Sana from Workday

Sana is the new way to work in Workday. Make sure your organisation is ready for it.

Albida helps HR and finance teams prepare their data, processes and people, so Sana and Workday's AI agents deliver value from day one.

Ask Sana
Which open roles are at risk of missing their fill date, and who could we move into them?
  • Checked open roles against headcount and budget
  • Matched internal candidates on skills
  • Drafted outreach to each candidate
  • Waiting for your approval before anything is sent

Illustrative example. Every action follows your Workday permissions and approvals.

What Sana is

One place to ask, and agents that carry the work through

Ask in plain language

Employees and managers ask for what they need. Workday's agents handle the steps behind it, end to end.

Routine work in the background

Repetitive tasks in hiring, payroll and finance run quietly, within your business rules and approvals.

Where your people already work

Sana reaches into everyday tools such as Teams, Slack, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini Enterprise and Claude, with your permissions applied.

Product capabilities as described by Workday. Some features are rolling out to customers over time.

89%

of professionals at midsize organisations say AI only builds their confidence when they trust the data underneath it.

Why readiness matters

Agents are only as good as what sits underneath them

  • 01Clean, consistent HR and finance data, so answers can be trusted first time.
  • 02Clear processes and approvals, so agents know what they can do and when to ask.
  • 03Confident people, so new ways of working are adopted rather than worked around.
