Let AI do the heavy lifting
On-Demand
HR Teams like yours are being asked to do more with less: ship new capabilities quickly, support the business through constant change, and keep everything secure and compliant — often with a very small team.
In this 30-min session, Orthofix (a Dallas-area customer) will share how they set up clear ownership, define roles, and use Workday’s AI‑driven capabilities to run Workday as a strategic asset, not just a system of record.
To bring it to life, our Solution Consulting team will close with a live demo of Workday Deployment Agent, showing how it can automate the heavy lifting across configuration and deployment work so your lean team can move faster and focus on what matters most.
