New Manager Insights Hub Surfaces Automated
Insights and Actions, Empowering Managers to Further Develop and
Grow Their Teams
SAN
FRANCISCO, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leader in enterprise
cloud applications for finance and human resources, today
announced several new features within Workday Human Capital
Management (HCM) that simplify and elevate the manager experience
by empowering them with the tools they need to lead efficiently and
effectively.
The new capabilities being showcased today at Workday Rising,
the company's annual customer conference, leverage Workday AI to
provide managers with timely insights and recommended actions
around things like team time off, important dates, employee skills,
sentiment, goals, and more. Insights will be surfaced to managers
from within their workflow, enabling them to effortlessly create
opportunities for their team's career growth and development.
"Managers play such a pivotal role in the growth and development
of their teams, but face increasing pressure to improve
productivity and performance while navigating evolving workplace
policies," said David Somers, group
general manager, office of the chief human resource officer
product, Workday. "Workday is the single source of truth for people
data, enabling us to surface relevant team information to managers
when they need it most, helping them be more impactful. Workday AI
is making it easier for managers to succeed in their most important
role: people leadership."
Bringing Key Information and Actions to Managers'
Fingertips
Managers are vital in shaping the success of an organization and
driving the growth and development of their direct reports.
However, it's difficult to see and keep pace with all of the
activity happening across their teams. To empower managers to
better support their teams and improve productivity, engagement,
and performance, Workday announced the availability of Manager
Insights Hub, a new solution that delivers automated insights and
timely actions when they're needed most.
Manager Insights Hub leverages AI and ML to surface personalized
recommendations – such as connections, mentors, and gigs – and make
it easier for managers to proactively identify the best
opportunities for their employees based on skills interests, which
helps improve talent mobility and employee engagement across the
team. With the largest, cleanest set of financial and HR data,
Workday is uniquely suited to generate accurate and trustworthy
results so managers can engage their direct reports with meaningful
career conversations.
A Simplified and Personalized Experience to Adapt to Changing
Business Needs
To support high-priority business needs, Workday also introduced
Flex Teams, a new capability within Workday HCM that helps managers
quickly identify talent from across the organization, assemble a
team, and define roles. For example, if a manager needs a team to
launch a new product, they can leverage AI within Workday Skills
Cloud to see and add suggested employees based on their skills.
This helps managers act quickly while enabling employees to see
more tailored opportunities for growth based on their skills and
interests.
In addition, a new Home and Insights feature delivers curated
insights from Workday to provide managers with a holistic view of
relevant information related to their teams, including important
dates (e.g., birthdays, anniversaries, time off) and quick actions
to complete tasks directly from the home page. And with
integrations across Microsoft Teams and Slack, Workday brings the
most frequent and timely information right into the manager's flow
of work, allowing them to quickly approve time off and learning
enrollment requests in one click and have visibility into what's
awaiting them through My Tasks.
"Today's managers must be effective team leaders, but they're
often hindered by time-consuming tasks like building dashboards and
reports and tracking down relevant team information," said
Stacey Harris, chief research
officer and managing partner of Sapient Insights Group. "Workday
continues to invest in innovations that bring together the data and
tools that will help managers assemble the best teams for the work
at hand while improving the growth and development of their direct
reports."
Availability
Manager Insights Hub is available to Workday Talent Optimization
customers. Home and Insights, and Workday for Microsoft Teams and
Slack, are available to Workday HCM customers.
