Powered by Workday Illuminate, these agents are set to streamline business processes, empowering organizations to focus on strategic goals.
Key AI Agents Announced by Workday
- Recruiter Agent:
This AI agent transforms talent acquisition by proactively sourcing passive candidates, automating job descriptions, scheduling interviews, and offering insights into candidate profiles. Integrated with platforms like Microsoft Teams, it enhances recruiter capacity by 25%, reducing time-to-fill roles and improving the quality of hires. - Expenses Agent:
Errors in manual expense reports cost organizations thousands of hours annually. The Expenses Agent nearly eliminates the need for manual expense reporting by creating, submitting, and approving reports automatically. Employees can easily upload receipts, and the system matches transactions, significantly reducing reporting time and errors. - Succession Agent:
Succession planning is transformed into a continuous, AI-powered process that helps managers identify and develop future leaders. The agent can recommend successors, generate personalized development plans, and prompt managers to update succession strategies, fostering leadership growth within the organization. - Workday Optimize Agent:
The Workday Optimize agent enhances business efficiency by identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies in business processes. It can flag and correct issues, such as manual data entry during employee onboarding, helping companies streamline operations.
Expanding AI Collaboration
In addition to these agents, Workday is developing integrated agent capabilities with platforms like Salesforce and Microsoft. This will allow seamless assistance across commonly used enterprise platforms, further enhancing user productivity.
