I've surpassed more than 8 years at Workday and have had the rare position to stay in one part of the product for the same amount of time. The seismic AI market shift is upon us, and with the acquisition of Sana, we decided to usher in the beginnings of integrating that experience into the front door of Workday.
Showcasing search and conversation: We finally brought the search into the spotlight, to make it obvious. This is a new home page, one that you'll begin to use differently, in a way not technically possible before for the product.
System-wide visual update:Â From working with the central design system team, to the incoming Sana product folks, we workshopped and created a new visual system that would merge the two worlds in a cohesive way. Sana's pracical minimalism meets Workday's colorful and complex capability.
More intentional spacing, content compartmentalization, and laying down the infrastructure for customizing the home page for delivery to different audiences. The new Home will be able to serve customer's industry specific business needs.
A big capability we've delivered recently is integration of external systems. If customers have a specific time tracking, or scheduling product, they can create "widgets" to deliver to their employees' home page. The combinations and possibilities are endless.
We'll be redesigning the configuration of the Home page, to modernize that experience and add a ton of powerful tooling for customers to target specific demographics of their population. We'll also be building out the infrastructure for the customizable parts of Home content, so that everyone's page will be personal and curated.
