Workday Expands AI Capabilities Through Josh Bersin Partnership

Workday plans to integrate Galileo into Sana, its platform for managing AI agents and workplace tasks. The partnership will combine Workday’s enterprise technology with The Josh Bersin Company’s extensive human resources research. As a result, customers will gain access to specialized workforce guidance within their existing business systems.

Galileo draws information from more than 50,000 pages of research covering talent management and workforce strategy. Additionally, the platform includes industry benchmarks, leadership practices, and examples from organizations facing similar workforce challenges. HR managers can use natural language questions to access relevant findings without reviewing multiple research reports.

For example, companies planning international expansion can examine workforce strategies that other organizations previously implemented. Galileo can identify relevant skills, staffing approaches, and organizational structures that support business expansion. Consequently, managers can use established research to evaluate workforce requirements and develop more informed operational plans.

Galileo Integration Strengthens Data Security and HR Decision Support

Workday will operate Galileo within Sana’s existing security policies, user permissions, and organizational access controls. This arrangement allows companies to explore workforce scenarios while maintaining their established data protection requirements. The system will use organizational context to provide guidance relevant to specific business needs.

The companies designed Galileo to support workforce planning rather than make employment decisions independently. Its advisory functions cover recruitment strategies, professional development, leadership planning, and organizational design. HR teams will retain responsibility for evaluating recommendations and making final employment decisions.

The integration also reflects Workday’s approach to supporting specialized third-party agents alongside its existing products. Through this model, customers can access external expertise without moving between separate workplace platforms. Meanwhile, Workday continues expanding Sana’s capabilities across human resources, finance, and enterprise operations.

Workday Targets February 2027 Launch for Sana Enterprise Customers

Workday Human Capital Management customers can already purchase Galileo through the company’s existing commercial channels. However, Workday expects to introduce the integrated agent for Sana Enterprise customers in February 2027. The planned rollout will extend access to Josh Bersin’s research within Workday’s workplace environment.

The partnership also supports the companies’ broader HR 2030 initiative, which examines changing workforce requirements. This program focuses on organizational preparation as companies increasingly combine employee responsibilities with automated systems. Its research addresses workforce skills, leadership development, and changes in business operations.

Workday and The Josh Bersin Company also plan to introduce an HR learning curriculum in early 2027. The program will help HR professionals develop skills for managing organizational changes and workplace technology. Together, these initiatives will expand Workday’s HR advisory services and support its broader enterprise technology strategy.
