FAQs.
How does Workday use AI to improve recruiting, development, internal mobility, and succession planning?
Workday Talent Management applies AI across the full talent lifecycle on a single people-data core. HiredScore AI for Recruiting and HiredScore AI for Talent Mobility surface internal, past, and external applicants against open roles, while Talent Highlights, Career Pathing, and succession features use the same data to guide development and identify ready-now leaders. Customer results include a 35% reduction in hiring manager review time and up to 70% of requisitions covered from existing talent pools.
What is Workday Skills Cloud and how does it power skills-based hiring and learning?
Workday Skills Cloud is an AI-based skills intelligence foundation with a market-informed ontology of more than 120,000 skills. Included with Workday HCM, it uses machine learning to infer, suggest, and validate skills across worker profiles, job requisitions, and learning content — enabling skills-based matching for hiring, mobility, and personalised learning. UK insurer Aviva has used improved internal movement, supported by Workday, to unlock significant savings.
Can Workday integrate with UK HR, payroll, and third-party systems we already use?
Yes. Workday Integration Cloud provides API-based and pre-built connectors for third-party payroll, ATS, LMS, time clocks, and identity systems. Workday Cloud Connect for Third-Party Payroll and the Payroll Effective Change Interface (PECI) support UK payroll providers, and native HMRC integrations handle Real Time Information Full Payment Submissions, Employer Payment Summaries, and incoming notifications such as tax code and student loan notices. Workday Cloud Connect for Learning links Workday to external content vendors.
How long does it take to implement Workday Talent Management for a UK organisation?
For UK organisations already live on Workday HCM, Workday Talent Optimization typically deploys in 6 to 10 weeks using the phased Your Way methodology across preparation, configuration, testing, and go-live. Larger, multi-country UK programmes that add Core HCM, Recruiting, Learning, and Peakon Employee Voice are staged across longer phases — a typical enterprise programme moves through a Phase 0 preparation window, a Phase 1 for Core HCM and Recruiting, and a Phase 2 for Talent Optimization, Advanced Compensation, Learning, and Peakon Employee Voice. Actual timelines depend on scope, integrations, and change readiness.
How does Workday Learning, powered by Sana, deliver personalised learning at scale and support compliance and mandatory training?
Workday Learning, powered by Sana, combines the Workday Learning compliance system of record with Sana's AI-native learner experience on a single platform. Dynamic audiences and automated learning campaigns assign mandatory and role-based training using live Workday data, while a personal AI tutor and smart search personalise learning in the flow of work. Customers have reported 5x faster compliance reporting and a 3x increase in learner engagement.
What capabilities does Workday offer for skills-based internal mobility and matching employees to roles or career paths?
Workday brings together Skills Cloud, Career Hub, Talent Marketplace, Flex Teams, and HiredScore AI for Talent Mobility to match employees to jobs, gigs, mentors, and learning based on skills, experience, and interests. The interactive Career Path Builder uses machine learning to suggest realistic next moves. UK bank NatWest filled 53% of positions internally after modernising its talent and performance approach with Workday.
