from being a complete user friendly system is the lack of customisation, for example there is no ability to set your own theme / colour code certain things which may cause accessibility issues for some people. Seeing this implemented would be nice but it is not a necessary addition. > > Workday is a very complete HR system which I have had the pleasure of using first hand as a user, and I'm very satisfied by it's features, how easy to navigate it is, and how easy it is to update any personal information I need to. I would wholeheartedly recommend workday to a business looking for a reliable HR system having experienced using it as a user, it is so complex in it's features but also seamless to navigate which makes it a great detailed system. ----- ### "Probably the best HR tool" — 5.0/5 > **Mudit** | *10 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: workday is very easy to use and very popular among all the other receruitment tools.
